There are several speaker manufacturers that market all-weather speakers. I bought a pair of Mirage Oasis speakers several years ago; no complaints and I live in Canada where the four seasons are rather distinct. They have a little switch on 'em to compensate for the environment, adds a little bottom end. Nice mounting hardware, hard to beat for the price ~$225 new. I use a NAD7100 Reference Series receiver and Dynaco tubed CDP to listen to tunes whilst hanging around my pool. In the winter the electronics come inside and along with a pair of Wharfdale Diamond speakers make up my garage system. The Oasis speakers have been outdoors every day for a little over four years now. My neighbors have commented on their ability to play loudly, several times. Boston Acoustics makes outdoor speakers (I didn't like'em much) and I'm pretty sure Focal makes some nice speakers as well (but cost quite a bit more than the Mirage were).
Need Recommendation for Good Outdoor Speakers
My uncle wants to install some exterior speakers, and I don't want to lead him astray (I'm stuck with the install). They have to withstand the elements, and preferably be able to be found for around 300 bucks. Any suggestions?
P.S. They need to be able to play fairly loudly, too.
