At first, I was very impressed with the sound. After listening to a wider variety of music, I realized that the speakers are good... not great. But, you know, they really are impressive for forty dollars.

I'm not an audiophile by any means. I did notice, however, that the sound is a bit "thin." I was hoping for something a bit richer, especially on the bass end.

We're going to keep them. They're great for what we need them for and, if we decide to upgrade to better speakers in the future, these will be *perfect* for outdoors.

I bought these speakers for my outdoor back porch. I couldn't believe the quality,considering the price I paid. I was calling people to recommend these speakers the minute, I heard them. These speakers are loud enough to fill up my back porch and my back yard.

I have a screened in porch pre-wired for outdoor speakers.. putting in a pool and needed a decent set of speakers for that poolside, tiki-bar, parrot-head ambiance. Based on the reviews I read here, I decided to give these a try. I'm very glad I did. OK, we're not talking Bose here, after all, look at the price. On the other hand, I'm fairly picky about sound quality. These little speakers are just a great value. Really nice sound.. seem to be well made.. easy to install. Definitely recommended for background party sound.


Nice for backgroud yard music   February 13, 2004

I live in the city and mounted these speakers under the eave of my garage; the sound fills up my small yard area nicely & I'm quite happy with the purchase. The sound quality is very nice for low to mid-volume listening (think dinner party on the patio, suntanning, etc.) Over christmas we even turned them on to listen to Christmas music while hanging decorations and stuff, very festive -- the neighbors loved it! Overall these are pretty good speakers, especially for the low price. The other reviews are accurate with respect to their performance at high volumes -- if you want to really rock out the neighborhood, these may not be for you but overall my family is really very happy with these. My husband complained a little about the mounting brackets being flimsy but I don't see a problem, they've been hanging securely since September!


Great Sounding Speakers   September 3, 2004

I was skeptical about buying these speakers. After all,I was replacing 25 year old 27x18-54lbs speakers. I was impressed with the sound. We placed them in 35x45 foot bulding;with 15ft ceilings. At three quarter volume,they fill the room will clear,undistorted sound. They are definatley worth every penny. I seen speakers that cost more money and don't sound as good. Another good feature is that they are indoor-outdoor speakers which is good for me because they are in an unheated building. I would buy these again without hesitation.
