is no way a physical decoder could be in the biome - we generally have to

i don't understand this. are you perhaps using paper membranes? it
should be possible to obtain outdoor speakers that withstand these
conditions for years. of course they will cost a lot more, but that
should be negligible if you have to replace your current speakers that
often...
what do the ants do to the speakers, btw?
Have you looked at the Meyer M44's (plus their matching sub) - The Morning
Line uses these and they have already lived outside in Seville for a year
then were moved to Istanbul for another 7 months and are now in Budapest
waiting to be installed for a further run (after that? not sure but maybe
Vienna, or New York or...). Very low failure rate and pretty good
performance. Connected by a single four-way cable with balanced line level
audio and 48 volt power, the only thing that's difficult about using them
is that the connector is a bit of a so-and-so to wire up.
