I have the B&W outdoor monitors, I think WM1. Previous incarnations. Before them I had the Rock Solid monitors by B&W for 16 years on my deck. My son still uses them indoors, I can recommend them on durability alone, they sound good too.
I did a little research on this for a friend a while ago, and I recall coming across some Definitive Technology outdoor speakers that seemed to offer a lot for the money. Might be worth a look. Best of luck, and let us know what you decide on and how it works out.
Take a look at the Parts Express site,they have many offerings that are not too costly,you don't need high end for outdoor speakers. I have a pair of Audio Source and they are fine!
If not directly exposed to the elements, can't beat a pair of Realistic Minimus 7's, when you can still find them around. I've used mine on my deck for years and they still are all I could want out there regarding good sound out of a small durable package..
look at these: http://www.costco.com/Kicker-KB6000-Full-range-IndoorOutdoor-Speakers-Black.product.11672823.html. they sound great for the price, and they play LOUD!!!
