Yes, I suppose you are entitled to assume that any device sold In a country is compliant, and that may be not the case. I will get Apple to swop the speaker out (it was purchased at an Apple store) and see if it fixes it. If that does not work, I will change the brand. The continuos aspect of the stream may well be the issue, I don't know enough about BT and its error correction capabilities, it may well have not been designed for this sort of application. The real answer is to use WIFI enabled speakers at 3 times the cost, that will use up WIFI bandwidth so there may be further issues there.

If you try to reconnect with BT on, it does not find any WIFI signal. If you then switch BT off, it will find the WIFI signal and reconnect, BT can then be turned back on and paired with the speaker again and it will run just fine for the next 20-30 minutes or so, before you have to repeat the sequence.

I am presently running some tests with the BT switched on but nothing paired, just in case it's the iPad causing the problem, however this will not totally prove that it's the iPad, because there is no BT frequencies present other than it paging the port (if that's what it does)
