I’m quite blessed to have a very large private back yard (1/3 of an acre) north of LA with a beautiful pool and my wife and I love nothing more than spending most of our time in the back yard sipping wine just outside the main family room and lounging in the pool on weekends for hours. I used to bring my Marshall blue tooth speaker outside and now with my recent purchase of legacy XDs with Wavelet v2, I’m able to open the double French doors and wood windows and turn the system up to around 65 to 70 and have amazing sound that easily fills the back yard. The Wavelet with Roon on my iPhone I can control playlist and volume while floating in pool with my wife and wine. I could not have found a better sound system for the price with the Legacy XDs and Wavelet. I have Roon running on a MAC mini.
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.
