Anyone got a quad or surround setup for their garden (or 'yard' for the North Americans)? Please post your setup.
Summer is coming up down under and I've been doing some landscaping out the back and wondering if I could incorporate surround music outside (I have a BBQ area and small heated pool, 6 x 3m, which gets a fair thrashing for about 6 months).
I have a spare surround amp (Pioneer LX series) with HDMI inputs and I currently use an Intel NUC as a media player in my main system (which has two HDMI outputs, currently one used for my existing main 5.1 system with 2nd HDMI a spare) with all my surround media digitised. So It should not be too expensive to add new outdoor speakers, including el cheapo cabling.
Any recommendations for outdoor speakers?
Does anyone make a small weather proof multichannel receiver that handles high res FLAC? (Then I could maybe set up the amp outside, just run an HDMI cable).
I'd appreciate any input from anyone with experience doing something similar.
