Architectural Monitor Outdoor Speakers
 

Bowers & Wilkins - Architectural Monitor 5" 100W 2-Way Indoor/Outdoor Loudspeakers (Pair) - Black.

Does anyone have any experience with these? Best Buy's Magnolia store has a good deal on them. I have only ever used inexpensive outdoor speakers. I guess my main question is whether the benefits of a quality speaker like this can justify their cost in a backyard setting.

I have them and really enjoy them. I was very pleasantly surprised by the sound quality of all of the music I played through them. They have great bass for a 5 inch driver and do a fantastic job providing music for my outdoor space. I am using the rear channels of my McIntosh Mc8207 and the zone 2 output of my Marantz 7702 Mark2.

I will be purchasing another pair for my Sunbrite TV as the soundbar in the words of my wife "sounds terrible and needs to be replaced as soon as possible"

Please PM me on the price you found at BB. Thanks, Jim

I have the predecessors, the WM6. After at least a dozen years in Michigan weather, they still sound excellent.

I would grab the speakers if there is a good deal on them.

Hope this helps.

Thanks everyone, I appreciate the responses. Steve

Great outdoor speakers!
 

I replaced old Niles speakers which were the largest outdoor speakers at the time. This upgrade far exceeded my expectation! They sound incredible! Highs and bass response are fantastic for a home system, but these are outside! If your looking for high end sound for your outdoors, these are the ticket. You can tell by their design a lot went into these. Even the mounting system is so unique.

What speakers did you select and where did you purchase?

Bowers & Wilkins AM1. Easily the best outdoor speaker at that price.

They look good, nice clean install. Must be nice having quality sound outside!

Winter storage
 

Any suugestions for winter storage? Do you bring them in and or cover them? Mine are exposed so not under any house carport.
