Outdoor speakers (1 Viewer)

I was trying to find an older thread on outdoor speakers, but could not find anything. Anyone have any opinions on the subject. Just trying to fill a small enclosed patio with some good sound -- gotta listen to some music in the hot tub. Would prefer not to go with bose.

thanks

Kyle,
Lots of choices depending on your budget range.

Russound makes a great outdoor speaker as does alot of other manufacturers. The russounds had 5 yr warranties and were totally enclosed so weather wasn't an issue.

Klipsch might be good too as they will be a bit easier to drive for your amp.

Hoping to keep it under $500.
Where can I find Russound to demo?

Kyle,
I have a pair of Boston Acoustics that sound really good. I was surprised at how good, actually. I think they were about $400/pair. You should check them out.

Kyle,
Do a search on their site:
http://www.russound.com for a local dealer.

You'll need to log in or send them an email.

I have used a pair of Polk Audio Atrium45s for 2 years now without any problems. I believe you could get these for under $200 for the pair.

Another one for your list to check out are NHT Outdoor Ones. I believe they go down to about 55Hz and sound nice and clean. MSRP is $400/pr. Yeah, I can piss off the neighbors a few blocks away with them. I drive them off my Elite 45TX's 2nd zone. Best thing is though, they don't have to be played loud to sound good.

Boston accoustic "voyager".I've had mine for about 3yrs out in the elements and they are still going strong and sound great.
