Monoprice 2-Way Indoor/Outdoor Weatherproof Speakers - 5.25in (Pair), 40W Nominal, 80W Max, Easy to Mount to a Wall, a Pole, or any Vertical Surface

I wrote a review of these speakers about four years ago. I have now had them on my porch for just over five years. They are running off of an 8 watt tube amp (K12G) which is usually hooked up to an iPhone. The sound is still as pleasing as it was five years ago. Some of the white paint has flaked off of the grille on one of them, but it still looks pretty good. These speakers are outdoors all of the time, but are not directly exposed to rain. They live in Maryland, so they see 100+ degrees and high humidity in the summer and near zero degrees in the winter. I would buy these again or recommend them to a friend in a heartbeat.

I had a cheap set of outdoor speakers for years and they were...speakers...but definitely didn't sound good. I wanted to replace them for quite some time, and finally got these for just over $40. First of all, what do you want for $40?! But I've come to expect much from Monoprice. So, these were inexpensive, have a great build quality, and sound pretty darn good, again, especially considering the price. When I first heard them I went and told my family to come listen, all filled with glee! They sounded so much cleaner then my old clunkers. And, with a decent receiver, you can add a little more bass to get a better, fuller sound. These are not particularly booming on the bottom end. But, my ancient Team receiver kicked up the low end and they are tuned pretty well. Very happy with my purchase!
