Outdoor Patio speaker / Amp Setup - Sonance?
Posted on 5/10/21 at 8:23 pm
Posted on 5/10/21 at 8:23 pm
I’m in the process of building an outdoor kitchen, and my JBL charge speaker just bit the dusk.
Now I’m exploring different options. I’m intrigued by the Sonance Outdoor speaker/amp setup.
LINK
I don’t necessarily have a big need to move around with a Bluetooth speaker, but I’d be open to other options.
I currently don’t have any sort of AV receiver/amp, but my house is wired with ~8 in-ceiling through out the house. I don’t think they are high quality, but I wouldn’t mind connecting them to the amp via a speaker zone switch. 90% of the use would be outside, but the option would be nice.
I never owned any Sonos equipment, but the “ease of use” intrigues me. I could see myself slowly adding more equipment overtime.
Any advice / recommendations ?

For less than that you could get a pair of sonos moves

Thanks… In your opinion would I get better sound quality from x2 Sonos Moves?

I have only read reviews of them, but they are overwhelming glowing.
I am going to get a pair soon for my patio. They sell lots of different mounts to be able to hang them wherever you like. Another benefit is you can take them with you wherever you want. They also have google assistant and Alexa built in (if you have other smart stuff).

So I’m liking this idea for sure, the only concern I have is the easy to hook up to my outside tv for audio.
It looks like with the Move, I’m limited to only being able to connect via Bluetooth. I’m pretty sure my older outdoor tv doesn’t support that.
My outdoor tv isn’t a “smart tv”, but it looks like most the common streaming devices allow for Bluetooth speaker pairing.

I have a sound bar outside and it works great. Connects Bluetooth and to TVs. Since U seem to have the budget, I suggest having two TVs so you can watch 2 things at once. (Sound bar can connect to both also if you get one with the right inputs) Pic

Sonance makes a fine product. When I did home systems I installed quite a bit of Sonance.

x2 TVS / Soundbar
Where it's going to really make since to mount the TV isn't super protected (under a shallow eve / overhang). I plan to either get a enclosure to hand on the brick wall or just go with a TV cover to protect it.
I really don't want to clutter the area with more than x1 tv as well. Although I give you props on that setup of yours!

Thx. That pic is my son watching Kobe’s last game and the warriors breaking the record on season wins. I’ve moved since then and have this set up, just embarrassed by the pic because of me not hiding the wires first!???? LINK

im thinking about getting an old 2zon amp and using 2 chromecasts one for each zone, to cast music to via yt music or spotify. and i should he able to group them to play to both.
too back they discontinued the Chromecast audio. I wish i hd bought a ton of them because they would be prefect to do this around the house.

So the more I think about it, I’m leaning towards the x2 Sonos moves (probably grab just x1 to start).
I’m thinking the mobility probably outweighs the ease of use and future expansion with the amp and outdoor speaker setup.
Only question I have is sound quality between the x2 setups.

I have a move and a 5 and there is a huge difference in the sound quality in favor of the 5. I also have two of the new songs amps connected to passive speakers which is also another big upgrade in quality.

Love the Sonos Move, have one, great for the house, yard, and its easly the best beach speaker for its size I've ever used.
However, if their primary location is outdoor and mounted, for the same price as 2 moves I would buy 2 Ones and mount those, and 1 move and keep it inside. The 2 Ones would provide good sound outside, the move would add another Sonos zone to your house, and you could just bring the move outside when you need more sound out there.

This is my worry. I was hopping x2 moves would have similar sound quality at x2 quality amp driven outdoor speakers. This would make my decision much easier.
