I know there are threads in this forum asking for info about outdoor speakers and them don't seem to get much attention, which is understandable. Just wanted to give some proactive information. I have had the Polk Atrium 4 for about a year and am, well, underwhelmed. I recently purchased the Kef Ventura 6 speakers and I was able to find a great deal on Part Express.. These are a really great speaker and if you can get them for 200/pr and need a great set of outdoor speakers (especially with spring right around the corner...), I would recommend these as really nice sounding speaker at a great price- Parts express has had these on sale for the 200-250/pr, on and off for the past 6 months! Good speakers...
