Summertime is best spent with family and friends in the fresh air with food sizzling on the grill and your favorite tunes wafting through the air. Why not make your backyard the unofficial destination of the season? Today’s weatherproof technology means you can upgrade your Sandy Springs or Metro Atlanta property with an outdoor speaker system and outdoor TVs for cookouts, pool parties, and relaxing year-round; without worry of long-term damage from exposure to sunlight, heat or rain that our area is known for.

But before adding outdoor speakers and TVs to your home, it only makes sense you’ll want to hear and see the quality first. Many direct-to-consumer products claim to be high-quality, but you don’t know how it truly sounds until you experience the technology in real life.

At Georgia Home Theater’s showroom in Marietta, you can look, touch, hear and see our outdoor speaker and TV options before purchasing. To prepare for your visit, continue reading to explore the outdoor entertainment that is on display at Georgia Home Theater’s showrooms.

It’s April, the taxes are done, the weather in Atlanta is comfortably warm, and our thoughts are turning to the outdoors. Of course, it’s also a time when we want to spruce up our outside areas as well. We’ll uncover the patio furniture, plan for the landscapers to plant annuals, prune the rose bushes, mulch the beds, and get the patios power-washed. When it's all cleaned up and ready, we admire the result and think of what else might make the outside spaces even more inviting.

Chances are you have an outdoor grill on your patio, and perhaps it’s built-in. Maybe you have an outdoor kitchen. If not, now is the perfect time to install one just in time for summer barbecue season. Are you thinking about a swimming pool to beat the humid Georgia heat? There’s still time before summer hits.

Regardless of what improvements you have planned for your outdoor living spaces, you should consider one upgrade that will enhance any of your activities - adding music. With an outdoor speaker system in your Roswell-area patio, you will make all your swimming, lounging, sunning, entertaining and grilling activities that much more enjoyable.

Read on for some ideas to enhance your outdoor space - and if you already have outdoor audio, you may want to upgrade it!

Sometimes we have champagne tastes, but our budgets tend to favor the price of beer. Music enthusiasts with big budgets are known to spend significant dollars trying to extract that last ounce of performance from their system. Whether it's the speakers, the amplifier, the preamp, the music player, or the cables, the HiFi enthusiast’s quest is for the perfect sound. Sometimes the search is never-ending, but indeed, that's part of the fun and the hobby.

But what if you are a music lover with other responsibilities and can't devote a large piece of your disposable income to the search for your perfect sound? The good news is that we are in a bit of a "golden age" for audio, with a plethora of great sounding gear available at affordable prices.

One of those pieces of gear comes from Paradigm. Paradigm is a Canadian company with a rich history of speakers. The company's founders believed in custom-designing their speakers based on science, not the prevailing conventional wisdom. They used audio research from the National Research Council of Canada to guide their original designs. The other major tenet the founders wanted to uphold was accessibility – they wanted to make audiophile speakers regular folks could afford.

While Paradigm now makes some high-end speakers like the Persona Series, the company is still known for delivering serious audio performance for the dollar. If you are an HiFi enthusiast on a budget in the Vinings area, Paradigm speakers should be on your short list to evaluate.

Let’s take a closer look at the Paradigm Monitor SE Series, where high-performance audio and affordability happily intersect.
