RE: WANTED : Whole House Component Suggestions

["paul gordon" <paul_gordon@xxxxxxx>]

Talking of speakers, what with the nice weather & all, I was thinking
the
other evening about putting some speakers in my garden, then I got to
thinking about putting in "hidden" ones - you know the ones like
they have
at disneyland that look like rocks....

Has anybody put in outdoor speakers? if so what? and how well did (or
didn't) it work?

Has anybody used (or even seen) the ones that are disguised as rocks?

Cheers.

Paul G.
