Where’s a body supposed to buy electronics these days?

Other than Best Buy or Amazon, that is. I just read that J&R Music World went out of business in 2014! I neeed a tabletop or bookshelf thing that will: 1. connect Bluetoothly with my phone’s playlist, 2. stream international radio stations, 3. play local FM radio, 4. AND play my music cds. Is there anything left in the world that will do these four things?

Something like this?

Does it have to stream radio stations itself, or can you do that through your phone with the bluetooth connection? We have something like this, which does Bluetooth, CD, local radio, and iPod.

Here's another option from Toshiba, not quite as spendy as that Bose version.

Seems like streaming internet radio probably will have to be via Bluetooth for all these options, though.

Response by poster: I found what I needed on The Sharper Image.
plhlox, it’s very like the one you linked to.
(mcgsa, thank you for the link, but Bose is a bit $teepish for our pockets.)
This case is now closed.

My household gets the Crutchfield catalogue which is a trove of items audio-visual.

I like Crutchfield. I ordered my stereo receiver from them last year because their return policy is so much more generous than that of Best Buy (the handiest local store). Not that I needed to return it, it's perfect.

Maybe B&H Photo? They do a lot more than photo and video. Beware, though...even their shopping cart system closes for Shabbat (4:30 PM ET Friday to 6:00 PM ET Saturday).

I had a great experience buying a computer at Microcenter a couple years ago.
