What are the best sounding outdoor speakers?

Hi, just checking to see if anyone has any experience with the best outdoor models from Niles, JBL, Infinity, Polk, Bose, or others? Setting aside cost and sensitivity/efficiency, which of these is likely to sound the best in an outdoor environment? I'd like some decent bass and highs in terms of extension, good open, clear midrange, and decent definition and transient response. I'm looking for outdoor speakers that play loud and clear. Thanks!

You should hear the Klipsch AW-525 or better yet the AW-650.

As far as rocks go I’ve only heard the Niles RS8Si (8” rock) and their 6”. The 8” sounded great and can be run as a single rock or as a pair. They are expensive and sold individually.

Does anyone know a good mail order supplier to purchase the Klipsch WA-650 outdoor speakers?

Three weeks ago I purchased a pair of Klipsch WA-650 outdoor speakers. Although they are pricey ($400) they do sound very good. I had an opportunity to demo them at my dealers against several of the brands named above. Although the others are good I preferred to spend the extra money on the sound produced by the Klipsch.
