Before you think about these speakers more, you're going to want to find out the brand & do some research, as well as listen to them with a variety of music, at all levels.
I'm a big fan of Chromecasts for music since you can easily create speaker groups and you don't have to "pair" to them, which makes it easy for guests to use. Unfortunately Google discontinued the Chromecast Audio, so you'd have to find speakers with them built in. It looks like there might be at least one similar device but I haven't tested it.
I also haven't tried any Sonos stuff, but I know lots of people like & recommend it.
I know you said you want to stay wireless but you might check out the Monoprice 6 Zone Amp (you can link them together for more zones, if needed). We installed one in my friend's place during a remodel and it's awesome. There's a Chromecast Audio plugged into it, as well as a receiver, an aux-cord and it's cross-linked to the surround sound in their den. This let's them play any of the inputs in any (or all) of the zones, each with their own volume control, via the included keypads.
Plus, the Monoprice amp has rs-232 control, allowing you to tie it into a home automation system.
If you don't have the chromcast audios already, look into AudioCast

I have a few set up as Generic DNLA speakers (custom ST device handler). They work very well so far, but still trying to figure out how I can make them pause any media that's playing to make a text-to-speech announcement and then resume playing. Right now they just pause any music, make the announcement and remain paused.
I use it like this (with WebCORE): power to speakers is controlled by a sonoff, if the speaker status changes to 'playing', trigger sonoff to turn the Speaker Power on, if status changes to 'stopped' wait 1 minute and trigger sonoff to turn Speaker Power off.
Wow Thanks for explaining all that to me. My main use is connecting an AUX cable that comes from my WiFi music adapter https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06WRSXVBR/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_c_api_i_xD2YCb2XPKMBC
I will have volume control from my phone as well as the tuner itself
It's not AFTV device, but I've bought like 7 of these Audiocast pucks from Amazon exclusively for multi room music. I've given some away to other music lovers & they love the device too.
I've got one in my master bath, kitchen, garage, office, media room and the audio sync is perfect. They've made improvements to it because a year ago, whatever was the main device would cut out like it wasn't getting a clean audio stream/signal & it had to be power cycled in order to stabilize, but I've not had to do that in awhile.
You do have to use the app to set it up, but after that you can use any app that supports UPnP to cast to it (I use BubbleUPnP). I wish I could cast from an AFTV or chrome browser to it if I wanted to listen to a podcast or something from Plex, etc.
I use a cheap chinese ripoff coz it supports both google and Apple airplay:
