Not sure if this is a real thing or a fully fleshed out thought (lemmy.world)

I am looking for speakers, decent quality and nice looking that doesn't stand out too much. I want it on a bookshelf in the kitchen and another in the sitting room.

I want it to connect to a home server but also Spotify/streaming. And I'd like them to link together.

Basically I want the house listening experience to be seamless when going between different rooms, 2-4 speakers. Audiobooks and some music would be stored on a Nas and most music and podcasts would be Spotify.

I'd prefer to interact with it through my phone, Android if possible but not completely necessary.

In my head I imagine walking into a new room and tapping the speaker with my phone to switch to that speaker.

Is this a real thing?

You're basically describing Sonos.

It's expensive and a wallet garden, but it works well. I splurged on my Sonos system and am happy with it.

I can have my tv going in my living room, go push the button on the speaker in my bathroom and keep up on the show while I poop.

Sonos is a great turnkey option, but a bit pricey and closed. There are a couple other ecosystem options (HEOS from Yamaha, BluOS enabled by a bunch of different brands, etc), but they tend to also be a bit expensive. For a cheaper option, check out powered monitor speakers (Edifier have gotten good reviews) paired with WiiM mini or pro depending on your budget. With WiiMs are pretty easy to link together and they are pretty inexpensive for what they do.
