Maybe I got mixed up - seems the forum is a bit broken so I can't click on links or edit posts etc....

@mattyfez

can I bring you back 'on topic'.... you suggested the Tangent kit when I started this thread a few days ago, I went to look at it today and the shop brought up some possible issues / why they think I should get the Wiim instead.

How's your experience against the issues they raised? I know I said they'd put me off, but that's what I'm trying to ascertain, is that real or are they just upselling me? 

Any other opinions welcomed, but if I'm mivering over whether the issues on the Tangent can be set aside because it's still half the price of the Wiim, the answer is definitively not another variant on the Wiim theme but at nearly £900 😉 - forgiveness or not!

(and yes - seems like one of the links that don't function as links has buggered the thread up. Hope that's what you mean by tedious, not the content, although keeping you lot on track is like herding cats)

Also seems like I can't cut and paste text - so yes, £319 wiim would definitely do what I need, question is whether Tangent at £149  also will or are the issues that the shop raised really issues? And leave me £170 for some high end directional cable (yes, that's the sound of a deliberate can of worms being opened 😉 )

I have the ampster BTII - I really like it but I mostly use it hard wired, and it's sat under my TV. The bluetooth works great streaming from my phone but I dont try to use it from a different room so I can't really comment on range.
