Put two of these out by my pool and absolutely love them! Great sound from the pair running off a Yamaha RX V-1400 for power and it cranks these speakers. I also have two Klipsch AW-650 over the patio on the same receiver. When all four are cranked up, it's pretty amazing! I spent a lot of time researching outdoor speakers and I'm very happy with the result.
Pros: Attractive, Compact, Easy To Set Up, Good Audio
I originally purchased just 1 to try and see if wired for stereo the sound would be good. I did not hear enough presence with 2 channels going into one speaker. I ordered another which changed the resistance from 8 ohms to 4 make sure your amplifier can handle 4 ohm speakers. Sound was good but not great. Over time these speakers broke in and the bass became much better. These speakers have incredible range for an outdoor speaker. They are better than some bookshelf speakers in their price range.
Pros: Attractive, Durable, Easy To Set Up, Good Audio
WOAH! Bought a total of 10 of these speakers. ( we throw parties ). We have set up 14 gauge speaker wire to these going to a receiver inside the house. And what can i say. Totally worth the hassle. I recommend hiring a sound technician to do the weiring. We have 2 by our pool. 3 surrounding the patio. And 4 around our 1/2 acre property.Having those split up so we can have different music playing in different areas for the kids is a plus. Allowing them to play whatever kind of music they want to without disrupting ours.
I heard the Rock at local store, sounded great so I bought. Hooked it up to zone 2 0f Yamaha v665. I put on our large patio used the 2 channel hookup.Let me tell you, the sound is GREAT!! Plenty of volume, excellant highs and plenty of bass,may get another if we have any dance parties!!A good quality speaker,you wont be sorry, its actually amazing!
