For a while now I've been looking at being able to play music on laptop through an amp and speakers in my living room and also through a portable bluetooth speaker elsewhere in my flat.

It looks like I need a bluetooth adapter for my laptop and another to plug into my amp. I've never tried this before and want to check everything's compatible. Any advice is much appreciated. :)

Here's the bluetooth adapter I saw for my laptop (3 year old Samsung running Windows 7)

Was thinking of getting this adapter for my amp

I'm looking at 3 different portable speakers

Does this look like it'd work?

Yes :)

I take it your amp doesnt have wifi? I bought a new one a few months ago with wifi and you can stream spotify directly to it

That's great, thanks for confirming.

My amps a 8/9 year old Cambridge Audio so unfortunately not. Do you have any particular recommendation out of the 3 portable speakers? I keep switching between the Bose and Sony but now tempted with the Creative as the reviews look very similar and it's quite a bit cheaper.

Sorry, I dont know enough about them to make a recommendation

I bought this to plug into my 30 year old amp for streaming music from my Samsung galaxy tab which I use as my music storage in the house. I've had no issues with it losing signal but some of the reviews do say it needs a pretty unobstructed line of sight. I don't know what you'd use on the laptop side but imagine a Bluetooth usb dongle may be sufficient.
