Just ordered another pair of Algonquins for the lower patio to compliment the upper deck! When we built the home addition 2 years ago, I ran a set of wires down to the patio as well, but they have been sitting in hibernation. We are outside almost every night in the summer and when the neighbors see us out there, everyone always comes by to listen to some music and have a glass of wine. It's a great time. Here's where they will be going:

That's some seriously nice landscaping you've done there. Congrats on the Algonquins. I'm loving my new set.

I like the fire pit and saved a picture to show my wife.

Looks like a nice spot to hang out!

I'm moving to Fishers, Indiana for the wine.
check the doorbell...

you got a very nice place! :-)

Steve, I remember when you showed the pictures of your patio when you first completed it.

Absolutely beautiful area you created. I'd spend as much time out there as I could!!

The Algonquin speakers will be like icing on the cake.

Thanks guysI can't believe it's been 2 years (almost 3) since the addition. Sean, after you made your comment I went back and looked at some of the older pix... Big change (first 3 from Nov 2008, last one spring 2009)!

Hey, it looks finished now!

Nice!

Has anyone heard these speakers?

How well do they hold up to the elements?

I used to live on the beach. That kind of environment is horrible for any electronic gear. Humidity and salt. Not good for most electronics.

I'm in Atlanta now and I would definitely like to put a pair of those out on my screened in back patio area.

Great layout, Steve; beautiful music, beautiful country.

Thanks John.

Terry, I've had a pair out on the deck for about 2 years now and they look and sound just as good as when I got them. Granted the midwest does not have the salt issue, and I do have them placed underneath the sunroom roof overhang.

I refuse to visit until i see a hottub and an olympic sized pool.

The speakers arrived on Monday, but I course I was out of town on business. Came back yesterday and installed them. They sound wonderful!
The wife and I lit up the pit and enjoyed some outdoor music last night.

Steve, that sounds amazing! What I wouldn't give to relax by a fire with good music!

When you're my age, what I wouldn't give to relax by a fire with a good looking woman.

Nice place Steve! Are the speakers meant to be installed horizontally?

And when you're MY age, what you won't give just to relax.

They can be mounted either horizontally or vertically. I have all 4 mounted horizontally.

Thanks for the comments guys!

You continue to make me envious, Steve. Just beautiful all the way around.

Envious! this looks almost as good as my garage!

;-)

Nice.

Still talking about speakers, right?
