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!

I think would be a good idea to bring this question back to life because for some of us this is a present dilema so ... in 2017,  witch do you consider are the best options for outdoor speakers? ,In this area there are no too expensve options so what do you consider are the best in audio quality and power with no restrictions in budget? Thanks in advance and happy holidays

For those of us on budgets, you have to hear the Kicker 6000.  $100 a pair, or less. You read that right.  I had a pair hooked up to a sony 90 watt receiver and sounded really good.  then I found a used NAD 150 watt integrated. HOLY CRAAAAAAAAAAAAP!  I didn't know what I was missing!!!!  those little speakers kick total ass!!! they sound huge.
