Simply put, these speakers are amazing. I wanted new outdoor speakers for my 30x18 patio and BBQ station area (last summer scrapped my gas grill for a kettle charcoal grill and love grilling outdoors more than ever). I was replacing a pair of workhorse Infinity Outrigger Jr. speakers that served me well for 18 years, and still sound as good as the day I first installed them. But I wanted something with more detail at low volumes, and more bass punch, which could also handle larger wattage when the situation demands it. The search was on. An old JVC 5.1 receiver (120 watts RMS) in the basement powers a set of JBL speakers in the basement, and my outdoor speakers on the patio (A/B outputs on receiver). I love keeping old equipment in use if it performs well. We can rock out to my old LP records in the basement or the patio. I also have an old laptop (Windows Vista circa '2005) I use as my digital music workstation. It has all my mp3 files and streams Internet radio with ease. It's the perfect use for a laptop that can't do most other laptop activities in today's world. If you have an old laptop collecting dust, make it a media player for an old stereo/home theater system and you'll be shocked how nice it works. I compared Yamaha, Polk, Pyle, Klipsch, Insignia, Boston Acoustic, and Bose. The clear winner, when price is factored in, was the Yamaha NS-AW350. The Bose 151 Environmental sound was good, and it may be the favorite of people who like their signature sound. Certainly a classic outdoor speaker. Klipsch was very good, but also very pricey, at several times the price of the Yamahas, with comparable sound quality. The Boston Acoustics speakers sounded nice, while lacking some bass, but the compact cube would be useful for hiding them away in corners. The Yamaha, though, is as good or better, at half the price of the Boston Acoustics, with superior sound quality. I would stay away from Pyle, unless price is your ultimate consideration. They definitely sounded OK for the money. Not sure how the build quality is, though. The Insignias were nothing special, either, and well behind the Yamahas for about equal cost. The smaller Yamaha NS-AW150 was quite decent for a little brother version, but for an extra twenty bucks, you get so much more depth of sound with the NS-AW350. I would not hesitate to buy the NS-AW150 if a smaller speaker is required for an outdoor space. The NS-AW350 is on the larger side (which also greatly helps the bass response). There's no hiding these speakers. Fortunately, I have no desire to hide these wonderful speakers. They sound excellent at low volume, when chilling to NPR or relaxing music, but they really shine when pushed. The treble is crisp, but not grating. The midrange is well balanced. The bass response defies logic. The volume these can put out will quickly bring the authorities, or at least an angry neighbor. These speakers can easily drown out a gathering of 50+ people. For versatility and cost, these speakers cannot be beat. Yamaha should double the price, and they would still be the best speakers going at their price point. The only negative is the mounting brackets. They do not allow much movement, and only support one plane of movement. My old Infinity's allow me to install the mounts for tall or wide aspects, and tilt a good amount, so you can direct the sound where you need it. The Yamaha brackets provide only a small amount of tilt movement. I may fabricate an angled device to provide more slant for the speakers when mounted. Hardly a negative that would put me off these speakers.

Great option for outdoor speakers. Easy to install and incredible sound, with actual bass! I spent a significant amount of time researching on outdoor speaker options, and by far, these were the best. Although these are a few model years old, they still pack a great punch.

Tiene un audio de excelente calidad, es muy buena experiencia escuchar música en estos altavoces, compraré otro par, los recomiendo.
