I'm trying to balance the things I want and use reasonable restraint.

I'm going with onkyo TX535 receiver which will sit in the master bedroom along with the cable box. the TV is mounted on the opposite side of the wall on the patio. The HDMI, speaker wire, and IR extender cables are run the through the wall.

I went with two pairs of Polk outdoor speakers which will be mounted on two major sections of the patio and also connected to the receiver.

I have some airplay devices for music. I wouldn't put a tv on my patio, why ruin the outside with tv?

32" TV and a wireless uverse box. If I want music, I have speakers powered by the second channel of my surround sound receiver.

During football season, my firepit burns every weekend. No where else I'd rather watch a game.

Have a 46" TV and wireless uverse box to bring out when it is time for games.

Otherwise, have two ceiling speakers and Sonos for the patio.

Damn I'm weak. I just bring my phone outside with me and play music on Pandora when I'm outside.

Step up man and put that phone in a cup. It amplifies the sound.

I do use one of these from time to time. Surprising how loud this thing actually gets for being like $20.

I use Polk Atrium speakers wired from a receiver that's in the garage.

Yes the atrium are what I went with. Tested a bunch of outdoor speakers at the Frys showroom and these sounded great for the price.

I just have music out at the pool. Two Niles planter speakers and two pairs of Niles OS6. Driven by a home automation system. Sources are iPod, Pandora and XM.
