I have two powered audio monitors attached to a 10" sub, that has a 3.5mm output that I normally connect to my desktops sound card (which has a kick ass amplifier). I was wondering which device would allow me to control my speakers via bluetooth, say on my phone or something similar. Also, I know when directly connecting the sub's output cable into my iphone reduces the sound quality substantially then when connected to my desktop. Would I experience the same poor quality with some sort of bluetooth device? Or is there some kind amplified bluetooth receiver that can make this all work for me.

Thanks all you audio guys!

What would be your source like? If your source is from network or mobile devices then you can use WiFi.

How does your system set up right now, What is your music source. I gather you're trying to play music of your iPhone directly to your powered speakers? If that's the case then all you need is preamp. One thing you have to remember though, your ipod has compress audio format and that is very poor to begin with. Your source should be Lossless or at least loosy with very low compression.

Check the example links below.

Hopefully under $150 as long as it can retain sound quality, would there be some way to turn my computer into a wireless receiver and connect mobile devices to the computer and play the sound through my pc's sound crad? That would retain sound quality and allow wireless control of the music played

you can also use a headphone amp or a DAC with preamp/headphone amp.
