That's true, it's not cheap. But I have a bunch of them in the house which work great as speakers, but I have trouble integrating them properly in Home Assistant. And there are hardly any alternatives in the same form factor.

I had some trouble with them working with HA too, but a while back started running Lyrion Media Server as the backbone to all my local music streaming. Since then, they've all been pretty bulletproof (using the Lyrion/Squeezelite HA integration for all speakers, and no longer piecing together the integrations for the individual speaker types). YMMV, but FYI.
