name for stereo system in single case

A few current product designs feature stereo driver pairings in a single unit, essentially offering the simplicity of radio boxes, but playing an external audio source.

Many are extremely inexpensive designs packed with high-tech features, but a few are more subdued, extending the low-end of the range of mid-range manufacturers.
A few examples of the following:

The aim of course is not to satisfy the most discerning audiophile, but to make a pleasant experience with very modest demands on space and investment (for example, in a kitchen, someone listening frequently to talk but occasionally to music).

Is any particular name given for such a product, that is, one essentially having the following features?:
  • A single case
  • Stereo speakers (drivers, e.g. two woofers and two tweeters)
  • Internal amplification, for line input to the whole unit.

Hah! It’s only a boom box if it has a handle on top. Gotta carry it on your shoulder or hanging down below, walkin’ down the getto while blasting Easy E!

As far as the OP is concerned, I think these are really just called "bluetooth speakers" nowadays. I thought you were going to mention something like this:

It looks like Best Buy is calling these "Stereo Shelf Systems".
