How about a pair of Klipsch outdoor speakers about 10 feet apart where
the main seating will be. If that is not enough, add another pair
later.
A volume control on the wall would be nice. Here is a weather proof

I can vouch for that Niles outdoor inline volume control. I have

That wasn't my experience when I moved from using a Boom outdoors to
using an inexpensive combo of SB Receiver, Audiosource AMP100, and Polk
Atrium 45 speakers.

I noticed that, and to be honest, I haven't listened to most outdoor
speakers :-) But I thought I'd chime in since the equipment in my
outdoor system is pretty near bottom of the scale, with the speakers
only $100/pair and the amp about $90.

LRLR makes sense. I'll give that a try.

If the patio is covered is there a need for outdoor speakers?
I think I'd mix it down to mono as well for that setup. Nobody is
likely to hear much of a stereo image and anyone sitting close to one
of the speakers isn't going to hear all of the music. There was a
recent thread that discussed how
In my own covered outdoor environments, I've found that the Boom works
very nicely. I abandoned my wiring projects altogether once I had my
first Boom.
Stereo issues won't arise, since the Boom's speakers are conjoined
twins, and stereo is only really produced at close range. Two Booms

Without knowing the exact layout and way the space tends to be used(
where people gravitate and so forth), it's all a guess. Is the goal
even distribution across the whole span or are there some specific ares
who's layout might support a stereo arrangement?
Wiring for mono can work, or in fact
I use a Touch feeding an indoor amp, speaker wires running outside from
it to a pair of N-E-A-R A8 outdoor speakers. I have a volume control
in- inline that is in a weatherproof outdoor box, the type you might
use to cover a power outlet. Whole system works perfectly, I use my
iPhone or iPad
I have decided to go with an amp and two sets of outdoor speakers, along
with a volume control as suggested here. I'll have two left channels and
two right channels. Should I space the speakers evenly along the wall or
would it make more sense to put the lefts and rights closer to each
other?
I agree on the suggestion to use passive speakers. Normally I would also
agree with the suggestion of an amp indoors along with a Duet Receiver
or SB Touch, and I'd add a weatherproofed in-line volume control, for
those times you need to drop the volume quickly and can't find the
remote fast
Passive outdoor speakers require only one cable per speaker, and you
won't have to think about electrical wiring outdoors. As the speakers
are exposed to the elements (to some degree, at least), you want as
little electronics in the speakers as possible.
Put an amp or two inside and connect it
