Living room music

Hi, MLS. I'm posting this here because I couldn't find a more fitting sub.

I moved some time ago and have an unfulfilled need for music speakers in the living room.

The thing is, my musical needs have a budget constraint (around 200 euros), and need to be wireless. Just the feeding, though. I want to be able to feed music to the thing wirelessly, while I also need it to be attached to a power cord because there's no way I'll recharge something I intend on using next to the tv.

Now the problem with the wireless: it needs to work with Apple Music because I've been listening to more new artists in the last month than in the last year and I really enjoy it. I also don't really care about having to deal with another app. This is the main deal breaker about the otherwise probably perfect sonos play 1.

So far I've been considering the Bluetooth Harman Kardon sounsticks but, dispute liking the looks of them very much, I' not completely sold on the amount of space they take up.

The Harman Kardon Aura does a lot of things really well, but it goes a tad over the budget (runs at around 400 euros).

I want to be able to listen to music while cooking/reading/having dinner. Ideally the setup would work in a small house party setting when I can leave around my iPad with the Apple Music app open and people will put up whatever the hell they like.

Thoughts? Ideas? Has any of you had similar issues and solved them?
