Not sure if this is a real thing or a fully fleshed out thought (lemmy.world)

I am looking for speakers, decent quality and nice looking that doesn't stand out too much. I want it on a bookshelf in the kitchen and another in the sitting room.

I want it to connect to a home server but also Spotify/streaming. And I'd like them to link together.

Basically I want the house listening experience to be seamless when going between different rooms, 2-4 speakers. Audiobooks and some music would be stored on a Nas and most music and podcasts would be Spotify.

I'd prefer to interact with it through my phone, Android if possible but not completely necessary.

In my head I imagine walking into a new room and tapping the speaker with my phone to switch to that speaker.

Is this a real thing?

I doubt I can with the ceiling speakers, what are the other options?

I'm a small bit sold on the Bluetooth speakers for parties, guests, occasional portability etc.

I think having them built in could go against me in years to come as tech improves etc. I'd also like a shower speaker in the network too.

Maybe I'm being too picky.

I got Sonos and it works really well, but that might be Apple specific. I don’t even consider them expensive, since the low end ones sound much better than a voice assistant for not much more …. And they have portable models that are just part of the networks and sounds great in the bathroom over the shower.

I suppose it depends on what you consider good quality though, since they jump in price a lot as you go up a level
