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!!!

The audioengine speaker line up looks good as suggested by leemaze!! I have never actually heard them but they seem to be a great option/choice. I have a Bluesound Node2 streamer which additionally connects to my NAS and I really like it, but never tried their speakers.

Thanks for the suggestions.  I’m debating the built in ceiling speakers now. I was close to installing and wiring to my Denon home theater, but I fear the sound will be terrible and I’m better off with a stand-alone BT speaker on the shelf.

If you decide on ceiling speakers check out Atlantic Technology. I use them in my office system and they are excellent. Tweeters are adjustable.

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

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

Installing a back box helps a great deal.
