bigyank Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 I figured I would ask, who uses Klipsch outdoor speakers and if so, what models? I have a pair of SA-3's (in white) which I run via a Sansui AU-G99X 160 watt/ch vintage integrated with about 90 feet of 12 gauge ground rated OFC wire per channel. Separated about 30 feet per channel, ear level (vertical mounted) and about 15 feet back from the end of my 20x40 foot deck. Currently since the nights are getting way below freezing, the speakers are sleeping in their original packing in my basement. I am SO ready for spring!

Myhamish Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 not a Klipsch outdoor speaker exactly but here's a story. I've got the attic in my old house set up as a computer and listening room. The house sits high on a hill looking over a few blocks down to a river valley then over to the other side. Once just for fun, I opened the front window completely, hauled a LaScala up on top of a trunk and turned it around so it was facing out the window, put Metallica's Black CD on at moderate volume, then went for a walk. Down in the valley, you could hear it at background level, but across the river facing the house again, you could pick up most of the midrange and a little high end. Later that night, I played a sound fx recording of an old steam train (tracks long gone from town), let it rip and then quickly put my toys away. Hurry spring! I'm up here in a parka right now with a space heater cranked instead. Hamish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago_Pete Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 20x40 deck! Wow, I think thats the size of my whole house? I wouldn't subject a pair of Klipsch to outdoor duty here in Chicago. I use JBL's:) Pair of 2500's on the patio and L100's in the garage. Never had a problem yet. Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
