Seadog Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 My wife shocked me with these Klipsch outdoor AW-650 speakers. She gave them to me a little early, but I'm not complaining []. I would say she hit a home run! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arky Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 Hey I've been looking at those for my deck..have Klipsch HT 2 now. Please write what you think when they are set up. Merry Christmas to you. JT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators dtel Posted December 18, 2006 Moderators Share Posted December 18, 2006 Lucky guy, always wondered how they would sound. Most outdoor speakers you hear sound , well not so good, cant wait to hear what you think of them. Are they going outside or in a garage ? They look bigger than the average outdoor speaker.

Seadog Posted December 18, 2006 Author Share Posted December 18, 2006 They are going on the back deck. I will mount them under the eaves of the house, and they will be about 15' apart. Beyond the deck is the pool, so these should get a good workout on summer days (and nights). These will really save me a lot of time and trouble, as well as sound great! Since I can't stand to listen to a boom box, I always drag out a receiver, a CD player, and a couple of small speakers (usually my garage JBL P20s) when I'm spending time out there, and drag it all back in at the end of the day. I've been listening them in the living room using an HK430 receiver. They are the largest of the Klipsch Reference outdoor speakers, and they have a big sound, but are a little bass shy. The highs really sparkle (Christmas bells sound very life like for example - but what else would you expect from the Tractix tweeters []). I am really looking forward to mounting these outside.

Parrot Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 I see: I thought for a minute they were to replace your Klipschorns, one of which you can see in your picture. So did you receive them early so you could play Christmas music through them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So did you receive them early so you could play Christmas music through them? Actually, yesterday it was 80 degrees here, so we did yard work while listening to Christmas tunes. They're not mounted yet, but they still sounded good sitting in deck chairs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NOSValves Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 Seadog, You can just never have enough klipsch around the house! Great x-mas present and you even got to open it early. Man you must have a great wife. Craig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seadog Posted December 19, 2006 Author Share Posted December 19, 2006 You can just never have enough klipsch around the house! Absolutely! I ran out of room in the house, so I had to take it outside! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garymd Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 You'll LOVE them! I have a similiar pair on my back patio and they sound amazing. Doesn't hurt that they're hooked up to my VRDs/BBX.[] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seadog Posted December 19, 2006 Author Share Posted December 19, 2006 Gary, I would call that a serious outdoor system! (Now where did I put my backup LK-72? [Y]) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colterphoto1 Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 Those absolutely ROCK, we have them on the patio at Klipsch! Mrs. Seadog is to be commended for her excellent taste. Pretty tree too! Might I suggest the AW-800SW sub to match that system. That'll give it a little extra ooomph. 1-8" driver in matching enclosure.

PhilMays Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 You lucky Sea Dog!!! Very nice. I too am going to be curious on your impressions. I have finially told my wife, "Any woman wwho buys Klipsch speakers for their husband is the BEST!" I guess I'll have to use a more direct hint and tone! Enjoy Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael, I was looking at the specs on that sub on the outdoor products page. Maybe next year. How well does the AW-800SW perform using only a receiver and no sub amp? I see that it can be used with an amp like the RSA-500 subwoofer amplifier, or without a separate sub amp. BTW, I'll pass on the commendation to Mrs. Seadog.

sredmyer Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 Seadog you are indeed a lucky dog. I hope you will tell us know how these sound. I have been considering these for my sunroom (zone 2) to replace the Polks I currently use there. The Polks have a much sweeter sound. It is not that they sound bad it is just that I have become quite attached to the precision of the HF from my RF-7s in the main listening room. I will be very interested to hear your impressions of these speakers, specifically regarding their HF. IOW do they have that wonderful Klipsch sound? Anyway congrats on the new speakers and I look forward to hearing your impressions. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
