Polk Audio - Patio 200 5" 2-Way Indoor/Outdoor Loudspeakers (Pair) - White

These are great speakers, this is my second set of Patio 200s my first set is on my patio and this second set I put it pointing my pool, the bass is great and they are loud, these are better than the Atrium 4 and Atrium 6, I highly recommend these speakers.

Pro: Solid speakers, good power, good sound, easy install, plug and play, good value. Con: not much bass, kind of tingy sounding at very loud volume.

Sounds and looks great in the outdoors. Easy to install.

These are good sounding, clean looking speakers that are perfect for hanging under a patio overhang for your deck- Install time was under 10min with some toggle screws.

I e owned Polk Audio surround sound speakers for the last 15 years. I've had them hooked up to two separate Onkyo receivers over those 15 years... Just like the surround sound speakers this pair gives out incredible sound and you can even hear the smallest details in the speakers also. Makes it even better when I got them for $99 :-). You can't go wrong with this.

After reading many reviews and debating on spending lots of dollars on Bose I decided to buy these Polk speakers. I am not disappointed. For the money these speakers are great and I can fill my entire yard with sound if I wanted to. Powerful enough to disturb the neighbors if I wanted. I mostly listen to Rock and Country and both sound great. Nice full sound and crisp highs. Compliments the house well.

After doing considerable research, I opted to roll the dice and give the Polk Patio 200's a try. They appear to be identical to the Polk Atrium 5's with a slightly different grill. I believe Polk makes these specifically for Best Buy with slight modifications. I am still waiting for confirmation from Polk customer service to see if they are in fact the same speaker. Regardless, the overall build quality seems excellent. The mounting brackets and grills are aluminum so they won't rust and the other metal components are either brass or stainless steel, so you know these will last. Also, I've had bad experiences with Poly tweeters for outside speakers as that material eventually dries out and disintegrates. The tweeters on these speakers are aluminum so they should be more durable. They are mounted under the eaves so that will offer additional protection. These speakers are being powered by a Niles volume control. The sound quality is excellent given their size. The bass is surprisingly full for a small 5 inch woofer (you can't expect heaven and earth at the price point and size). Mids are very warm and highs are crisp. I could not hear any distortion even at higher volumes. For the money, I'm not sure you can get a better bang for your buck with the Patio 200's!

Added these to a gazebo on the deck out back, to compliment another pair of the same on the patio. For outdoor speakers, these sound great. Full sound coverage for gazebo and patio now, and perfect for entertaining.
