Outdoor audiophile gear?

I'd buy those ones that look like rocks.

B&W and Sonance make very good outdoor speakers.

I don't know Tarsando, I think the ones that look like tree stumps, or better yet, the ones that look like dirt clods, sound much better than the rock speakers! (Aesthetically, I agree with you that rocks do look better than stumps or clods though!)

:-)

Speakers sound better outdoors anyway so I wouldnt spend a bunch, you would be surprised at how good a $300 pair of JBL outdoor speakers sound, these are to be used outside so dont over think it. If you are having a get together the only person they will impress is you.

Speakercraft makes several resonably priced and good quality models. Outdoor listening is not critical listening, but good speakers do sound better than bad ones. I wouldn't go crazy, though. I replaced the cheap Sony TV speakers with the Speakercraft ones (~$150) at my poolhouse and it made a noticeable difference, commented on by several friends. Happy Listening
