A quick search like the text advised would have helped you as this has been covered a few times, but I'll answer anyways 😉

 

There are several options for you:

  1. If you are only looking for Bluetooth, there are many out there with varying levels of quality.

  2. You should know that while Bose has discontinued their SoundTouch line they are still selling some of their SoundTouch Wireless Link adapters. These "Link adapters" add Bluetooth, Airplay, & WiFi music to any speaker in someone's home. This allows them all to play the same music (or different music) throughout the house.

  3. It might be a good idea to see if you can upgrade your receiver. One of the AV35 models can even work with both SoundTouch & Bluetooth (but not Airplay).

  4. Then there are Video/Music devices like GoogleTV that sell for $50 or AppleTV for $150. Both would add a lot of features and functions that are not found with standard Bluetooth devices. There are many ways to connect these to your receiver so you can use them with your modern HDTV.

I hope that this solves your problem. Let us know what you end up doing 🙂
