Looking for recommendations for outdoor speakers
These would be WIRED, mounted to poles, and up relatively high.
The purpose is casual listening (not critical listening) when drinking cocktails and people talking, but which are not overtly offensive to someone who normally listens in a dedicated audio room. Primarily rock and roll and the like.
The choices for outdoor speakers that are not G-d Awful seems pretty slim or I am looking in the wrong places.
I am strongly leaning to the Bowers Architectural Monitor outdoor speakers (mounting them tweeter down) with a JBL AWC15LF-BK sub mounted above them. (Subs being necessary because the Bowers are bass restricted.)
Also in the running are KEF Venturas, again paired with the JBL subs.
Note, JBL is picked because I literally cannot find any other outdoor/pole mounted subs.
Floor standing subs are not an option.

I researched outdoor speakers about a year ago and ended up with a pair of PSB CS-1000 speakers. I drive them with a Sonos amp and am really happy. Enough volume to get calls from the neighbors if I am not careful. They have good bass for an outdoor speaker and I don not have a sub. The Definitive Technology line gets great reviews as well. Your space is a good bit larger than mine, FYI. |
I have these in my deck, surprisingly good sound quality, easy to mount...

I have a few sets of outdoor speakers. But these are by far my favorites. They sound huge. Dayton Audio IO8XTW 8" Indoor/Outdoor 2-Way Speaker w/ Bass Radiator White
