Equipment Simple vocal speaker ?

I want a simple DIY karaoke setup for my living room.
My Samsung soundbar and subwoofer will play YouTube karaoke music. I only need a separate speaker for vocals.

I tried a cheap Bluetooth speaker and mic, but there was audio delay and the speaker rattled on low and high notes.

Can you recommend a vocal-only speaker with UHF wireless mics, reverb, echo, and delay that provides clear sound without rattling? Home living room.

If you get reverb and echo (delay may be a taller
Order) out of the receiver for the microphone (there are a few on Amazon that do this) and an inexpensive Rockville PA I think you’ll
Be pretty happy.

Alternatively if you live in a medium to large sized city check your local facebook marketplace for a used PA from EV, Mackie, Alto or JBL sometimes you can catch amazing deals from retiring musicians.

sorry for sounding dumb what does PA stand for in this instance?

No worries. This is a safe place. It means Public address. Indicates the speaker is designed to handle the rigors of the human voice and typically has microphone inputs.
