Suggestions for speakers, etc. for announcements

We used to try to get cheap Fabriq speakers to work on HE ...they never really did well. I'd like a non-Sonos HE speaker for a few spots.

Fabriq Speakers

How are these speakers? I want to harness DLNA for TTS. I currently have an echo dot and using virtual contact sensors to do TTS. I would rather much get true TTS. I have used echo speaks in the past but I’d like to avoid this. Do these speakers respond to voice commands or do they require button presses to kick off Alexa?
