Beosound Core alternatives?

[Sir Snaz]

Hi all, just finishing renovating our house - which when we bought it had a hardwired B&O system running through out.

I have some lovely B&O 8000 powered speakers in the living room that I want to keep, but want to get them hooked up to a wireless device instead of them being wired into an obsolete B&O head unit.

B&O have advised me that the beosound core is the device I am after …..but it is £600.00!!

Wondered if there are any alternatives out there that do the same thing for a lot less.?

All of us in the house are iPhone users, and my daughter and I (the two main music consumers) both use spotify.

thanks in advance

thanks for that - at the risk of showing myself up for the luddite that I am - will I need some sort of special adapter for the speakers to attach to one of those box thingys?
