Listening by the yard: 7 outdoor speakers

Article Abstract:

Seven pairs of 2-way speakers, rated from 80 to 150 watts, are tested in outdoor situations with a small selection of source materials. They range in price from $200 to $500. The Rock Solid Sounds Solid Monitor ($299) both sounds and looks great, but all suffer in comparison with indoor speakers.
