In ceiling speaker questions

My house came with these in multiple rooms. I am guessing they are over 20 years old. We really only use the kitchen ones and play them generally at the same time as our 4 patio speakers, as those are the only two rooms where we listen to music. I am curious about changing the ones in the kitchen to something newer. Questions:
Are these replaced from within the room or must one go into the attic to do it?
How difficult is this?
Any recommendations as far as brand/model?

I'd just pretend they're not there. The control techniques for individual rooms through an amp was never wife friendly, not matter what brand I used up through about 2016. Just dropped Sonos (now I use Denon) smart speakers where I needed them.

It's just that I control the music way more than she does and we are both somewhat used to just telling our various machine to "Play music on____________ speaker" and it just working. I also cast from my Youtube music app to my Wiim almost every day.

This century, we still use ancient ceiling audio tech. Check if the speakers are DVC. AMPs are super cheap used but $1000+ new. Pretty easy to hack together a cool system but even Echo premium or studio has better mono/room sound than a universal ceiling setup.

Looking to get rid of any Sonos stuff?

I was just considering this same question. Also, I have vaulted ceilings. How do get rid of the ugly arse recessed light eyeballs that allow the floods to light the room? Godz I hate those. I just want to take them all out, install custom ceiling mouldings with ambient lighting from behind them, but wtf do you do when the power supply blows or the LED strip stops working?
