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.

I put my tube amps and source on a rolling stand so I can move it in and out of the garage, same with speakers I make sure it's set up in the shade.

I love my outdoor system, a Marantz 2245 receiver, Adcom GCD575 cd player, with Klipsch KG2's...then the magic starts...I open the big garage bay door and it's open air season for another summer.....

Have EV outdoor speakers on back deck for decades(not years) for the purpose they’re great!

I have a portable battery powered diy system I take to the sandbar when boating in the summer.   Next to the fire, in the open sand, sounds wonderful.    No boundaries, no reflections is great place to listen.
