Outdoor Speakers

Hi, I have a small place a block from the beach with a porch out front where we spend weekends in the Summer. My family spends a fair amount of time eating meals, reading, playing board games on the porch. I would like to install out door speakers so we (me) can listen to music. The porch is covered so they would not be exposed to the rain but the salt air does corrode just about everything very quickly. I think I would likely store them inside the house during the week for that reason. Are there any speakers that anyone can recommend? Thank you.

I've use a pair of the Klipsch AW-650 outdoor speakers since 2005 and they still work and sound great. Very dynamic with great highs, mids and bass. Also very efficient speakers: 8 ohms and 95 dB.
They also easily unscrew from their base with two large knobs per speaker. They might be a bit on the expensive side (I paid $400 for a pair in 2005 and live in NW Ohio) but I'm a firm believer in you get what you pay for. I'm sure there are other brands as mentioned above that sell for less and sound good.

I run Niles OS 20's - not even sure if they make them anymore but they have a nice bass response for their size and have been indestructible.

You might like the Soundcast speakers. They are high quality, onmi-directional outdoor speakers that are meant to be portable. You can run them from a Bluetooth source.
