Mini cd system for $500?


I know this question has been asked before. I have two
BIG stereo systems in my home.

I am looking for a one piece system.......yes like
the BOSE thing, or a cd receiver and maybe get two speakers for $500. I want to use it in my kitchen and be able to easily take it to my back porch.

Any suggestions on what is good and out there now.
I would also like inputs to hook up a television
on my back porch for enhanced sound.....I am all ears.
I can be swayed a hundred bucks or so. THANKS!!!!

onkyo makes a mini system (I THINK CS525) for around 200 bucks which actually sounds very good and might serve your needs, such as they are.
Denon system got good reviews from Hifi magazines -

If you want something really portable, the best sounding boombox is JVC Kaboom - you can get them on ebay - some are more powerful than others - check them out and get the most powerful one for better sound.
