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!

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