Good Stereo Speakers for outside use during BBQs, evening pot luck dinners etc


I want to purchase (preferably used) a pair of good speakers to place in our back yard for get togethers with friends. I would like speakers that resolve well with clean highs and decent bass but nothing on the level of very high end. I will probably be running around 40 ft of speaker wire from a Pass X250.8

I'm just looking to have quality music in the back yard to enjoy with food, drink and non-audiophile friends. Easy set up and take down is desired as I really don't want to schlep my Vandersteen's in and out of the house every time I want music outside. Any suggestions for speakers and wire would be appreciated.

Get a pair of Used Mackire Srm 450’s.  Mount them on the adjustable pole mounts with the 3 legs...

The pole on the stand is height adjustable and you can lift the speakers up high so that the sound isn’t blocked by people standing in front of the speakers.  They have a horn waveguide on the tweeter and therefore a very wide dispersion pattern.

buy something like a parasound z dac; something with balanced outputs.  Plug an i phone or ipad into the zdac streaming soundcloud or spotify or tidal, whatever.  Plug the z dac into the speakers with xlr cables.  All in, speakers, dac, stands, i pad, you will spend $1500 but will have a system worthy of a serious dance party!
