jagangjee Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 Guy - in need of some help here. Looking into a set of outdoor speakers and I am not sure what to get given that I cannot hear any of these where I currently live. I have selected these speakers based on price range, specs and reviews but I am torn as to which sets to get. Not looking to share my music with the neighborhood, but I do appreciate quality highs and lows when I am relaxing out back during the spring and summer months. These are what I am looking at: Klipsch AW-500 Klipsch AW-525 (are these that much better than the 500's?) Niles OS 6.5 Niles OS20 Any and all advice would be appreciated - looking to pull the trigger in the next day or so. Thanks to all in advance!

Rockets Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 I just turned an old set of Heresy's into deck speakers. Bought them really cheap, and shot the outside of them with a bedliner coating. I had my wife make a set of vinyl slip covers for when they're not in use. These may be too large for you're application, but I guess the message is not to limit yourself....

bhenry Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 I have a pair of AW650's and they sound pretty sweet. Even on the old Onkyo integrated amplifier in my garage, these do sound impressive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagangjee Posted March 30, 2009 Author Share Posted March 30, 2009 I think the 650's may be a bit much for what I am looking for. Any input from anyone on the 525's or if you looked into any of the Niles? Right now I am leaning towards the 1) OS6.5's 2) OS20's then 3) AW-525's.

flatgrass Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 I was deciding between 500s and 525s, and leaning towards the 525s. Then I came across a set of 650s and got a great deal on them. Yes, they are more than I need, but they sound great and cruise at the volume I use. Someone correct me, but once you move past the 500s, the 525s and 650s are front ported. I thought this might help in an open environment and the reason I was looking at getting at least 525s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
