Q: poor bluetooth range when audio streaming

My early 2015 Macbook has very poor range when audio streaming to bluetooth speakers. my laptop has to be within 1-2meters for clear uninterrupted sound. any further and the sounds jumps in and out like and old scratched cd. not through any walls or anything just want it to work from one end of my bedroom to the other maybe 3 meters.. i have a sony sound bar with bluetooth audio streaming and a beats pill the range issue is consistent with both speakers. if i use my iPhone 6 paired with the same speakers the range is really good 6+meters.. i have already had the laptop replaced from jbhifi for this problem and the replacement was identical. have apple cheeped out on the bluetooth internals on this model?   I'm wondering if anyone else is having similar bluetooth problems with these new MacBooks?

MacBook (Retina, 12-inch, Early 2015), OS X El Capitan (10.11.3)
