The magic of outdoor listening


I tend to keep one system I can pull outdoors when I am in the mood the freedom from room colorations is an amazing thing. Being outside listening to a great system playing wonderful music is magic. I have a bike race by my home and if the weather is nice many times I'm out jamming I have had large groups of cyclists stop 50 yards from my home to enjoy my music. Last year I has using a giant pair of RCA front horns with a full range in it this year going with a community leviathan system with radial. I pull out a tube amp when I jam outside. When I retire I plan on putting out a permanent outdoor horn system so it is ready to go when I am. Sitting still seated centered in a room all alone is enjoyable at times but also kind of tragic I am happy I have options. Maybe consider the outdoors as one of your listening spaces.

Yep, agree.  My friends, family and myself all have awesome outdoor setups.  Yard work during the morning and day, beers on the deck in the afternoon with music throughout.  My brother uses Klipsch KlF20’s outside, one buddy uses Infinity Beta 50’s, another buddy uses a crown xti 500 with a pair of peavy’s each using 2 15” woofers, and I use Audio Engine A2 with a sub.  

Headphones are great too in order to cancel noise pollution and listen to tunes at the same time.  Key here is to have as many wayd to enjoy tunes as possible.
