Best Bluetooth or Wifi Speaker?

Hey All,

I've got my mac streaming via Airtunes to my main room and wanted to add a speaker in my kitchen. Rather than wire it, I was thinking I'd add a bluetooth or wifi one.

I've been looking at the Blueant M1 but am open to any and all suggestions. Does anyone have any recommendations?

My only request is that it have it's own volume knob on it.

Thanks in advance!

MacBook Pro 2.8GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, Mac OS X (10.5.5), 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3

The main concern is will the set up interface with Airtunes?

A possible solution is to add an Airport Express where you want the speaker to be then plug that speaker into the audio jack.

I would imagine it wouldn't be a problem (although I really don't know). I'd prefer not to buy the airport express and the speaker. I'd rather just get one speaker if possible. I just figured that at this stage in the technology game there was a good solution someone might know about.

If you have a speaker connected to Airtunes and it had BT capability then fine. The point is that iTunes/Airtunes does not have BT capability as far as I know.

I was planning on just using the bluetooth via my MacBook Pro so basically I just want the best mobile/versatile speaker.
