Help me avoid sonos, please

Doing a kitchen remodel and have the opportunity to do built in speakers.  I only care about the 2 speakers I’ll have in the kitchen and potentially running 2 more to our deck.  I’d like to use Google Assistant to basically run Spotify.  

I’d like to be $500-$800.  

Would love any advice to get me decent sound.

thanks to anyone that can help me out!!!

Take a look at audiopro.

I have the little battery powered one for traveling and it sounds great.

They are a Swedish company, not very well know here, but most of their products are very well reviewed online. 

Maybe a few of these?

Another Option would be a couple pairs of these AudioEngine speakers and pop a Chromecast Audio dongle on the back.  They have USB power built-in.

I gave this exact set-up as a gift to friend - they sound great.  Stereophile recommended product as well.

This would be cool because you could control them with Voice Control.  They even come with a remote!

Music never sounds right coming out of the ceiling above IMHO. 

Put a pretty powered speaker(s) on a shelf.
