If you're in the market for speakers, trying to find ones without "bluetooth" or "Alexa" support is just as difficult. I ended up buying speakers built for computers because they were simple and dumb and just played sound.

well, there's plenty of passive speakers which you can hook up to any amplifier from the last 50 years.

I don't quite follow the problems with having bluetooth support. Could you please elaborate?

Not OC, but I guess that if you're using Bluetooth, you depend on whatever DAC they've put onto the speaker, which may or may not be good enough for your taste.
