Klipsch AW-650 Indoor/Outdoor Speaker - White (Pair)

I looked at the Polk Audio as I had purchased a set and wanted another set for outside. I got a popup saying the Klipsch was cheaper and since I have plenty of Klipsch indoor speakers I thought I couldnt go wrong. The speakers are bit larger and heavier than the Polks. Make sure you can securely hang them. As with all Klipsch speakers the horn tweeters are just fantastic! Cut thru and can be heard for a long ways away. If you are looking for thump in your bass then I suggest the Polk Audio as they have a boomier bottom end but you just cant beat the clarity of the Klipsch. Glad I made the purchase and would recomend to anyone looking to mount speakers outside or on a wall inside.

I am not sure if we received lemons or what, but when the wind comes - the covers blow off. Thankfully I can always find them, but we cant seem to keep them on the flipping OUTDOOR speakers. I am IRRITATED as I think this is severely damaging the speakers.

Excelent speakers, very satisfied. Installed at my back yard under a patio roof, it sounds great.

We added these to the back of our house for our patio just in time for spring and summer. They sound great and have held up in the northwest rain with no problems.

These speakers sound great. Hooked up to Denon receiver zone 2 and they sound great!! Very happy with them.

sound quality is awesome and has a great look and enclosure

Have owned a pair of Bose 151 outdoor speakers for many years (over 7 years), finally tired of hearing unclear heavy base sound and so many comments about Bose sound quality (no high, no low), first I did not really care about outdoor speakers as much as indoor because you only listen to them during nice summer days in the open back yard anyway, so I gave DT AW6500, 3-way speakers a try. Look up my comment, 2 star (Buyer beware (There is no Right or Left on these Speakers, DT designs them as one speaker.). After many hours of research, I ordered Klipsch AW-650 Indoor/Outdoor Speaker - White (Pair). The Best Outdoor Speakers, period!!…..or best indoor. These speakers completely changed my concept of how outdoor speakers should be. Very well built for outdoor, of course (do not know about weather proof part ) but crystal clear sound with a good bass, you could even use them as versatile indoor speakers. One down side, you might need a sub if you really want some boom.......worth every penny.

A little background...Im a music fanatic and I have music playing all around my house (we have acreage) as well as inside. I have bought many different outdoor speakers over the years. I have some el-cheapos, I have a set of the old style Bose 151 Environmentals that are not bad for small speakers, I have a set of Polk Atrium 45s that are excellent small outdoor speakers. I also had a set of Polk Patio speakers for my pool and patio area. They blew last weekend, so I needed some new ones, and I wanted some really great ones. After doing some research, I was torn between these, the larger Polk Atriums, and the Definitives. I think they would all be fine speakers, but I am a Klipsch fan and I liked the look of these, so I placed my order. I received them today and have been playing them for about 4 hours. At first, they sounded a bit hollow. But after about 30 minutes of play time, they started smoothing out. Wow, these sound great. The base response is the best I have heard from outdoor speakers. I have weatherproof subs that I built, but I turned them off to see how these sounded without them, and the bass is pretty impressive. But where these really shine is where all Klipsch speakers shine...the clarity of the mids and highs. They are crystal clear and sounds like guitar and horns project from the horn tweeters far better than you will get from most speakers. They are bright, but not too bright. Some extra brightness is usually needed outside anyway, because its a wide open area. And these fill the bill perfectly. On my last speakers, I had to run the treble at +6 and the bass at +3. I have the bass at 0 and the treble at +1 on these, and they sound much better than the Polk Patios did. I can sit all the way on the other side of the pool and hear every little nuance of the music Im playing. No kidding...this system sounds far better than most indoor systems! I will update after Ive played these for a month or so, but so far I am loving them. I suspect they will only get better. Cant wait for the next pool party where Im sure to impress my guests with the sound. Good listening! Update- They are probably fully broken in now, and they sound better than ever. The clarity of these, they way they bring out the highs and mids is nothing short of breathtaking As mentioned above; I have two outdoor subs I custom built to withstand the weather, and together with these speakers I have an outdoor system that will shame 95% of indoor stereo systems. Ive had people over a couple of times since installing these, and they are absolutely amazed at the quality of sound in my back yard. Good thing I have some acreage or my neighbors would hate me. As long as these hold up, and I think they will given who makes them; they are premier outdoor speakers. If you want the best, buy these. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2nd Update- Its the end of October now and Im setting out on my deck enjoying the mild weather and listening to my sound system. The accuracy and clarity of these speakers is nothing short of stunning! Its such a pleasure to be able to sit outdoors and still enjoy audiophile grade sound. These speakers are worth every penny of what I paid for them. Im enjoying them very much and I still highly recommend them to anyone willing to pay a little more for true quality. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Update - Six years later, these are playing as beautifully as the day I bought them. Still amazingly well balanced and accurate, and that horn loaded tweeter is still cutting through the great outdoors. Our guests still comment on how great the system sounds. These are not cheap, but they are the best. They sound amazing and they last. You can either buy these once or buy cheaper speakers several times. I just wanted to circle back almost seven years later and proclaim that I still love these speakers! They have been outside for the entire time, even survived my wife pressure washing them (she meant well), and they still sound as amazing as when new. Though the bass response is respectable, I run them with two outdoor subs I built, and the sound quality is spectacular! And being outside, that is a strong statement! Everyone who comes over (we entertain a lot in the back yard) is amazed at the sound quality! No, they arent cheap, but you get what you pay for. Just buy them, and youll love them for many years same as I have.

You can never go wrong with Klipsch! I’ve used their products for years and they never disappoint.

I am not new to Klipsch products. I still have and use two pairs of Klipsh Heresy speakers I bought in ... wait for it ... 1973!! They still sound great. With the addition of the Klipsch outdoor speakers to my Lake Dock Stereo system, I now have the best sounding system in the area. Yes, they are relatively expensive speakers. Yes, they are larger than most outdoor speakers AND Yes -- they are definately worth the money!!
