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?

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.

I have some gen 1 devices but at this point the hardware probably is worth replacing I think the mics are going bad on a few I have.

There are 3rd parties that appear to be working on the LACK of music quality speaker with alternatives to the voice only PE.
