Thinking to buy a WiiM Ultra to connect with Bose Soundtouch 20

[Kees]

The reason I have this in mind is because Bose terminates this Soundtouch line, and the Soundtouch 20 (and other Soundtouch devices) will become useless.

But: is this a good option? Is it just putting a RCA cable from the WiiM Ultra to the Soundtouch 20? And if this is possible, would the sound quality equals the sound of the Soundtouch as stand alone speaker? I listen often to TuneIn.

I hope I can avoid buying new speakers, all suggestions are welcome.

Regards

I am happy with my current setup. The Ultra and Mini connected each with a Bose Soundtouch 20. But reading again about Bose ending the services they even mention possible disfunctioning the AUX. Then I would need new speakers.
Question: without also buying an amp, which (active) speakers come to mind? The sound quality should be equal or better than the Soundtouch.

I don’t know how the Bose Soundtouch sounds, but I do have a Soundlink Flex and a Bose soundbar that I’m happy with. I know, totally different applications, but that’s all I have for reference. That being said, have you taken a look at the soon-to-be-released WiiM Sound speaker? It looks like it should start coming available in about a month. You won’t find a better integration with your Ultra.

Largely depends on budget.
There are some great active speakers from the likes of Kef but not cheap.
Do you want a single stereo box or a pair of speakers?

@Eddie Spaghetti, the WiiM Sound is an interesting option. I am curious for reviews en also the Lite version.
@d6jg, I will need two speakers, one attached to the Mini, one to the Ultra. Each in a different room. Kef seems to be above budget.
