NEAR outdoor speakers



I've seen a couple glowing posts about NEAR (Bogen) audio outdoor speakers. Has anyone heard these? And are they audiophile material for music listening outdoors? How do they compare with Niles or B&W? Thank you.

I have heard them at a dealer. They are indeed very good, a bit pricey if that's no object.
I have always used B&W outdoor speakers. I believe for the environment/money that is the way to go for me. Outdoors is not really an "audiophile" setting.
