A:Answer I have an elevated deck and had the same concern about them being down below along the perimeter of the yard. I was figuring I would start with these and eventually add a couple of speakers to bring the sound up to the deck space, but honestly, there’s no need. These things fill the air with amazing sound, especially if you use a high quality source like Apple Music’s lossless quality, Deezer, Tidal or Spotify HiFi when it comes out. I may still add speakers up top, but not as a primary source, just surround sound. I just don’t know if I really need it….
