I'm looking for a single wireless (Bluetooth or wifi) speaker to stream music from Apple Music for my downstairs rec room. The room is about 15 ft by 25 ft. I want a speaker that sounds clear and has good quality bass as well. The purpose is for listening to music when I invite my friends over, so while I do want a good quality, it doesn't have to be something unnecessarily powerful and expensive. What are the best speakers that you recommend for me? The price range is under $350 (but suggestions above that are welcome if you tell me why you recommend that speaker). I've been looking at the sonos play 3, which from what I've read is a good speaker but only worth the price if you buy multiple and create a full home theatre system (which is not what I want). What do you recommend?

Under your budget but bought my kid the UE Boom 2 for Christmas, sounds great in the basement. Buy a second and pair them for stereo.

Eh, B&O/Bose tend to be overpriced to hell. They are always nice, but better stuff is out there. As people have mentioned above, I can personally recommend the HK Onyx Studio 3, but to be frank a majority of stuff will suffice as you aren't actually looking for audiophile quality (your using Bluetooth) and you just want to fill a room.

I hear Hillary Clinton's speaking calendar is pretty open these days.

Thanks! I've read some reviews and this seems like the speaker for me. What's up with the fact that it's a $450 speaker on the HK website, but sells for around $150 on virtually all other websites? Is it $450 quality and I'm seeing really good deals, or $150 quality and way overpriced?

I'll speak, need some money action though, but on a serious note. My Bose Bluetooth is the best

They have quite a bit of margin. $125 is roughly employee cost at Best Buy.
