Digital camera reviews of Polk Audio Atrium 45 All-Weather Speakers (Pair, White)
Digital camera Review: Great Speakers
Summary: 5 Stars
I installed by my pool. They look great, are easy to install and sound great. Look no further. Wonderful.Digital camera Review: Great Speakers Even Better Price
Summary: 5 Stars
This speaker sounds fantastic! I have them installed below my second floor eave and they sound absolutely terrific on my patio below. The sound is so full and rich, you would think you were sitting in your family room listening. I would definately recommend these to anyone looking for a great pair of speakers that won't break the bank.Digital camera Review: Great Speakers and Great Price on Amazon
Summary: 5 Stars
I've seen these speakers for $200 to $250 in 'brick in mortar' stores, so they were a steal at Amazon's price.
They were easy to install and sound great. I've seen others complaining about a lack of bass, but I personally do not have that problem. Sound carries differently outside, and without walls and other hard objects to 'bounce' off of speakers are going to sound differently outdoors. Placement of the speakers will also determine how they sound. For example, placing them up high near a ceiling will help give more bass.
Some outdoors speakers sound 'hollow', and are not capable of delivering a decent range for outdoor music listening. A song like 'Adagio In D Minor' still sounds good, and any speaker that can solidly reproduce the sounds on 'Adagio In D Minor' is okay in my book. These speakers sound great, and I think they are the best speakers you can buy at this price point.
Sure, you could jump into the $200+ range (on Amazon) for better sounding outdoor speakers, but unless you are a serious audiophile I wouldn't recommend spending the extra cash.
Digital camera Review: Great bang for the buck
Summary: 4 Stars
Fantastic deal on these speakers and they sound great above the new patio. They blend in great on the house (white siding), as well. The only negative I'd note is, as smaller speakers, they definitely tend to be a little on high sound of the audio spectrum. When I first hooked them up to the receiver in our living room, they sounded distorted and were cracking a little bit. I thought I had a problem on my hands, but after some adjustment, I realized that the treble was just too high for them on the receiver. I had to turn it way down to accommodate the speakers, but they sounded fantastic when I did. They've only been outside for a couple months, but I powerwashed (carefully) around them a couple weeks ago and they didn't show any ill effects. If you're an audiophile looking for a deeper, richer sound, these might not be for you. However, if you're looking for a great deal on a set of great-sounding outdoor speakers that just won't pump a lot of base, I'd highly recommend them.Digital camera Review: Great little speakers
Summary: 4 Stars
These are great little speakers. They appear very well made and were easy to install. Sound quality is excellent although as noted by some other reviewers they might be a little bright for certain tastes. I did not want thumping bass outside, just good clear vocals. These speakers certainly deliver.
