Good Stereo Speakers for outside use during BBQs, evening pot luck dinners etc

I want to purchase (preferably used) a pair of good speakers to place in our back yard for get togethers with friends. I would like speakers that resolve well with clean highs and decent bass but nothing on the level of very high end. I will probably be running around 40 ft of speaker wire from a Pass X250.8

I'm just looking to have quality music in the back yard to enjoy with food, drink and non-audiophile friends. Easy set up and take down is desired as I really don't want to schlep my Vandersteen's in and out of the house every time I want music outside. Any suggestions for speakers and wire would be appreciated.

I am outdoors almost every weekend either swimming or doing BBQ or both. I have one of the Bose F1 systems and really like it. Has plenty of bass and you can play them as loud as you want and drive them with an iPhone since they are powered. 

Other option I love if you want something easier to set up and take down is my Phantom Gold. These are great for outdoor use as you only need one and you can drive them via Bluetooth if you want.

B&W makes a very good outdoor speaker. It can be wall mounted. Excellent fidelity . I’ve enjoyed them for years.

I recently restored some Klipsch outdoor speakers and was blown away with the bass, it sounded as if I had a sub hooked up.  They were installed underneath the eve's of a pitched roof.  Now I have the same low frequency response as I do indoors with a sub.
