Boostin' Kev Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 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) http://www.amazon.co.uk/Plugable-Bluetooth-Adapter-Raspberry-Compatible/dp/B009ZIILLI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1441953823&sr=8-1&keywords=bluetooth+adapter Was thinking of getting this adapter for my amp http://www.amazon.co.uk/Logitech-980-000913-Bluetooth-Audio-Adapter/dp/B00IJYG4FY/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1441953823&sr=8-7&keywords=bluetooth+adapter I'm looking at 3 different portable speakers http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00XVKW0PY/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=28FYA13L3QKA7&coliid=I50NA7D5AM4F5&psc=1 http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00UQSEW6E/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_S_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=28FYA13L3QKA7&coliid=I226Z0AVFVIIQZ&psc=1 http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00N415E7Q/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=28FYA13L3QKA7&coliid=I3G4JLW61NOFKP 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boostin' Kev Posted September 11, 2015 Author Share Posted September 11, 2015 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.

Mybitchunderprotest Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 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. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B009OBCAW2/ref=ya_aw_od_pi?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
