Excellent! I have a pair of Atrium 4’s that have performed admirably for over ten years! Those were purchased and deployed pool-side at our former home. Like them so much that I took them with me to our new place. Upon moving our pool/patio area size increased substantially. The 4’s were still part of my overall plan but I wanted to increase coverage and my speaker count to four and thought a next size speaker up with a bit more bass might be in order. Over time, I ordered/tried two other, popular and well rated outdoor speakers to fit the desired need and for various reasons returned both. Quite frankly, neither sounded any better than my old 4’s. Both cost more. I then ordered some Prime Days, “used-like new” 5’s for a fantastic price ($148) and am delighted that I did😁 Third time/try was indeed the charm! Not only do they fill the space with quality/balanced tone, I now know that my outdoor sound 🎶 needs are more than satisfied for many dependable years to come! There’s a reason that this Atrium series from Polk has been the outdoor standard setter for over a decade, I should have never wandered/doubted. Lesson learned.

Great speakers!

Loving them!!!! I've had these on my list for over a year while planning and performing my basement remodel. While doing that I ran speaker wire out to my back patio from my planned home theater in the basement. I'm glad I stuck with them instead of going with another brand. (Though I have nothing to compare them to). Very nice sound stage imaging that I did not expect from outdoor speakers. Bass is quite good for the size. You obviously will not get as much as my Infinity Primus 363 Towers (or a 12" subwoofer), but it's much better than expected. Amazing creative, functional and sturdy built in mounting brackets! I used #10 screws to mount the brackets (keyhole) to the overhang underneath my roof. I put one screw through the stud and the other only through my wood siding. The speakers are pretty light weight (4 pounds) and easy to handle and I feel that they are 100% sturdy and will not fall. The speaker is super easy to remove from the bracket and just as easy to attach. Great for bringing your speakers inside during the winter! Problem: The banana plugs (Monoprice) that I have are too long for the cavity where the binding posts are. I pushed them in and are working for now, but I would feel better if I got shorter ones that fit all the way in there. I'm using my 2nd zone on my Onkyo Receiver. The remote app is awesome. You can select your source, pause and skip songs and control the volume straight from the app. You can power on the 2nd zone without turning your whole receiver on and can do it all from the app. It is so cool! You just have to have your receiver connected to your network, wired or WiFi and have your phone on WiFi. Rocking out!

I first hooked up the speakers indoors using the cables from my old but still beloved KEF 104/2 set. There was obviously less bass in these Atrium 5s than the floorstanding KEFs, but I was struck by the excellent clarity and imaging. Convinced they were OK I mounted in the lanai (35' x 12') where we had an aging pair of BOSE 101S until 1 died after 15 years outside in FL heat and humidity. I mounted them on the ceiling about 1 foot from the side and back walls, where the 101s were mounted. Holes didn’t line up but I had some wall anchors rated at 15 lbs/ea. that worked. The sensitivity was almost an exact match to the 101s. Since we listen mostly to jazz I started with the Bill Evans “Riverside” disc )personal favorite) and loved the texture of the piano. The 101s made it sound like a percussion instrument where the Atriums made it sound more like a stringed instrument, if that makes any sense. The stand up bass was clear and resonant. Miles Davis’ horn on Blue in Green sounded rich and crisp. I tried vocals which seem to reveal crossover problems but all including a variety of female voices (Ronstadt, kd lang, and Bonnie Raitt) sounded clear and smooth with no holes in the response. The bass actually sounded better on the lanai probably due to the proximity of the ceiling and walls. Our old favorite Steely Dan is playing now with all their great instrumentals and the vocals clearer than before. So far I am very happy. Some hard rock lovers (I do listen to that also) may prefer the old “JBL sound” that artificially boosts the lower midrange for warmth and increases the high end for more punchy dynamics. In listening to the Eagles Hotel California (a favorite) the dynamics seem a little flat but the band was famous for layering multiple analog recorded tracks which results in limited dynamics and the speakers are just reproducing what’s there. Tone controls can help if desired. Would I have liked the 6s better? Probably, but I am very happy with the 5s on the patio and at the price (the white ones had a really good price for some reason) they are a steal.

Despite the panicking both speakers grilles canne surf a slight dent as shown in three pictures.

Buona timbrica, per il costo. Un po' troppo vicini tra di loro i morsetti di connessione.

Excelentes en calidad de audio y de construcción. Se le ve muy muy robustos tanto el propio altavoz como los anclajes a la pared y los conectores. Además me han costado prácticamente la mitad que en otro gran almacén. Muy recomendables.

Super Boxen mit einem satten Bass! Kann die Teile nur empfehlen!

Fácil instalação no teto, suporte muito bom
