Hello all, and thankyou for your wonderful and informative replies. There is a lot to learn it seems and I will no doubt pose other questions after Ive read more and digested what has already been said. David - 56 channels ! I would have been drowning in a spaghetti of cables and tape I think. I dont know the speakers you speak of but please let me know if you remember what they are called. In regards to the speakers - yes we are looking into buying some tropical proof weather speakers. I believe Eden had some type of all weather speakers before but even they didnt last long. Put it this way - even keeping a mains supply is difficult in the biome - ants chew though everything (literally) and the humidity is fercocious - Ive heard there are some self draining military grade speakers around and any suggestions are appreciated. The thing is even speakers designed for subtropical conditions may not hack it - they really have to be specially designed for really really humid conditions (we can treat them with antiant stuff )
There are underwater speakers (used in swimming pools among other things); might they be any use? Not hifi but it sounds like hifi + water don't mix well anyway.
