EV 40 monitors. They live for abuse and sound fairly good.
Rat speakers for Deck - $200 budget - Need Suggest
I need a pair of speakers for outside use on the patio/garden/party area. I'm in a semi-tropical climate (San Diego, 7 miles inland) where it "never" freezes, little rain, very dry. They will be mounted on a wall under a permanent patio ceiling - no rain water will reach them. I'll probably bring them inside for Dec/Jan - the cold/rainy season.
I use a pair of JBL 4208 as computer monitors and, despite them being nearfield monitors, I think their over-pronounced bass might work well outside. This won't be a precision listening room, just need something that sounds decent. They will be mounted about 15' apart and listening will be from 8' to 40'.
Prefer 8" or larger LF driver. I temporarily put up some Infinity 6" bookshelfs (RS3 I think) and was shocked and pleased at just how well they sound . . . again, I'm taking into consideration these are speakers for the deck, not for high end listening.
Pushing these with a Denon, 2-channel receiver. List was $400 or so, nothing special, but a decent amp for these mass produced receivers.
Thanks for any suggestions.
