You're quite wrong. A decent speaker in an open space is likely to
sound rather better than indoors.

I would agree for something like Glastonbury, Knebworth or the like, but
we're talking a domestic back garden on a sunny afternoon here )

Of course, there's really no right or wrong answer as such because it's all
subjective. Someone I used to work with spent over 5-grand on his hifi
system but I only see a small difference between his and my 400-quid system
because my ears obviously don't hear what his ears do.

My speaker system for the garden, which can be taken in and out at will,
utilises about a tenner's-worth of figure-8 cable and two ex-PC speakers,
works brilliantly in my only-just-larger-than-a-postage-stamp garden.
Whether it would work for TMH or not, I don't know, but my reply was a sort
of tongue-in-cheek observation of how this group takes such an innocent
question and then over-engineer's the answer to the nth degree )
