That's what I may do as well. These will be outdoor next to the pool on the cabana, so I think to have a water resistant speaker would make me feel better and less worries if they do get wet. Can you describe the sound a little more? What do you have for source and power? They're very detailed and crisp, much better than I was expecting. I am running them off of an Onkyo TX-SR805 and the source is Pandora (from Directv). Of course they're a little bass shy but that was to be expected. The bass they do produce is tight though, just not very "deep". I'm trying to find a deal on the AW-800 sub (discontinued) and the system will be perfect.
You will love the way they sound, but just remember they are pretty big speakers, considerably bigger than I thought they'd be.
Thanks I appreciate your time for the review What do you think of these, I may ****** em up: http://www.ebay.com/itm/151063740127?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649#ht_3268wt_906
