Digital camera reviews of Polk Audio Atrium 45 All-Weather Speakers (Pair, White)
Digital camera Review: Big sound for small price
Summary: 5 Stars
I listened to these speakers at circuit city where they were listed at $190. I thought they sounded as good as the other models selling for $300 or more. I checked the price on Amazon and could not believe they were only $125 with free shipping! I recently installed them in my screen room and they sound great. Fantastic sound and a great price.Digital camera Review: Cheap price for average sound!
Summary: 3 Stars
The price tag was great for the average sound. I saved $100+ buying them through Amazon. We live on the ocean and plan to replace them every couple years.Digital camera Review: Decent outdoor speaker for the price
Summary: 4 Stars
Polk Atrium speakers are a good choice if you're on a budget. The Atrium 45's need a lot of power to drive the speakers well. For the price, they're decent. They look great and sound good. Easy to mount, however they don't come with screws to mount the wall brackets. Hope they review was helpful.Digital camera Review: Deck Blaster Deal
Summary: 5 Stars
These speakers had nice separation and spatial presence, and good mid to high frequency response. They did need a bass boost to bring up the low end, give them some power and they will rock your outside world. Only had them for a month, so I can't say how well they hold up over the long haul. They sounded so good, I bought a second set as back-ups. Highly recommended and one heck of a deal at $75 a pair!Digital camera Review: Excellent Speakers
Summary: 5 Stars
I have been using these speakers for about 2 months, and I'm finding them to be one of my better recent purchases. I'll go through the main categories and give you my impression:
SOUND: Obviously the most important factor. I set these up in my living room and let them play for about 2 straight days in order to break them in a bit. Once I put them outside, they really shined. They fill our deck and pool area with a pleasing and musical sound. They are not going to get you a ton of bass, but at the same time the music sounds "full" and does not have a "tinny" or overbearing treble sound. My wife and I agree that these are nice sounding speakers.
APPEARANCE: I got the white ones, and they match perfectly under my gutter overhang. They're well made and look like a quality item to anyone that notices them up there.
INSTALLATION: Clearly this can vary, but I found them easy to install. Basically just screw in the holders, then attach the speakers to the holders. Running the cables to the speakers is the tricky part, but i managed to hide it under the gutter as well. If you're using them outside, you'll need underground low voltage wire (like they use for landscaping lights). I bought my wire at Home Depot - cheap, $17 for 100'.
VALUE: For the price (I paid $125 including s/h) they're an excellent value.
MISC - One huge benefit of these speakers is they require very little power to drive them. I'm using an old Denon receiver with 60 watts (30 to each speaker) and it's more than enough. I can barely turn it up before it reaches a level that would be annoying to the neighbors.
To anyone considering these speakers, I highly recommend them!
