SONOS - Outdoor Speakers?

Is SONOS considering creating any outdoor waterproof speakers in the near future? It seems crazy not to have them so you can use the SONOS system indoors as well as outside!

    Sonos has made no announcements about such a device. However, you can take your sonos speakers outside on temporary basis if need be. Alternatively, you use a connect:amp (or connect + separate amp) to power standard outdoor speakers.

    I think part of the issue is that if you're going to place them outdoors in a permanent fashion, it's usually easier to lay speaker wire then it is to lay power lines to the appropriate speaker locations. If you would prefer to have something on battery and portable, the Bluetooth speaker market is already flooded. Then there is the problem that most people don't have good wifi outdoors.

    It probably has plenty of peak power for a Sonos speaker with 100 watts but that is just half the problem, how long it can provide tha power is the other. You'd have to measure the power use of your speaker playing at the volume levels you expect and match that up to a power supply with both enough watts and amp hours of battery to fit your needs.

    I would love for SONOS to come out with outdoor speakers. I understand that it may be easier to run speaker wire than to run electrical power to each, but I think that is a decision left up to the consumer. I personally have more than enough outlets in my surround to run many speakers and also have exceptional boost capability with my wi-fi. Again, I think it is a decision for each consumer to make. Please consider.
