Dane: I had heard about this speaker (was looking for something that was portable) figured this would serve my purposes (and it does) I tried a speaker called the Soundpod (not a bad speaker...but no stereo sound! So I had heard about this JBL model and decided to try it! So now if they ever do make the Victor Stream Blue Tooth compatible, I'll be all set! Tom Kaufman

Why did you buy this JBL model if the victor Reader stream doesn't have Bluetooth? I mean you could get far cheaper solutions with an Aux-in and without blue tooth.
