Hi, I recently moved into a house with in-ceiling speakers and Zoneplayer 120 / Connect Amp connected to the speakers throughout the house, other than in the basement where there is no amp.  I am using the basement room as a gym so I don’t see the need to have that room play the same music as other parts of the house.

I was just going to get a used Zoneplayer 120 / Connect Amp but they still sell for $200+ CAD where I am.  My questions is do you see any benefit in getting that over a generic Bluetooth amp for less than half the price.  Bluetooth would be nice because I am then not limited to S1 music services (no Airplay, etc.).

If I stick to similar wattage of the Zoneplayer 120 (55W per speaker), will I miss out on sound quality? Some alternative Bluetooth amps I found quickly on Amazon are:

Look forward to hearing your views. Thanks.
