Speakers for the deck- okay to discuss here?

You’re unlikely to get a palpable soundstage with speakers out on the deck so I think a set of those composite JBLs will work fine. Also, you won’t need to make an appointment with a "By Appointment Only" audio salon, just drop into any Best Buy to pick them out. I recommend adding a SiriusXM radio subscription.

Yes, you can always start a discussion about speakers on this Forum, as long as it doesn’t include anything about politics!

and certainly not of our Speaker of the House (of Representatives:)

JBL Flip vs charge? Has anyone done a comparison?

I have a pair of JBL Flips and my dad has a pair of the JBL Charges. The flip is more compact and the pair does nice for background music on our smaller patio. The Charge is slightly larger and works better for my Dads larger outdoor area. The sound from the charge is more full with better bass response for sure. I don’t miss anything necessarily when I use my Flips but the charges are definitely a worthwhile upgrade. Both models sound shockingly good for the size and the cost in my opinion.

Thanks
