What do you mean by 'outdoor'?
I use normal speakers on my verandah so they're not in the rain at all.

Give me ambiguity or give me something else.

Hi
try Boston Acoustics Voyager Range - I have a pair and quite like them. They are built in a wedge shape to increase bass response in corners.
Clef Hi fi have the range on their website.
Otherwise you can get them off ebay cheap thro Grabitsales
Cheers Chewie

I've had Yamaha outdoor speakers previously (met with a sorry end due to some deficiencies in my installation technique....) - I was very happy with them
I now have Cambridge Audio outdoor speakers. They have quite a good sound, but can be a bit too heavy on the bass sometimes. I dont get too hung up on it though, as it is only background listening for me.

Yeah........I figure if the humidity eats the surrounds or they do happen to get wet I can just toss them and grab some more from the side of the road!
