i have a tube amp currently for music and wanted to avoid using the tubes when i just listen to spoken audio, like a tutorial or audiobook/podcast. was looking at amps like the audioengine n22 and use an amp switch to go back and forth when necessary.

bluetooth functionality would be great but not required.

I've been using these Sony Bluetooth speakers for almost a year now. They're fantastically convenient. Two can be paired into a stereo combination controlled from a single source (my Samsung Galaxy most often). The bass coming from these tiny speakers is unbelievable. I use them while cooking and for many other things, too. They're even somewhat water-proof. Obviously, the amp is built-in with the Bluetooth circuitry. They recharge with common phone chargers.

Of course, if you already have speakers, they would become superfluous. I've found these so convenient it may not matter, however.

Schiit Audio make cool stuff - but just check the desktop amps on Ali Express - much cheaper and you'll find Bluetooth versions no problem
