Visiting family out in the platteland, I got asked where they can get a set of proper powered speakers that are BT enabled so all their iTunes based music can be played from a proper set-up. They've got a set of old Celestion bookshelf speakers
which is their reference ito decent sound - they have a Bose dock, so that is covered.

I suggested that they rather look for BT enabled amp and just replace the Yamaha amp they have with that. I know NuPrime has BT, but I have a feeling they are not looking to spend that much.
I found this on PartsExpress:
http://www.parts-express.com/lepai-lp7498e-200w-class-d-stereo-amplifier-with-bluetooth-aptx-and-power-supply--310-298

Any other local options? The Lepai should come to around R3k landed, but then support is only on the Net. It's specs are also not THAT impressive, tbh.
Is there perhaps a BT streamer one could just add to the Yamaha amp?
Thanks in advance!
