[Employee of bestbuy] Running off a 65 watt per channel amp, very clear , bass as good as your gonna get outdoors with out a sub. Remember the bass is disigned to bounce off the house. I cant speak for mountng them in the open and has a 20 hour break in period.

I did a lot of research on some outdoor speaker and based on the previous reviews i went with these and I love them. I have them hooked up to Zone 2 of my Yamaha receiver and i can be outside and change the song, input, and volume all from my iPhone. I had the speakers turned down and went to the end of my yard and you could still hear them which is great.

I mounted two of these above/behind the listener/viewer. (Indoors) They have a very strong output, including bass. I often forget they are there until music or a movie call for them, but THEN they get my attention! Exactly the effect I was looking for when I designed my system. I've thought about adding a few for the backyard, but I'm afraid I'd blow the neighbors away. :-)

The Definitive speakers are awesome in sound quality,rich high in background music crisp voice, nice bass, versatile sound in left to right signals, with clear clarity midrange. The tweeters are outstanding. I purchased a second pair to cover a surround sound in our garden area. I AM waiting on the last speaker that is on backorder from Best Buy

Great speakers what I've been looking for with great audio and perfect bass. it feels like being at a party. Order it and enjoy it you will love it
