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.

Naim has a rather expensive line of products often referred to as "all in one" systems. You still need to add speakers to them.  The "all in one" label seems to fit the OP's scenario just as well.
