I have been developing a new compact stick-on Bluetooth True Wireless Stereo (TWS) amp for passive speakers. It lets you turn any set of passive speakers into an instant streaming solution to have music anywhere in your home, workshop, garage, pool, picnic, etc.
Each amp just needs a local power outlet from the wall or can be battery powered. The amps connect and are paired to each other wirelessly for stereo left and right with a single Bluetooth connection.
The wireless connection to your smartphone, tablet, computer, etc. works instantly and easily for frustration-free Bluetooth 5.0 quality sound. Successful connections are confirmed with a quick tone (no annoying voice) and LED blink from the light pipe indicator at the “eye” of the letter “i” in the word “Link”.
Internally, the Bluetooth RF modules are capable of Bluetooth 5.0 standard (345 kbps max bit rate) and has terrific range and reliability. The Class D amps (TPA3116 based) driven by the Bluetooth RF modules are capable of 50W into 4ohms and 25W into 8ohms, and are wired in parallel bridge tied load (PBTL) so can actually handle 2ohm loads. The amps come with dual 24v 3A desktop universal voltage SMPS modules. Optional low profile 12v 2A wallwart style SMPS (in white) are also available for minimal visual footprint when used along side of decorator furnishings and significant-other-sensitive interior spaces. Even at 12v, 83dB sensitive speakers play plenty loud and clean for most home uses. The sound quality is excellent and the simplicity of it all is fantastic.
Here the Vera-Link is seen attached to the back of the Vanguard speaker:
Here is a nice clean no mess speaker installation in my upstairs bedroom. The white power cables and wallwart blend in very well. All you need are speakers and some stands. You can drive it from your smartphone (which is how most of us listen to music nowadays in my house):
Here is the 24v 3A desktop power supply (two are provided with set):
This is the 12v 2A wallwart power supply (USA and EU plugs available) in white:
The Vera-Link amp kit will sell for $199 a pair complete with 24v 3A power supplies and high quality gold plated banana plugs. The amps come with hook-loop strips with self adhesive for installation to any speaker. 5 unique Vera-Link amp pair Bluetooth names will be available so that you can have multiple sets in one household without confusion.

Hey X , I know you linked a review of these previously but can't seem to find it - would you mind posting the link here?
No worries. I like to save the first post as I go along before finalizing it. It prevents loss of work if something goes wrong with browser during editing.
BT 5.0 standard says latency is about 20msec and worst case is 34msec. I think that’s pretty good.
I connected the Vers-Link to my new Vanguard Scout speakers - brand new XO just developed and voicing sounds great. The amp rocks on this little speaker. Even with the 12v PSU’s they played more than loud enough.
Another review of the Vera-Link just came out. I didn’t know they could power Magnepan LRS+ planars well. I suppose the parallel BTL topology makes it able to drive 2ohm loads easily.

Hi N Brock,
Thanks for giving them a try. I’m quite sure you will love them. I am listening to them now in my bedroom setup with the new Vanguard Scout speakers.
The amp on top of the cabinet is not being used.
It’s really handy to just connect with your phone as the music player / remote / streaming device.
We plan to sell the Vera-Link amps and the Vanguard Scout speakers together as a bundle for $499. It’s a great deal for beautiful set of rosewood veneer speakers with a premium crossover and the Vera-Link amps. Basically, all you need for some excellent and convenient music anywhere in your home with no messy wires or a rack of audio equipment.

New laser engraved champagne anodized badges just arrived. These are much more robust and immune to abrasion. They also look great.
You can how they look depending on the view angle here:
