Outdoor Speaker Suggestions

[<eargiant]

If anyone is willing to offer suggestions I'm all ears.

• They will be powered from Zone 2 of my Denon 3803 which will be fed a digital signal from an M-Audio 2496 soundcard.

• I would like them to sound clear and well rounded at lower volumes.

• Not looking to play loud but if I do they must be capable.

• I'm open to either traditional looking speakers or camouflaged rocks,etc.

• Must be high quality- durable and weather resistant. I don't want them to rust and look unsightly.

• Sound must be good/decent but not reference class of course. To give an idea, I much preferred the sound of the original Philharmonic modded BS-22's over something like Monitor Audio Bronze 2's.

• No set budget.

Thanks in advance.

OSD makes good products. Most outdoor speaker show rust after awhile. These rocks should do a good job:

You sure about that digital source working with zone 2?

As for speakers, I've used these for a coupla years and am very pleased with their sound, altho I really haven't turned them up a whole lot as I don't want to bother neighbors; they are mounted under eaves, will yours need to be exposed to the elements, thus the rock type enclosure question?

I have a pair of Klipsch AW-650 and they are outstanding. Very bright and clear as well as loud if you need them to be. The perfect party speakers!! I also use them for Zone 2 of my Integra. They are available in black or white.

I have the RBH MC-6AW outdoor speakers in my back porch. The speakers are powered by my Denon X3100 Zone 2.

Hmm, not sure about zone 2 with a digital source. I'll have to look into that. If not I can run a line from the speaker B output of the Yamaha A-S801.

Thanks to all for the suggestions.
