There is no difference. There was something wrong with the link, possibly edited. If you go to the url and press enter to refresh it, it works.

Why don't they just design a speaker that hangs from a ceiling?

interesting, still id rather have this beautiful thing known as quality instead of bullshit appearances which dont do anything.

...You're transfering bits...in a glorified UDP setting...it's no different than internet audio. Bluetooth is fine for audio.

Wow. The stupidity here makes my head hurt. 

[steffen_anywhere]

It's cool and everything, but I doubt that it will sound as great as advertised... It is going to sound ok, I'm going to guess here... Comparable to something like the Jawbone Jambox. Just like all other small portable speakers these days. This will NOT replace a proper hifi system at home, at least not for me...

Wow. The stupidity here makes my head hurt.

Says the guy who doesn't even understand the Bluetooth protocol and has never used it outside his car.

I said it could be used just fine, not that it was built for premium audio, and that's true because Bluetooth is a glorified UDP at the heart. Since we use UDP every day for audio transfer, you can use Bluetooth just fine. If you'd like to use strong reasoning as to why we can't instead of insulting someone who spent a year studying as well as implementing client-server systems and data transfer protocols, then do so. Otherwise, take your uneducated butt to a resource where you can read up on and fully understand Bluetooth.
