Awesome set up. Just my .02 but I know little about brewing and a lot about audio. Buy something for inside and put them outside. Just make sure it is covered and bring them inside if the weather looks bad. I have $5000/pair studio monitors and settled on a pair of $150 Polk speakers for the outside. I had $600 to spend, but the outside speaker choices really leave much to be desired. I can go through four pairs before I lose money and the cheapies sound better than Bose's best offering. Stay away from Bose(great marketing campaign, little quality), and go for a nice pair of small indoor speakers. I love my 4" driver Polks. They sound great from 20', not inside studio great, but better than the $550/pair Bose outdoor I looked at. I have left them out during rain at least a dozen times over the past two years, and come home to find a puddle on top of one or both of them. No problems so far. I am positive the speakers have been through nothing more than the hardest indoor speaker conditions and they work fine. I'm not advocating Polk, just a good indoor speaker brand(i.e. Klipsch, B&W, AA) just that an outdoor speaker will not sound very good-ever. Spend less and buy more I suppose, but my Polk 4" are still going strong with good bass response down to 60hz after 2 years outside in Austin (4"!)-they do get wet-I try to minimize, but they have been soaked a number of times. I'm sure they will crap out at some point, but how long is to see. They sound better than the $550 Bose outdoor speakers I was looking at. That's around four of the speaker sets I have. Or by my experience at least 8+years. Just a new thought on a great thread, love the pics! Look forward to seeing more, and congratulations!
