The magic of outdoor listening


I tend to keep one system I can pull outdoors when I am in the mood the freedom from room colorations is an amazing thing. Being outside listening to a great system playing wonderful music is magic. I have a bike race by my home and if the weather is nice many times I'm out jamming I have had large groups of cyclists stop 50 yards from my home to enjoy my music. Last year I has using a giant pair of RCA front horns with a full range in it this year going with a community leviathan system with radial. I pull out a tube amp when I jam outside. When I retire I plan on putting out a permanent outdoor horn system so it is ready to go when I am. Sitting still seated centered in a room all alone is enjoyable at times but also kind of tragic I am happy I have options. Maybe consider the outdoors as one of your listening spaces.

Headphones are great too in order to cancel noise pollution and listen to tunes at the same time.  Key here is to have as many wayd to enjoy tunes as possible.

for party Meyer sound are the most pricey outdoor speakers, but probably one of few brands able to deliver great quality outdoor sound.

Backyard and garage are wired to the system in the family room through a switch box and volume controls in each location.

Paradigm outdoor speakers in both locations sound really nice but I'm sure doesn't compare to what the OP is referring to with pulling a nice system outdoors.

With that said the music outdoors when the weather is nice is very enjoyable.

 

You can’t beat sitting on your deck or patio listening to tunes with a glass of wine in your hand.  I live in a Seattle suburb and am fortunate enough to be surrounded by a lush green belt. I use a Harmon Kardon Onyx 4 bluetooth speaker for my outdoor listening. It’s not audiophile quality, but decent enough and portable as well. It accompanies me on every road trip.
