A little background...I'm 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 45's 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 it's 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 I'm playing. No kidding...this system sounds far better than most indoor systems!
I will update after I've played these for a month or so, but so far I am loving them. I suspect they will only get better. Can't wait for the next pool party where I'm 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. I've 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-
It's the end of October now and I'm 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! It's 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. I'm 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 aren't cheap, but you get what you pay for. Just buy them, and you'll love them for many years same as I have.

Excellent quality for very reasonable price. This is my second pair purchase! The sound is full and balanced well-very clean, crisp highs and base tones are deep enough to handle classical piano notes of George Winston or some heart pounding Metallica.
I’m using a 2 channel 100 watt Yamaha amplifier(Bluetooth) for outside deck(300 soft)yard( 1 acre plus) speakers are mounted 24’ apart/12’ off ground. At very moderate to high volume, the sound is pretty damn good- again very well balanced with no distortion or vibrations.
My first pair of these same Klipsch have been dedicated to a indoor setting in a finished basement bar area with 9 ft ceilings (600 sqft). I’ve had them for 3 years and they rock/ same amplifier. They produce big time!!!
As for these (my second pair) that I just installed outdoors in our Maine home, we shall see how well they handle the punishment of the UV, wind, rain, ice, snow, and evil cold being exposed.
On the front of our house we installed the Polk Atrium 6- which is a much smaller speaker, for the same price as these ($285-ish) however decent sound. The Polk Atrium 8’s ( which are more similar to these Klipsch in cabinet size/ spec/ performance) are $250+ EACH, nearly double the price!! I will say our outdoor Polk speakers are mounted on the Northwest side of our house that gets the worst winds for over 3 years now and they have handled the punishing Maine winter weather extremely well so far. The Klipsch difference in sound quality in my opinion is significant for my sound applications so far; The cabinet is deeper so the bass is very clean and the horns are noticeably crisp. Hopefully these outdoor Klipsch will fair the weather conditions as well. In the event they run into trouble I can only hope that the company backs their product like they attest to in their product disclaimers. We shall see.
I can only hope that my review will help some folks decide. Knowing the quality performance of these I just cannot see a terrible risk laying out $285 to complete what I feel is a solid outdoor entertainment system.

I am very happy with these speakers. I have had the Bose 251s in the past and find these to provide greater detail across the mid to upper range, and not muddy at the bottom. The sound is great for being out in the open, and loud enough to embody the Klipsch statement, 'tell the neighbors we are not sorry'. They are a little larger than I expected, but not enough that they seem out of place. They are easy to mount and hook up. I am driving them with a '80s Kenwood KR-V126R receiver and they are stellar. I would buy them again in a heartbeat. I should have done this years ago.

Overall, I'm satisfied with the speakers. They're very loud and clear paired with an inexpensive Sony 2 channel 100 watt amp. I was hoping for better bass especially for the price point, but I'm not unhappy with the sound quality. These are leaps and bounds nicer than a portable bluetooth speaker.
