(More customer reviews)I wanted outdoor speakers to get sound to my patio and pool area. My budget was only $200 so I wasn't sure what I would find. At first I was looking at the Polk Atrium 45 and the Yamaha NS-AW570WH. After researching more on the Polk and Yamaha websites, I found the new Atrium 5 series from Polk seemed to fit my needs the best, but the price was a little over my budget. I was surprised when I found them here on Amazon at such a great price. Interesting that the white version is selling at list price while the black is discounted 30%. They can both be painted so I jumped at the chance to get the black speakers at a significant savings.
I'm very pleased with my purchase. I have a 15' deep covered patio. I have the speakers mounted under the patio on the wall of the house. These little speakers have no problem throwing sound all the way to the end of the pool 45' away from the speakers. The nice thing too is that the sound stays where I want it and I can enjoy it without bothering my side neighbors. I have them mounted near the ceiling so I get good bass response. My Yamaha RX-V3900 receiver has 3 zones so now I can listen to music at the pool while the kids watch movies or play video games on the main TV.
In the end I decided not to paint the speakers. They look very nice in black and actually blend in well with my house. They actually blend in better than the white speakers would have. I can't comment on how well they will hold up in the outdoors. The military specs they are designed to meet make me think they will be superb. Plus they have a 5 year warranty. My mounting position also helps since it's nearly impossible for them to ever see rain, although they will see hot Texas sun at times. Overall, excellent speakers at this price.
