Polk Audio Atrium 45 All-Weather Speakers Review

Polk Audio Atrium 45 All-Weather Speakers (Pair, Black)

The number one plus for me; these speakers have been sitting on my deck, rain, shine, snow for 3 years and still working great.

-Great sound
-Decent looks. Simple style so it is easy to match with many landscape.
-Reasonable price. Outdoor speakers are generally expensive
-Easy installation
-Yoke is adjustable to direct the speakers at some angles

Tip: I think it will be a good idea to weatherproof the contacts of the speaker wires to the speaker connections with something like a silicon sealant. The connections got a little corroded due to the elements and I have to cut the tip of the wires to expose the new copper and reconnect.

Polk Audio Atrium 45 All-Weather Speakers (Pair, White)

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.

JBL Radial High-Performance iPod Loudspeaker Review

JBL Radial High-Performance iPod Loudspeaker (White)

I’m very pleasantly surprised with this speaker. I’m not an expert by any means, but I do have an ear for a good speaker, and this is good: the sound is rich and powerful to my ear. As for the negative stuff, I’ll echo some of the other reviews and say that the power button is in an inconvenient spot, and I wish there were a little more fine-tuning as far as volume gradation, but overall I’m very happy with this product.
