Portable speaker

Is there a portable speaker on the market that works with Sonos. For example, I would like to be able to use my Bose SoundLink Mini on my deck and have it connected to my Sonos system on an as needed basis, verses plugging my Sonos Play:1 into an outlet each time.

    When I use the Bose Soundlink Resolve with my Sonos system thru Connect, they are not in sync. The Bose speaker lags the songs system so I get an echo sound. It works fine thru a normal amplified system e.g. Logitech Sound System.

    I assume this is the set up you have: A Connect, wired to the input jack on the Bose. And other Sonos components as well. Are you seeing a lag when music is selected to play via the Connect+Bose, that is part of a group of other Sonos components, with respect to the music playing through those components?

    I can't see why this should be the case, so while you confirm what I have described, someone else with an answer will hopefully post on this thread. There is something happening in the Bose to cause this delay, but this is a rare thing for a typical bluetooth speaker like the Revolve.

    A Connect is wired to the input jack on the Bose. The lag occurs when I am playing music thru the Sonos with the Connect set up as a different room. As I said it works fine with a normal HiFi.
