Episode ES-500-AW-8 outdoor speakers

They are a solidly built product with good performance. 

From a performance standpoint, the Near LB6/LB8 are the best weatherproof speakers I've ever seen and used. 

Paradise, thanks for the info.  They look great.  I wish i could hear both the Nears and the Episodes.  I've seen the Episodes up close. If they sound as good as they look, they should be astounding. I think I'm ready to upgrade my old Kickers 6000s.

You can contact Near to see if there's a dealer in your area for a demo. 

Paradigm has great Outdoor Speakers and are on sale through August 31st 2020.

The Stylus are conventional, mountable outdoor speakers (in black or white) that are similar in shape and size to what you are presently looking at with Episode, but we also have Rocks, and Landscape style speakers that can cover any type of outdoor environment to suit your needs and/or lifestyle.

Thanks,
Chris

Paradise:  no dice on my closest dealer.  He's about 7 hours away. Thanks for the suggestion, though.
