anyone got any recommendations for a half decent docking station or speakers that wont break the bank?
I'd prefer it to be universal but just iphone/ipod is ok. I dont want it to be heavy on the luggage scales and i don't want it to sound like mush(i've been spoiled by my own hifi system consisting of Naim!)
Cheers

Astonishingly untill this morning I was looking for something similar to that very same description,light, portable and low cost. I found what I was looking for at Tesco's for less than £15.00 and I'm delighted with it. It's battery operated (it comes with batteries) although there is an option to buy a mains supply on line.
My iPhone is loaded with over a 1000 tracks and simply by plugging this unit into the headphone output socket, music is amplified to an extraordinary volume level.
It's universal as well. Of course it does not sound like my home Bose unit, but is certainly good enough to enjoy my tunes while travelling.
It is called an i-StationGO IPS006 and marketed by Logic3 of Watford. www.logic3.com

k for it's weight since the shop had nailed it down, how inconvenient but they lost any possibility of a sale when i asked what the weight was and they just looked at me with that blank expression!

Isn't Bose a bit overpriced for what you get?

If it's the Bose sound link which is a bluetooth device then it's around .5 of a kilo. Battery charge lasts around 5 hours and it's small and robust and a snip at 245 squidlies. 
That's the portable option but if I was going for something for home use it would have to be the B & W Zeppelin air or perhaps a decent soundbar for under the TV you can connect up to.

bose means nothing, i dont get why folks are amazed with bose, decent sound but usually 4 times the price becuase it says bose.

It's portable i'm looking for, just need something to use when i'm in the loom, the price may have dropped a bit as i've seen the soundlink for 199 squid.If it's the Bose sound link which is a bluetooth device then it's around .5 of a kilo. Battery charge lasts around 5 hours and it's small and robust and a snip at 245 squidlies.

i did notice a very reasonably priced sony dock the other day at about 80 squid
