In 1997 I bought a set (5) of the BIC speakers. Plastic ported pods. 5-1/4” MW, polypropylene with butyl rubber surrounds, 1” polycarbonate tweeters. They’ve been doing duty outside since 1998. 22 years! Still sound and work great! Nice bass, but not subwoofer bass. I have 2 on the pool deck, 2 on the patio deck. I use the headphone out connections from a portable CD player to a weather-tight Pyle amp. Cheap. But sounds great for non-critical outside music. 50 Watts/channel is plenty of power for outdoors.
Good Stereo Speakers for outside use during BBQs, evening pot luck dinners etc
I want to purchase (preferably used) a pair of good speakers to place in our back yard for get togethers with friends. I would like speakers that resolve well with clean highs and decent bass but nothing on the level of very high end. I will probably be running around 40 ft of speaker wire from a Pass X250.8
I'm just looking to have quality music in the back yard to enjoy with food, drink and non-audiophile friends. Easy set up and take down is desired as I really don't want to schlep my Vandersteen's in and out of the house every time I want music outside. Any suggestions for speakers and wire would be appreciated.
