    Look great, sound great. Easy to install, two mounting options. The clarity is spectacular...low or loud. Very minimal distortion, if any.Paired with Sonos Amp, works flawlessly.

    I haven't actually hooked these up yet (bought 2 pair). I also no not consider myself an audiophile, but when I heard these over all the other options, there just was no comparison. Hands down, must have for outdoor speakers. You get what you pay for when it comes to speakers.

    I was looking for a speaker for my patio and I came stumbling on this Indoor/Outdoor B&W speaker. I read the specs and reviews but I was kinda hesistant at first because of the price, and I thought I give it a try. It struck to me the incredible detailed and balanced rich sound. Excellent choice. I never looked back.

    Is it expensive? Yes! But worth every penny! The costruction is perfect. Solid sound with with exceptional base reflex. I own many Bowers $ Wilkins speakers in my indoor Atmos system. They leave everything else behind. Save your money. Buy the best!

    Very modern looking speakers, sound is perfect, no need for a subwoofer. I have them on an exterior wall facing patio and sound quality is really amazing.

    Had Bose had JBL had Definitive Technolgy but these speakers blow them all away. I have been a B&W fan for years and should have gone directly to them when they first came out. GREAT

    Incredible out door speakers ! The geek squad made them work with my inside sound system and they are truly awesome in quality of sound. They also have a clever lock to make stealing them more difficult.
