I recently put in a receiver (VSSL A.6) that connects with some wired speakers I had installed in my home. The VSSL system interfaces with Google Home so each room is a separate speaker/zone on the app. Groups of speakers can be created. I can "cast" to these speakers from just about any audio app on my phone. Works great.
Now, I want to put music in other rooms that don't have speakers. However I don't want to be installing new wired speakers in my wall. I'm looking for speakers that connect with my WiFi network and are compatible with Google Home in the same way, i.e. they are recognized as Google Home compatible, found as an audio device in the app, and can be added as a new speaker/zone. End goal being that I can group the WiFi speaker with my other speakers and play audio in my whole home.
However, I can't seem to find any speakers that meet these characteristics:

However, I can't seem to find any speakers that meet these characteristics:
Required:
- Connects to my WiFi and seen/can be added by Google Home (I think anything that is Google Cast or Chromecast enabled should work?)
- Does NOT need its own proprietary app to run music through (an app that I need to download just to configure the speaker is fine)
- I do NOT need it to be a smart speaker, I don't need it to listen to my commands, I just want to extend my home audio coverage.
- Can be paired with another of its kind to create stereo (or comes with two by default)
- Decent quality (doesn't need to be audiophile-level)
