In keeping in kind with the its nearly summer and outdoor living theme I thought I'd give a quick review of some new outdoor speakers. My old cheapy KLH outdoors were crapping out so I figured it was time to upgrade. I went down to Best Buy to checkout their offerings. I listened to the Klipsche, Bose and Boston Acoustic and was landing on the Klipsche when the salesman said why don't we check the "Mag room" this is their higher end product display room. Long story short they played some AW5500 from Difinitive Technology. They were hands down superior sound quality than the others. They were certainly more money at $200 a piece but well worth the extra money.
--5-1/4 inch active driver pressure coupled to a 5 x 8 inch racetrack-shaped Planar Low Bass Radiator has total bass radiating area greater than an 8 inch woofer to belt out powerful bass that fills outdoor areas with rich big speaker sound--
When I got them home and hooked them up I was just as impressed if not more so than in the controlled environment of the Mag Room. They are extremely crisp and accurate with some nice warm bass resonance. If you're in the market I highly recommend giving them a listen.
