I know 10X as much about speakers as I did when I ordered these. I figured lots of people probably order them and an ASR review would be valuable to others. Of course I was also curious how they perform objectively since I am running one pair, and have another pair that I had originally intended to install. Now I know the speakers are a big part of what I am hearing, versus the outdoor space, and that different speakers would sound better in the same space.Thanks for the review. I wouldn’t buy these myself but I do have outdoor speakers (PSB CS1000) on my deck and at my cottage.
On third thought, what I might do is install these since I have the wires run already, the amplification in place, etc., and then get party speakers for more serious events, like pool parties. They are fine for a little low-volume Rippingtons or other background music. They don't really cut it for a listening session or a party though.
