What are people hooking up to their HAVpe's for good sounding speakers? Obviously Big brands like Bose kill it, but any cheap alternatives with good sound for whole house audio?

I have refused to purchase one, hoping a better speaker comes out as I have several rooms to replace google devices in.

I have seen cheap external computer speakers suggested several times, you can often find them dirt cheap at second hand and surplus stores.

If you have Google Nest Minis to replace: There is a project on GitHub which plans to replace the main PCB in these devices (Gen 1 and Gen 2) and make them usable e.g. for Home Assistant.

Can I ask why you refuse? It's a decent quality product and supports (at least in my opinion) the efforts of an ethical company
