iPhone with AirPlay and non-AirPlay speakers at the same time?

Hi, I'm interested in an external speaker that doesn't support AirPlay, but does support Bluetooth and a cable connection. It's the Marshall Acton III, but the question is transferable to other devices with comparable technology. Is it possible to connect the iPhone to the non-AirPlay-enabled speaker and control one or more AirPlay-enabled speakers at the same time?

No, audio from an iPhone can only go to one device at a time. There are Bluetooth hubs that support multiple devices with one Bluetooth connection.

Not sure what you mean. Audio from an iPhone can go to multiple devices simultaneously via AirPlay. Can I combine AirPlay and wired audio out simultaneously?

The answer is still no, you can't do that.
