Nice speakers for outdoors. Base response could be a bit better, but as long as you don?t blast them, they do a good job. Bought 4 of them and I?m more than satisfied with them for the $50 I paid per speaker.

Price is right and they sound awesome, wired them in front of my fence about 3’ and about 25’ apart. They create a surround sound with the omni coming off the fence. Get em!

I have three of these in a patio area around the pool--the sound is great, always clear, never distorted. They get loud enough but the bottom end isn't as great as the Bose garden speaker.

Still, for the price, they're incredible.

Real happy with the performance. I tried them for a party. The speakers sounded great with an old stereo. I hope they have a long life!

Great outdoor speakers for the price. Is this 50 characters?

We operate a small historic village situated on 54 acres offering private events, B&B, reenactments and other public events. We are interested in expanding our outdoor music reach to include a Native American village and other areas. We presently utilize 4 Bose freespace 51 in addition to structure mounted Polk speakers. Our new plans include the purchase of 8 additional burial type speakers for field installation and due to our limited resources, we decided to try 4 Monoprice speakers. For the purpose of our testing (music quality is very important for us) we removed (and cleaned) all 4 Bose speakers and added the 4 Monophase speakers to an outdoor and indoor testing area. Our amp system allowed us to play individual or all 4/8 speakers at once or togeter. The most telling results came from the 4 Bose and 4 Mono speakers operating as a group. We have played primarely early American music, Native American songs and himns, classical music and even some contemporary selections. Unfortunatley for our budget, the Bose speakers excelled in nearly every area at different voulume. The main differences were the much more pronounced bass and the greater "luminosity", brightness and live presence of the Bose speakers, while the Mono speakers sounded much more muffled and less responsive both in the base and high tunes. You can really hear and feel the presence of the two separate speakers in the Bose units, while one tester commeneted the Mono sounded like it was powered by only one full-range speaker instead of a true two way. We used the speakers in a conventional amp setting 8 Ohm and not the 70Volt setting (not available on the Bose speakers) . Based on our tests, we will have to tighten our belt and invest in more 51's for our primary areas and will have to confine the Mono's to periferial areas. Further, we will need to add an in-ground burial type (Niles) sub to supplement them. Too bad, we really had high hopes for these speakers!

Bought 6 of these along with the 240W 5ch 100/70V Mixer Amp (#18805) for the backyard. Loving it so far. Biggest selling point is that the 100/70v tap is built in (~$25 extra + more wiring on other speakers). So much easier daisy-chaining these together than running L/R wires all over the place. Bass is a little light, but I'm playing reggae and Jack Johnson so we're good.

great sound, easy install, and perfect for my backyard

This is an unbelievable product for the money, flat eq sounds great but once you eq it, the speaker really puts out good sound, 8 ohms has some kick to it, 70v operation seems to work really well. I personally own it and a TOA-bg-1120 120 watt amp. i will buy another speaker soon. it has smooth frequency response from the deepest lows it can put out to the highest highs.

CONS: leads could be better quality
