Yep that's absolutely right.
The Bluetooth pairng is convenient though and I like the idea of being
able to stream to and from the Dot.
Actually the stereo line-ount connection makes the Dot incredibly
flexible, suppose you have an iPhone or something similar, you can
stream to the Dot and output that to a pair of wired stereo speakers.
I prefer the buttons for volume control rather than having the ring
around the top of the device as the Echo does.

I would think having the Echo Dot would mean looking at a good set of
wired stereo speakers or a wired connection to a stereo receiver or
amp. The blue tooth is nice, but one big advantage to the Dot is
being able to get a stereo signal.

Subject: Echo Dot Paired To Bluetooth Speakers/Headphones
Something nice I noticed when I paired my Amazon Echo Dot to my B&W T7
bluetooth speaker.
I can easily ski backwards and forwards between tracks using the
Transport buttons so if your Bluetooth device does have transport
buttons then you’ll most likely to be able to use these along with
Voice commands and so on.
Now that I have my Amazon Echo Dot here its given me incentive to take
a look at the new B&W
Zeppelin <http://www.whathifi.com/bw/zeppelin-wireless/review>
wireless speaker which has both Bluetooth and AirPlay.
