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!

Full disclosure: I work in progressive politics

That said, I'm really tired of the politics on this site in *both* directions. I never used an AudiogoN thread as an excuse to attack Bush (I've been a member since he first became president) because I don't think there's a place for it on a thread about outdoor speakers. OUTDOOR. SPEAKERS.

I've seen more and more of this over the course of time, and I really wish we would all leave politics off to the side when discussing issues relevant to audio.

Thedautch is right. Go somewhere else with the political rants.

Lookisjohnson,

The Mirage Oasis Omni 6 is looking pretty good to me. Excellent online reviews, 360 degree dispersion, watertight. I think these are in the lead right now, followed by the Def Techs.

The JBL Control 28's under $400pr or the control 29's for about $700. These are from JBL pro and are serious outdoor speakers.

Come on...Brewed's post was pretty funny. It's not like he mentioned death panels or anything...
