If someone really wants to solve this issue, they should create a Raspberry Pi Speaker. Maybe a simple pi Zero would be a good start to keep it super small.

I wonder how hard this would be. I came across this [0], but don't know anything about it, and the only thing I ever added to a Pi is the camera.

Well, too small does not sound to good. I fiddled around with Boxsim [0] and for a Visaton FRS7 [1] I got a box volume of approx 2 litres. Driven by a HifiBerry MiniAmp [2] with bass reflex tube this sounds surprisingly well. Software is raspian buster with mpd and upmpdcli.
