Best Bluetooth Transmitter for Vintage McIntosh?

I want to stream music to [wireless] Bluetooth enabled speakers from my McIntosh 4300V receiver, but I am overwhelmed with researching this whole thing.  I have looked at Etekcity, Avantree, Miccus, APTX HD, Esinkin, and Aluratek, but the emphasis is is always on Home Theater, Cell Phone, or other devices.  Can someone tell me what is the very BEST transmitter I should buy and what output jacks to hook it up to.  I would rather not use the headphone jack, if possible.  Using the headphone jack requires an adapter and I would rather go with RCA phono jacks from the back of the receiver.  Top quality vintage MAC equipment demands the very finest available wouldn't everyone agree?

sonicjoy, my audioengine goes much further than that.  They claim up to 100 feet and I agree.
Submariner-normally I would say that most of your effort for quality is limited by using bluetooth, which is actually ok.  The real limitation is XM.  In my humble opinion XM is worse than any mp3 I've ever heard.  Try streaming from internet, radio or HD radio and enjoy the difference.
