A family members birthday is this coming Thursday and a few of us have decided to chip in to buy him outdoor speakers. He recently redid his backyard and needs some tunes. He has been using a sound bar with Bluetooth, so someone suggested we get him Bose speakers. Hah! So, I turn to you fellow audio files to help me decide a good fit for his area.
The house is elevated about 7ft from the rest of the area. He has a deck about 9 feet deep before you get to the stairs which lead down to a patio and pool. Pool is about 30 feet long and patio extends another 10. Seating is closer to the stairs however, and on the deck.
I’ve read about the mariner 56 or the NHT 02-ARC. $500 is our limit to spend on a pair. He will never have a sub outdoors either.
Thank you for your input!
