[Klipsch outdoor speakers]

Actually sorry i'm thinking the AW-650 instead of the AW-525.  Thoughts?

[Klipsch outdoor speakers]

Setting up speakers for my new pool/patio area.  See pictures below with layout.

 

My plan was to have 2 speakers mounted under the soffit, facing down onto the upper patio seating area (yellow stars). Let's call this zone 1. Then in addition to that 6 speakers around the pool, possibly rock speakers in the beds (red stars). Let's call this zone 2

I do not need the ability to play separate sources on zone 1 and zone 2, but I do want to be able to control the volume of each zone (as a group) independently. That way I can choose to play the sound on just the upper patio, or just the pool, or both.

My audio source will be exclusively streamed music (spotify, youtube music).

My electrician is coming this week and I'll have him run 4-conductor speaker wire from each speaker location back to the house where my receiver will eventually be.

 

A friend suggested the following speakers, but I'd like your views on them:
zone 1 (2 of them): Klipsch AW-525
zone 2 (6 of them): Klipsch AWR-650-SM

If these are good speakers, I still need help picking a receiver to power them all comfortably and a way to stream to it (like a google chromecast audio equivalent).

 

thanks
