I'm using a trusty Logitech Squeezebox boom for music streaming, which these days is mostly radio. A decent sounding bluetooth speaker would be great for workouts in the garage or tinkering sessions.
Most of my listening takes place in the spot from which this photo was taken. The iPhone cable represents the other location, i.e. my phone when out walking. The homebuilt PC on the right has a Xonar Essence audiophile soundcard which delivers excellent sound to the sennheiser headphones (which are a bit worse for wear and probably due for replacement). If I want to disturb the whole house there is a Logitech sound system, a couple of whose components are visible in the background.
Some movie watching takes place here too, but I can also stream from a mediacenter (not the NAS in the photo but a newer one out of camera shot) to a Bravia TV in the lounge, which is wired into the same network.
A detached sound source would be useful for working in the garage or garden - when currently my phone is prone to falling out of whichever pocket it has been tucked into.

So here is an image of my system
It used to be my daughters.
It sucks!
If you touch the volume knob it goes dead.
The stations wander of frequency.
One channel of the stereo doesn't work so I have to wire it for mono.
And it doesn't get RNZ National!!!
So I really need this device to bluetooth connect my tablet and stream RNZ National and my music.

Currently have parts of a SONOS system.
Here's a terribly dark moody shot of the beautifully balanced and crafted SUB... can balance a coin on that at full noise if you felt like it
Bloody great around the house, the kids grab a Play 1 and take to their room for their noise.
But not being waterproof they are no good to take out on the deck of a lovely evening, get completely sloshed and forget to bring in before the morning dew or other moist Wellington weather system hits.
This charming little Fugoo Bluetooth speaker boasts quite a bit of boom and is waterproof :-) ... Noice!

Self designed and built tower base reflex speakers which I based on Fibonacci rules each containing 20kg of sand in the base powered by a pair of renovated 1952 Quad II monoblocks. Source is a Logitech Squeezebox linked to a RAID NAS containing my FLAC music collection.

In our house we use the Amazon Echo or the stereo to listen to music.
For streaming to the stereo we have an Apple TV 3, for movie streaming (and streaming of various TV channels) we have the Apple TV 4.
There is also a Freeview box, but we never use it.
The stereo is a Denon AVR-1911 with KEF-C25 as the main speakers, a Dali center speaker, a Dali subwoofer and a couple of small Denon speakers as the back speakers for the surround.
