I Currently have a set of outdoor speakers in an enclosed porch wired to a zone on my whole-house audio setup. I’d like to add another set of outdoor speakers outside the porch so we can listen on the outdoor patio when we’re out there as well. However, I don’t want to have to run a new set of speaker wires all the way back into the house to connect to my amp - that would entail major surgery and is more than I want to take on. I don’t need the new patio zone to be on the same amp, so I thought about somehow getting a small Sonos amp or something similar and hiding it away on the porch, but it would still be somewhat exposed to the elements so I dont know if that would be a good solution unless I can somehow weather proof the amp. The ideal thing would be if Sonos or Bluesound made a set of active outdoor speakers, but that doesn’t seem to be the case right now. If worst comes to worst, I can always just get the best portable Bluetooth speaker I can find but was hoping for a better solution. Does anyone have other suggestions? This is just casual listening around a fire pit so I don’t want to spend stupid money or do major surgery to the house but it would be nice to hear some music out there.
