Bluetooth speakers

I Have a cheap mini anker Bluetooth speaker and whilst it’s ok it’s not great, I want better quality audio and I want it in stereo, can somebody recommend a Bluetooth speaker set up that can give me true stereo rather than just 2 speakers paired blasting out identical sound

I don’t have a budget but I would like it to cost less than £150 if possible although I’m willing to look at all options

Edifier 1750/1850DB at this price range.

Sorry I should have said portable Bluetooth speakers

I was going to suggest Wharfedale DS-2 because they have AptX Bluetooth, but they're over budget and mains only.

Cambridge Audio YOYO M perhaps?

TBH, I thought true stereo, and battery powered, and decent quality sound was too much of an ask at £150. Simply having to double up on everything to make a stereo pair is a huge challenge for a production budget.

The BT speaker market is crowded, and the requirement for a portable stereo pair is both very niche and makes any product hellishly expensive in a cutthroat market. That probably explains why the CA YOYO M is reduced from £299 to £129. It hasn't sold in the required numbers to become a viable product. Good news for you then. Grab a pair while they're still available!

Those Yoyo m’s look good but I’ve ordered 2x soundcore flare mini’s , £55 for the pair from amazon , If they’re rubbish I’ll send them back. Tbh though they should be much better than my current single soundcore mini
