20 years ago, I easily wired some Klipsch outdoor speakers to my then patio and drove them with an Onkyo amp fairly seamlessly. B channel. Someone could watch TV while I listened to music outside. I had a line running to the amp from my desktop so that I could "stream" my playlists. It was great!
I have a Marantz slim receiver now and the wiring from my living room to the outside patio would be a nightmare.
I'm thinking about buying an amp specifically for outdoor use and housing it in a room closer to the patio in order to run the wires. We use Spotify and Amazon, but I have also ripped my old CD collection and would like to be able to stream from that as well.
Any suggestions? I need tips on the speakers, wire, amps, and installation. I don't want to drill holes and I think I can run the wires through the sliding patio door grooves.
Edit to add: I'd like to keep this around $1000.
