Review 1 of 11

Price Paid:  $100.00 from Costco

Summary:
Good value speakers,Pretty much what i expected for outdoor rates.However, as others have mentioned ,alot of distortion when pushed and inappreciable lows. I started with a pair then added another. These speakers increase in performance 5X with a quad set vs. a pair. Add a sub and now youve got an outdoor system worthy of acclaim. Realistically : good speakers for value with fair performance.

Strengths:
Obviosly price,Fair high end freq.Great mounts .So far have withstood the elements with no loses(cover when not in use) .

Weaknesses:
Inadequate low freq.The addition of a sub is a MUST.

Similar Products Used:
JBL.

Review 3 of 11

Price Paid:  $100.00 from Best Buy

Summary:
I mounted these, using the included brackets, on brick columns supporting my outside deck. I used a wood shim under each bracket to tilt them down a few degrees so rainwater runs off. The swivel brackets allow us to rotate the speakers toward the back yard for lawn parties or toward the house for listening on our deck.

Strengths:
I am very pleased with the sound, considering the small cabinet. The woofer size in these speakers was a bit larger than others in the store that were more expensive. I also chose them because they were available in black, matching the railings around our deck.

Weaknesses:
I'd like to hear a little more bass. I might add an outdoor subwoofer under the deck later.

Review 5 of 11

Price Paid:  $100.00 from Best Buy

Summary:
I must admit I was a little skeptical of these after reading the reviews on line. The problem is there just ain''t a whole lotta choices for outdoor speakers period. So I reluctantly purchased these bad boys thinking I would be returning them when they sounded too tinny. I was actually quite impressed with their range and clarity. In the cluttered outdoor environment they sound excellent. Hiss is non-existant and the bass is projected well enough that my neighbors will be calling the police on me for years to come.

Strengths:
Good range; clear reproduction; strong bass response

Weaknesses:
bass is lacking but still impressive

Marantz MA-9S2 Reference Series Power Amplifiers Review

Marantz MA-9S2 Power AmplifierThe list above has one tenet that I continue to hold true: high powered amplifiers are necessary to reproduce the full dynamic range of music with most speakers. This became apparent when I changed from the 100 Watt per channel Bella Extreme 100 to the 250 Watt.....

Lowther’s DX-65 driver in the Teresonic Magus XR Review

A new driver from Lowther is real news. A new five inch driver is even rarer news, so it was with great anticipation that I waited on this pair of speakers to arrive.

Aune Mini Headphone DAC User Review

The unit arrived from China well packed and everything seem to be in place. No external abuse by the carriers. The only problem was the power supply it came with. The box came with a cheap step-down converter.

Aural Symphonics Chrono b2 balanced interconnects Review

The Aural Symphonics Chrono b2 is more a study in contrasts than most cables. Chrono b2 refers to balanced version 2.
