Hi guys I just found this bluetooth kit for a besound 9000, has anyone used this?, are they any good?

or should i not waste my money?
Thanks in advance
so this is in my opinion nothing special. you can even use another bluetooth kit like a logitech wireless kit or same from belkin.
look here: http://www.blink.com.kw/product-detail/logitech-wireless-speaker-adapter-for-bluetooth-devices-smartphones-tablets-notebooks.html
this is what the kit in the ebay auction does. nothing more and nothing less.

Have you any experience with either of those, or which one to reccomend?
sorry about the spelling (damn iphone)
Thanks, any chance you could give me a link to the appropriate airplay device would be great
Years ago - so it seems - I experimented a lot with Bluetooth audio receivers for my audio system.
That stopped immidiately as I discovered the AirPort Express from Apple!
Some Bluetooth receivers are less worse than others
But the problem is, that if you don't want to go the 'iDevice/AirPlay route', there in't really an alternative to Bluetooth receivers.
My answer to your last question:

If you should go for the AirPort Express and you want to improve the sound quality, you should consider using a small external DAC with it - to avoid the rather poor internal one.

There is a tv - and there is a BV
My local dealer warned me today to be aware of the imminent demise of the Playmaker .

Did he want you to sign up for an Essence

If I were the OP, I would buy the PM even though it is being discontinued. It does all that the OP is trying to do with better quality, and if you play your cards right you would get a deal on the PM that is going out. I know I would give a deal if he asked :)
Ah, you know... A little B&O here, a little there
Tonker:I'm laying in bed streaming music by Bluetooth to my new Bose Soundlink mini. For what it is, it's excellent. And never looses its signal either! Beovision 11-46, Beolab 14, Beovision 8-32, Beovision 3-32, Avant RF 28, Beosound 8, Beolit 12, Beocom 2, Beotime, H6 and Form 2, Beo 4's and a 6.
Tonker - what type of bluetooth are you using?
I have no idea i'm afraid. I use a mini iPad, my Nexus 5 and my wives iPhone 5S. Talk about an easy setup.
The battery lasted all of last night, and i streamed Spotify and Tunein radio to it. For it's price and considering it's size, it's easily one of the best purchases i have made in ages. I cannot recommend it enough for a bedroom/kitchen, or for travelling. I listen to a lot of talk radio(LBC/Radio Five Live etc) and it is much less boomy than the A8 or Beolit 12.

How many wives are in your easy set- up Chris?

Thanks guys, I think i have decided to go with the airport express, does anyone know if i can connect it to the beovision avant 32 RCA audio input instead of the beosound 9000 because (a) I can hide the box and cable behind the tv and (b) I wont have to buy the DIN adapter for the bs9000 aux input.

They all share one iPhone!
just found this one
Advance Acoustic WTX-500
google it and see for your self, it houses the "new" apt-X bluetooth standard with said CD quality
SpecifikationerKompressionsratio:4:1Audioformat:16-bitars, 44.1 kHz (CD-kvalitet)Datarate:352 kbpsFrekvensomfång:10 Hz - 22 kHzAlgoritmisk fördröjning:<1.89 ms @ Fs 48 kHzDynamiskt omfång:>92 dBSignal/Brusförhållande:THD+N: -68.8 dBRäckvidd:ca 10 meterDimensioner:BxHxD 10 x 45 x 60mm
can also mention that I my self use the Logitech Wireless Speaker Adapter since almost two years and find it very nice sounding. Will move on to streaming sometime, but bluetooth is still very convenient.
Sure apt-X is the best if it comes to bluetooth, and bluetooth is "very convenient". (in small rooms)...
...but "Kompressionsratio: 4:1" and 'Datarate 352kpbs" is far from 'said CD quality".
