Outdoor Speakers......please


Sorry to rehash this question. I've read all the old threads. My dealer likes Truaudio. Can anyone give me an A/B on these vs any others? I would like to get something that sounds good as we spend lots of time out there. I will probably power them with a cheap Onkyo or Sherwood 2 channel receiver. Any Info on power would be appreciated too. This is a small patio situation. Thanks

My dealer was thinking about bringing in a new line of high end outdoor speaker systems. It didn't interest me but I will ask him what they were and let you know the name this week if that helps.

For outdoors dont over think it, plus your driving it with budget anyway....I have JBL 2 way outdoor speakers that are around $300...spending more just seems a bit silly.
Outside is a very, very big room and makes most small speakers sound like crap. Get something with 8" woofers, like the Sonance Mariner 82.

Omage Granite Speakers are excellent for the money but a little hard to find. There is a GR306 (6" woofer) and GR 308 (8" woofer), I have both but prefer the 308. You can do a search on ebay and find them for under $160 a pair. They favorably compete with indoor/outdoor speakers at three times the cost.
Good luck with your search
Check out the EV evid 4.2 or the bigger 6.2 models. These are professional speakers and don't break the bank. I use both.
High efficiency therefore easy to drive and sound great.
