This review is from: TIC Corporation TFS5CN 6.5-Inch 150-Watt Terra-Forms Rock Speakers (Canyon) (Electronics)

Was a bit worried due to a lack of recent reviews, but took a chance...and I'm glad I did. Not only does the color (canyon) of the speakers match my outside perfect, but the sounds of the speakers are quite impressive. My setup involves running a speaker wire from an inside Pioneer receiver. After drilling a hole in the wall, I ran the wire around the perimeter of my yard (which is going to be buried, I hate wires showing) to the speakers.

The connections for which you attach the speaker wire are very sturdy and I was impressed that the bottom of the rock speaker has a notch if you were trying to lie the speaker flat. The notch would allow the speaker rock to sit flush without pinching the wire (an undocumented feature in the reviews I read). I live in Las Vegas, so I'm hoping these speakers will hold up in the heat and will keep you posted if anything changes. I did however take the advice from different reviewers and I'm using a 14 gauge speaker gauge wire which feels just right.

I have a pretty decent size backyard and I'm fortunate that the speakers are sitting on top of a 5 foot retaining wall, which I think will help with the projection of the speakers. When I bought these speakers, I had a few goals in mind. I wanted a decent sound for a decent price. I wanted a low key style speaker rock that wasn't too large but wasn't too small. I wanted something that would not have any exposed wires or marking that would give away too easy that it was an outdoor speaker. I also wanted a clean sound that not necessarily focused on bass, but rather the mid and high sounds of audio...especially so it could take on the noise of my waterfalls which are quite loud. So far, I'd have to say that ALL of my expectations have been met.

I'm also using the Apple airport express to "beam" my music from my upstairs computer to the receiver downstairs, which in turn, powers the outdoor speakers. It certainly feels very cool that I not only use my iPhone to operate the music, but adjust the volume to the outdoor speakers as well.

I have been looking for rock speakers for few months that goes with natural rock formation next to our swimming pool. I ordered 2 speakers, but I did not like them. I was pleasantly surprised that these two speakers (that were very reasonably priced) did the trick. Also, Amazon did great job shipping quickly for free...

I bought these for my father for Father's Day. These rocks are a hot commodity and hard to find. These are amazingly priced and look like real stone. My father set it up in his backyard and they sound great! Nothing to complain about. I highly recommend this product. I accidentally hit the 1-day delivery so they did end up costing a fortune, so beware of that tricking button! :)
