I am thinking of getting one mostly for playing Spotify from my phone using Bluetooth... and as a portable sound solution for sound when on vacation. I was also looking at this: http://www.crutchfield.com/p_580CS355R/Onkyo-CS-355-Colibrino-Red.html

I haven't used the iLoud, so I can't help there, but I have a Soundfreaq SFQ-01 that sounds very good.

The downside for me is that the unit has no line or phones out jacks, so I can't feed it into the mixer on my practice rig. It had a lesser tablet I use for mp3, Youtube, and drum machine playback that is tethered (via headphone cable), which prompted me to run a Tab 3 and the Soundfreaq in parallel, so I can dispense w the cable and still mix or control playback from any position in the room.
 
The lack of output jacks led me to search for an alternative and I found quite a few. Some feed an analig stereo signal from Bluetooth input and run on batteries, others use a wallwart.
 
I haven't tested any of them yet, but at least two are widely available at Best Buy, the prices I remember are $20 and $50. Do a search and you should find many options that expand the possibilities.

Thanks JT... I am also looking at this: http://www.amphony.com/products/bluetooth-audio-receiver.htm
It is the model 300 from Amphony. At 79 bucks it looks like a steal.
From the site: "This Bluetooth wireless amplifier delivers 2 x 40 Watts of RMS power to a pair of speakers. The built-in power amplifier delivers the energy efficiency of today's best digital class-D audio amplifiers while at the same time offering far lower audio distortion at only 0.04 %"
 
I already have speakers and can easily pick up others. I will likely still get the iLoud to play with IK stuff, play guitar and because it is so portable.
 
Thanks for the reply!
