Looking for a Great Sounding Outdoor Speaker

Believe it or not, my wife has told me that I need to buy new speakers!! A first!

The old rusted ones (KLH) don't go with the new vinyl siding, so I have been assigned to get new, nicer-looking ones (yeah!!).

So, I'm looking for recommendations for a new pair of speakers for the patio. I'm thinking I can spend up to $500 or so (maybe more if I push it). They need to be of reasonable size as they will be attached to the sides of the enclosed porch which borders the patio, about 6 feet up on the wall. I have an outdoor subwoofer out there already, so the speakers do not need to get all the way down to 20Hz, but the lower they can go the better.

White is the preferred color.

Any help is appreciated!

Brewed's opinion is flawed and that speaker is distorted and has been recalled back to the house for modifications.

Ok Ok.

Brewed is piping back in.

I acknowledged in my original post that it was a cheap shot at our president. The thread's title just happened to strike me as a great "straight line" to get a laugh.

And I just couldn't resist. It was too easy to find the punch line.

I humbly apologize.

I have gleaned much useful information from this site and hope to continue to do so.

Didn't get either yet. I'm still debating. I would get the Mirages but the mounting scheme doesn't work well for my space - I'd need to attach additional mounting blocks for them (a no-no with the wife). I'm leaning to the Def Techs because they would be much easier to mount. I'm going on vacation Friday so the decision will need to wait a bit longer, I think.

reviving this thread in hopes that it will break this frost. i need some speakers for my pool. thinking i might go blue tooth in which case i dont need to mess with wires. though i could be convinced to go with wired if the argument is strong enough. remember these are not for critical listening, but rather functional listening. any thoughts folks?
