All HiFi experts:
My old man lives in a house with very thick walls. The house suffers from really slow broadband speeds and rubbish WiFi signals.
Last year I helped him source a load of Sonos stuff (Play 5, connect, boost, plus a nas drive). Unfortunately the connection was intermittent and only the Play 5 would work (it sits under the study where the router is). Connect did not work at all, as it was at the other end of the house connected to the Cambridge Audio hifi.
Strangely in the same house I can get Spotify to stream from a mobile to a Bluetooth speaker just fine (Bose Soundlink).
As an alternative to Sonos, I was wondering if I could get him a Bose Soundtouch 20. They have WiFi for multiroom or Bluetooth for a direct feed from a phone. I was going to suggest they try it with Bluetooth.
Am I missing something or could it be used in this way? It would not be multiroom, but at least they could access Spotify etc via mobiles/ipads.
Nothing against Sonos, I kept his old Play 5 and think it is the shizzle.
