Outdoor amp

[ARES24]

I am looking for ideas for an amp to power my outdoor speakers. I would like something that I can power my 'zone 2' from my receiver and be able to be controlled via wireless device.

I have looked at this device. Are there any other options that i should look at before going this route. I am thinking that an amp controlled via WiFi might be advantageous...

Help?

FYI, this unit my be required to survive a Canadian winter...

I would think this one would handle the elements better. But dunno about the specs and if it will do other stuff you want.

Dunno, but that "4 X 5 watts peak power" spec would put me off.

This marine amplifier looks promising, but it doesn't have wifi capabilities. Wouldn't that be handled by your primary receiver as the source for Zone 2 though? Or are you looking to be able to power the amp off and on wirelessly?

Why cannot you use the Denon to power them? Which speakers are you using and how far are they located?

I cannot use the denon to power them, the amp assign speaker jacks are used for the back speakers in the HT.

I used to use the zone 2 pre outs from the denon to source for an external amp. That amp has become unreliable.

I was thinking to replace it with something that was a bit easier to use (wife and kids). Maybe I am stuck with a simple amp and better wifi coverage! (preferrably something that isn't always powered)

Just replace this amp because...

The Denon can be controlled over WiFi using the free app. Have you tried this? Depending on your signal, you may just need a WiFi extender outside.

Cool, the Denon remote app says my receiver isn't compatible....

I can control it from the device web page though.
