Help adding outddor speakers to current setup

No, leave your existing system alone.

If you have a pair of speakers that you'd like to install outside (or anywhere else) then go buy a Power Node which is the same as your Node but has amplification built in.

If you don't have speakers to install outside (or anywhere else) take a look at Bluesounds powered speakers (There's 3 of them) to place around the house. They don't have an outdoor rated speaker so whatever you do for the outside you'll have to pay attention to the weather.

So it seems I can add some bluesound pulse speakers right to my NODE 2 and everything will sync...

stringgreen: i emailed the people over at Riva to see what their suggestion would be...

erik squires: so hook up the NAD to the Primaluna and then connect new speakers to the NAD? So would only play on one set of speakers - the NAD speakers or Totems, not both?

johnk: sounds interesting, but im confused on how to do this...will research more what your saying...

sunshdw: so replace the bluesound node 2 with the power node and that will stream to my totems and a bluesound compatablie portable speaker?

Blue Sound Power Node if you want to add speakers or use their powered wireless speakers. All zones controlled through your app

There is a much better way.....Check out what Michael Fremmer says about Riva Audio on Analog Planet.  If I didn't have wired speakers throughout the house and pool, I'd surely do the Riva.

It’s called Sonos. :)

If you insist on running from your PrimaLuna, I suggest you take the outputs of the preamp section, and run it into a separate amp, such as a little Parasound Zamp, or even something like the NAD D 3020, which is a very nice sounding Class D integrated.

Run a portable powered wireless speaker and stream music.                For outdoors I run a el34 tube amp modwright sacd and giant RCA MI front horns its amazing but I am a bit crazy. I have all on rollers so I can pull outside if weather nice.
