Need Recommendation for Good Outdoor Speakers

i put a pair of Niles OS-20 in my yard.
i was pretty surprised with the caliber of bass provided.

Klipsch makes an outdoor speaker which features horn loading, and thus is quite efficient. The housing is made of ABS plastic, so it will withstand outdoor weather pretty well. I have not heard this speaker, but since Klipsch is now distributed fairly widely you should be able to find a dealer.

B&W Leisure Monitors are weatherproof. I have used Rock Solid monitors (their predessor) for about 4 yrs. They have been outside the entire time and still sound great.

I really like my B&W WP-1's. They are the best outdoor speaker I have ever owned and I have owned three different pairs. You can't go wrong with these.

I must agree with Gerryn. I too own, two (2) pairs, of B&W WP-1's for my outdoor patio. I'm currently pushing them with an Adcom GFA -2535 (4 channels multi amp, configure at 60W x 4; found my used pair on eBay for $250. My budget for spending on outdoor speakers was limited to $600ish a pair. I listened to alot of outdoor speakers (e.g. Niles, SpeakerCraft, Boston Accoustics, Bose, etc.) and this had the best bass response at the price I wanted to spend. Now if $$money$$ is no object and you really want the BEST . . . then I would have purchase a pair of All Weather Tannoys, see http://www.tannoyna.com/commercial/product_03.html, if you ever go to a "W" hotel, this is what they use in their lounges; outstanding sound! FYI#1: If your looking to purchase a WP-1, they're discontinued, but, check out http://http://www.mediasystems.com/store.html, if this is still availble for sale at $265, you should gooble it up; I bought my 2nd pair, used on eBay for $350. FYI#2 If you can't find any WP-1's, I would go for an NHT Outdoor One. There's one on eBay for auction http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3074609441&category=14995. Hope this helps.
