What Bluetooth amp should I buy?

[MetallicPie]

I am working on a speaker cabinet that looks kinda high end and am using the Rockford Fosgate R16x3. I have showered the Internet far and wide looking for a good bluetooth amplifier to drive them, and have come up with little to nothing. The speakers are 45watts RMS, ao I have been looking for a 2x45W amp that is bluetooth capable and doesn't make that cheesy "POWER ON" or "BLUETOOTH CONNECTED" noise. I am asking for help finding the right thing, so here is a list of the "best" amps I could find and what about them in particular I did not like or made them dealbreakers:

Pyle Home PCAU25A 2 x 40 Watts Mini Power Amplifier with LED Display(https/www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00MIYF1DW/ref=mp_s_a_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1487382147&sr=8-4&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=bluetooth+amplifier&dpPl=1&dpID=51J%2BNUMH1NL&ref=plSrch)
This looks cheesy or kinda cheap and the LED ring is super bright

INSMA New TDA7492P
(https/www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01KFYUVVS/ref=mp_s_a_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1487382147&sr=8-5&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=bluetooth+amplifier)
I actually purchased this one, and the electronic feedback was too much to bare!!!

Grace Digital GDI-BTAR512N
(https/www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B013UCJFSW/ref=mp_s_a_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1487382147&sr=8-8&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=bluetooth+amplifier&dpPl=1&dpID=31pVZUh9SNL&ref=plSrch)
The reviews say there is a "Bluetooth Disconnected" and "Connected" sound that plays every time you connect or disconnect a bluetooth device, and the sound is a FULL VOLUME notification matter what. Also apparently bass and treble knobs mess with the wattage (?)


Yeeco? Hifi Mini Bluetooth Amplifier 50W+50W
(https/www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01IF1XZIO/ref=mp_s_a_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1487382955&sr=8-5&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=yeeco+bluetooth+amplifier&dpPl=1&dpID=51Kx3dXtzZL&ref=plSrch)
Pretty much the exact same problems as the Grace Digital

Pyle PDA35BT
(https/www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B013WW90RG/ref=psdcmw_537344_t2_B01IF1XZIO)
Apparently the bluetooth will just periodically drop, even when the device is in line of sight

And that is basically the most of it...
However, this is the one I a honking shout buying:

Topping Vx3
(https/www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01N1KF5TQ/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1487383277&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=toppings+vx3&dpPl=1&dpID=417vq0yqLmL&ref=plSrch)

The only thing with this amp is that it is 35w per channel....

Please help me out! If you know of a better amp, please tell me. If you know of a enter way to do this, tell me. Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks

The last one is rated at 35 watts per channel at 10% distortion. That is crazy. That means probably about 2.5 watts at 1% distortion. Run away from that amp.

Oof, that hurts to see, but thanks for pointing it out. I probably should have looked up what the "THD+N" rating was, I didn't think anything about it.

I actually emailed the Topping Sales department and asked them about getting an amplifier that was 45w. They replied back pretty fast and informed me that plugging in a power supply rated at 24v 5a would increase the wattage output from 35w per channel to 47w per channel, opposed from a power supply rated at 24v 3a which is what is included. Im actually working on the cabinet with a friend and there were only 2 of those Topping amps left on Amazon so we went ahead and purchased one. If it doesn't work out I am thankful for Amazon's refund policy haha.

That being said, I am still open to different amps and new ideas, I wouldnt mind having a backup plan.

Still, their rated output of 47 watts per channel would still be at 10% distortion, which would really equal approx. 3.5 watts per channel at 1% distortion. RMS. That still does not sound like very much.

 

[MetallicPie]

Doesn't look like very much as in that shouldn't be bad?

Why not get a real stereo receiver

The power rating on these has to be measured and presented according to FTC regulations unlike the little toys you link to. Not even much difference in price.

Hey, that's pretty awesome, the only thing is that is about twice the wattage I need and I think that would be pretty detrimental to my speakers since they are each about 45w RMS
