We have a bunch of Google Home Minis around the house, we only use them as speakers.. not interested in voice assistants.

I thought there would be more options online for wifi enabled speakers, but aside from the extremely expensive options or the Dio Node theres basically nothing.

I'm currently considering just a used multichannel amplifier and DSP off ebay that I can cast audio over wifi to one of the inputs, then route using an interface on HA. So far thats the cheapest (and most complicated) solution I can come up with.

So, what do you do? I dont have the budget for Sonos.... at all.
