Hi all,

Had a bit of a search through and couldn't find anything on PH about this one specifically, but thinking of picking up a Cambridge Minx Air 200 to sit in the kitchen and play music over (predominantly) Bluetooth from my phone, iPad or laptop, internet radio and such like.

They would appear to get some good reviews:

Does anyone have any experience of these first hand? I'm going to get down to Richer Sounds when I have a chance to have a listen.

I would go for a Sonos Play 3/5, but to be honest have been put off by the lack of Bluetooth connectivity as I know my phone (a Blackberry Z10) will struggle using their specific app, and I also don't like the idea of having to also buy a Sonos Bridge just to get it to work wirelessly without being plugged directly in to the router (though I understand that may be changing/has already changed?)

Any other recommendations of a similar nature and in the same ball park price range (c.£350)? I've also read reviews on the Samsung M7 and Geneva Model S and they also appear to be good bets.

Thanks in advance.
