A real "wake up call" available to most....High End Audio vs. Mainstream......


Obviously you are familiar with AudiogoN and, likely, have a decent system.  I have known this, but a great visual on what most people use for sound reproduction is a Craigslist in you area.  If you have one or more market Craigslist available,  check out what is for sale for "sound reproduction" on those sites.   I thought I knew how bad it was, but it was beyond my imagination.  But I guess that is the way it is with many things Americans buy to make noise, drive or eat at.  Locally it is all under "electronics".  ebay is somewhat better, but still a great deal more items you would not want vs.  those you would. 

In music, electronics, cars and so much more....."the road less traveled" is the best path.  The poem is actually "the road not taken".

Jacksky, I have a friend that uses the JBL Bluetooth speaker outside. They broadcast very well and have desired volume.
I have used 2-way book shelf with 70-100wpc integrateds which provide greater body and soundstaging. The bass one perceives is that coming from the speaker, lacks room boundary reinforcement.  With many recording it can be more refined.
Yes jjss49 it is. Also it is interesting to hear speakers outside without room boundaries.  Do need somewhat more power than that required for a listening room however.  
Yes! For me it is a listening session. I get fully engaged. I have a 2nd system that I roll out onto my back deck spring through fall months to have sessions outside.  I have a porch swing so swinging to the music in included in the activity. Along with beverage.
