which speakers should I buy?

I’m looking to buy a speaker or a pair for my newly constructed 2000 sqft patio. 
I am not aware of an audiophile quality wired system for outdoor use. I could be wrong.
Not sure where to start. I’m looking at

Vifa Copenhagen,
B&O Beloit 17
AIWA exos 9
Devialet
Kef lsx

What about those really big JBL powered speakers, I know they’re a bit heavy, but can they sound good? Budget is between 2-3k, but can increase if needed. Is there a way to get close to live concert levels in this price range?

Type of music: classical, classic rock, vocal, jazz

Is this an active speaker ? I prefer not to run any wires out of the house.

I guess power cord is ok. I’d like an active speaker. Quality trumps volume for me. What about these battery driven speakers, vifa B & O etc? Are those horrible ?

Yes, outdoor open space with a house on one side and basically forrest surrounding 2 acres of grass. 
What about JBL professional PA speakers? Also electro voice speakers seem interesting. Would those sound horrible if I’m used to Hi End? 
I would prefer not to use an amp and speaker wire. But will do so if absolutely necessary. I have a few amps and preamps laying around.
