Outdoor Speaker Recommendation
Posted on 7/3/23 at 4:04 pm

Cross post from tech board.
Looking to have a couple speakers installed on my back porch that will connect to both my outdoor TV and to stream music.
I think I've narrowed it down to Klipsch AW650, Polk Atrium 8, or Definitive Technologies AW6500. Thoughts or other recommendations?
I’m not an audiophile, so I don’t need the best of the best, but do want some well balanced speakers that will sound good with both TV and music.

I have 4 of these and I can rock the neighborhood. Great sound quality and solid bass which is nearly impossible to find in an outdoor speaker. It helps to start with 8” woofers

I have Klipsch KHO-7, got them for a really good price and have no complaints.

Ive got some Polk Atriums. I bought all Polk for in and outside years ago and love them

I had Polk inside, and outside. Changed outdoor speakers to Bose 5yrs ago, put old Polk outdoor speakers in my shop. For whatever reason, the Polk speakers performed better in enclosed areas, and the Bose better in open spaces…

Not what the OP is looking for, but I like to mention them anytime someone is looking for outdoor speakers. They are legit and I've been rocking their products for about 20 years.

I have a nice half acre yard and I like to enjoy the music while I’m doing yard work as well as around the pool. But really they don’t have to be up loud. The sound quality can’t be duplicated with 5-1/4 or 6-1/2 speakers.

I can vouch for the Def Tech AW6500. I have 2 pairs (patio and carport). Both installations are high in the corners with walls on back and 1 side of speaker. I think it helps transmit the bass some. And i love the sound. Have had them for over 5 years now and no complaints. They are fairly protected from elements but do get rain water on occasion and i have pressure washed around them several times. No issues.
ETA - I consider myself a mild audiophile. Im not one to spend thousands on boutique speakers though.

I have Polk... Good speaker for the $

I have 6 of the same Definitive Tech speakers under my porch. They can handle all the watts you want to throw at it. If you want pure sound, they are very steady, but you need to add an underground subwoofer if you want additional bass.

I found a couple of Pyle speakers in the attic when we moved in, crew who built the house was lazy (we're 2nd owners). Finally put them out on the deck area, which was pre-wired. Now I'm waiting for temps to get to where I actually want to be on the deck. They sound fine though, I listened to 3 minutes of LSU baseball a couple of weeks ago to test. No signs of issues at all from being in an attic for 10 years (they were boxed, at least).
