I did some research before purchasing these speakers, mostly through reading other's reviews of these and other outdoor speakers on Amazon and other forums. I have to admit a bit of a bias toward BA speakers, as I have several types scattered around my house. I tend to like their presence and even nature, even though the bookshelf and ceiling speakers tend to be a bit light in the bottom end (which is expected anyway).

These speakers primarily serve a 20'x20' patio and a larger back yard behind it. For the past few years, I've used a pair of Niles OS-6 outdoor speakers. Niles has always gotten great reviews for their outdoor speakers, but I find them to emphasize the midrange too much without a lot of bottom end. To me, they have always sounded muddy and "boomy", and the high end does not project enough out into the yard. While I've read that the newer OS series is an improvement, I'm hesitant to spend the money there, as they don't seem to suit my ear.

Among the BA outdoor speakers, the Voyager 7 seems to be the gold standard, with a lot of presence and resounding bass. I was not interested in spending the money on the 7's, so I gave the 6's a shot without hearing them and reading only one review specifically about them. I first connected to my basement system to give an initial listen, and was very impressed by their omnipresent sound; they project very well, but almost in an unnatural way inside a closed space. What I mean by that is that the imaging is very wide, with an almost 3-D spatial effect. I don't normally expect such a wide image, particularly with music, and so I was thrown off a bit, despite having read about this characteristic in the review. Nonetheless, the Voyagers have a rich a full tone, covering a broad frequency spectrum.

It is outdoors that these speakers absolutely shine! The wide imaging just explodes outside, sending quality sound everywhere. These speakers project very well. I was afraid of a weak bottom end, mostly due to favorable reviews of the Voyager 7's implying they were the only Voyager speakers to provide bass. I am happy to report that the 6's have great bass. Even my wife, who does not pay too much attention to the audio in our house, commented about what an improvement the BA's are over the Niles speakers. They are used exclusively for music, covering a variety of styles including jazz, rock, pop, flamenco, classical and oldies.

Overall, I am very happy with this purchase. The speakers are full and rich, cover a great frequency spectrum, and have great dynamics, imaging and presence. The music is lively but not artificially emphasized. I would recommend them to anyone.

Not much to say about these speakers. They are rugged, they produce all the volume you could want, and they sound great for outdoor speakers. They lack the bass punch of large indoor speakers, but that is to be expected with speakers this size, and I am not really expecting to do critical audio listening outdoors anyway. Indeed, I would say that the low frequency response of these speakers is surprisingly good for speakers this small.

Installation is simple and the color matches my vinyl siding quite nicely. :)

It would be nice if these speakers were less expensive. However I had a substantially less expensive set of outdoor speakers that I bought at a big-box store, and I got what I paid for. These speakers blow away those cheaper speakers in every respect.

If you are looking for outdoor speakers with good sound, and can afford the price, then I recommend that you consider these speakers.
