outdoor speakers , witch ones

[Steve M]

I currently have some very old JBL made in japan back in the day. control LA book shelf speakers , they have been outside for years and still work great ,Wife wants those , so up Grade Time !!
I do not want to go backwards in sound
SHORT LIST
RBH MC6 AW ,
Episode 6 inch outdoor
Voyager 60 outdoor
less $$ is also better

How do you tell if a speaker is power hungry like my wm 30s that i do love ,Buy looking at the specs ?
is it the recommended wattage .sorry I am used to 20 year old klipschs that are super efficient
These will be driven buy Emotiva a700 amp and 8802a pre amp


Thanks

As long as you are not expecting huge concert level SPLs, any of those speakers should do fine with your amplification. Personally I would go for the RBH speakers, RBH is a solid brand. I believe those others are installer brands, so very high markup on those speakers.

By the way, in your title you want to say 'which ones', not 'witch ones'. Witches are these things:

What about the voyagers , are they less power hungry than the RBH
and are they as clear , oops on witches witched , in a hurry at work
