Amazon.com Product Description
Tired of leaving the door open to hear your music on the deck? It's time for a pair of high-quality outdoor speakers like the Atrium 45 from Polk Audio. The speakers each feature all-stainless-steel and brass hardware for years of rustproof reliability and a rustproof aluminum bracket that permits multiple mounting options and full 90 degree rotation: you can aim them to deliver the best possible sound in a variety of positions. The Atrium 45 speakers have a wide dispersion pattern, and they're very efficient, operating on as little as 10 watts per channel. They're designed to deliver good sound quality across a large listening area, but Polk recommends multiple-pair setups if you want high sound levels in an outdoor setting, as sound tends to dissipate more quickly outdoors than in. The speakers' white finish is paintable to match your decor or trim color--you can even paint them green to blend with foliage. Their sculpted front baffle and rounded enclosures minimize diffraction (sound reflecting off of hard edges) for more open and lifelike imaging, and their rustproof aluminum grilles offer 55 percent open area for better high-frequency response than speakers with denser grilles. Sealed-enclosure (acoustic suspension) cabinets result in taut bass, and the speakers' 2-way design incorporates a 4.5-inch long-throw polymer cone driver with butyl-rubber suspension and a .75-inch dome tweeter with a neodymium magnet to broadly distribute high frequencies. Gold-plated, 5-way binding post terminals will never corrode. The plugs also allow hookups in a range of methods, including convenient banana-plug-terminated speaker cable. The Atrium 45 meets or exceeds ASTM D5894-UV Salt Fog, Mil standard 810 Immersion and Mil standard 883 Method 1009 8 for salt and corrosion tests. What's in the Box
Two speakers (each with detachable metal grille and built-in mounting bracket) a user's manual, and warranty information.

 An Inconvenient Truth January 6, 2009
The product is not the problem - just dealing with the vendor. Any necessary returns are difficult. Shipping was inflated at $15 UPS, but it cost me $9.00 UPS to return. After a restocking fee of 20%, a $100 purchase cost $65. in just handling and shipping, and the vendor will re-sell the item. Futhermore it may take six weeks for them to credit the return?? MY ADVICE BUY LOCAL - where a return is handled as good will and much, much simplier.
 outdoor speakers December 20, 2008
Great sound, multiple mounting options. Not a stereophile, but they work for me. Enough to provide sound for a 12 x 24 deck without including the rest of the neighborhood.
 Nice Performers December 15, 2008
I like the sound from these speakers, however you may want to look at the less expensive Polk offerings if you just want to have them serve to provide background music on your patio.
Great outdoor speakers, awesome sound for the price! December 4, 2008
I bought 5 pairs of these for various outdoor areas around my rambling house; the sound is just terrific, no complaints, and I'm pretty picky. Clear and crisp, even at a high volume. The design is nice, simple, quality; great connectors, sturdy brackets; was easy to attach them and wiring was a breeze.
I have read comments from others that the grilles come off too easily...owning 10 of these speakers, not a single one has had this problem; they fit securely if you put them on properly, so I guess maybe they were careless in not pushing them in firmly enough? Anyhow, I haven't experienced any problems with them.
Other than the good reviews on performance, I selected these because I could paint them to match my house. I painted all 10 speakers an oregano (dull green) color, using satin finish spray paint, and they blend in great with my house color now, and don't stand out like they would if they were white or black, which is terrific. The painting is a bit of a pain in the butt, because of needing to take things apart to do a professional job, but it was worth the trouble; they look great.
Excellent speakers...somewhat directional November 26, 2008
Excellent speakers, a lot of quality for the price. They are quite directional, so you have to be aware of the listening positions when mounting. Able to handle robust sound level and a fair amount of bass boost.
