The magic of outdoor listening

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.

I’ve a cluster of 4 silos across from my patio that I’m considering turning into subwoofer systems. Basically adding 2 or 3 large bass drivers to the silo doors. I’d then take my old Valencias outdoors or maybe pickup some larger horns. A projector screen and it would be perfect for movie nights in the VA summer.

I love listening to music outdoors while I get rid of my tan lines....

Pyle bluetooth outdoor speakers outside on deck under the eves...good enough for me. Rock speakers out back near woodline and gazebo. I would not say they compate in any way to a good indoor sound system, not even close. The room reinforces the sound.
