Bronze Member Username: PabloPost Number: 20 Registered: Mar-06 | I am looking for a help in choosing outdoor speakers. I have 23' x 20' deck as my whole townhouse backyard, with hot tub in it. In my living room I have NAD 743 with Totem Arro, so I want to connect some outdoor speakers to "B" speakers connection. Futureshop has Yamaha All Weather Speakers (NSAW150W) for $115 canadian (total with tax). I was offered Definitive Technology AW 100 at local store for $380 canadian (total with tax and maybe some outdoor monster cable included as well). I am assuming AW 100 are much better speakers but are they 3 times better as the price? I have neighbors all around so I can not listen loud so power is not an issue. Thanks Pablo |

Also for going outdoors where you have very little control of ambient sound, it does not make a lot of sense to spend money to get better quality sound that get's washed out anyways. Monster cables are another waste of good money. |
