Replacing outdoor speakers

I know this is not a truly an audiophile question, but my patio speakers, now 16 years old in PacNW weather but under the eaves  are pretty hopeless and need replacing. Obviously I'm not looking for recommendations on multi-thousand dollar recommendations but what have others found acceptable price wise, durable and acoustically solid?

Thanks, Mark. I'd narrowed my search down to DefTek AW650 and Klipsch AW650, and today demo'd both against each other. There was a very slight difference, Klipsch a little tighter and more defined on upper registers, DefTk a little (very little) larger soundstage. The Klipsch's were on sale this weekend for $299, and the DefTek's $500. I chose the Klipsch's And just finished installation. They sound great and I have $200 worth of extra happiness.
