Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description
AudioSource's LS525 indoor/outdoor speakers are designed for durability, ease of use, and quality sound from small enclosures. You can mount them from the eaves or in a partially covered deck or patio using the supplied mounting brackets or position them indoors on a shelf or on individual stands (not included). You can even use them as surround speakers for a home theater (or, with 2 pairs, as front and surround).

Despite being small (6.6 x 9.5 x 7 inches, W x H x D), the LS525s each feature a 5.25-inch reinforced polypropylene woofer and .75-inch polycarbonate tweeter and can handle up to 125 watts per channel from your integrated amplifier or surround receiver. They're easy to hook up and can accommodate almost any kind of speaker-wire connections (up to 12-gauge wire). The speakers' binding-post speaker terminals simplify hookups and ensure high-fidelity sound.

The speakers come with color-matched brackets for mounting and nonslip adhesive pads for shelf or stand positioning.

What's in the Box
Two speakers, color-matched mounting brackets, self-adhesive "feet," and a user's manual with installation instructions.

Note: The LS525s are manufactured to resist a variety of weather conditions, but they're not waterproof, so if you decide to place them outdoors, position them so they're not directly exposed to the elements. The undersides of most eaves and overhangs provide the best protection.

Product Description
The LS 525 retain the stylish wedge design of the LS 300 and LS 400. Their larger size provides for more power and better bass response. This is another speaker that sounds better than you might expect from a compact speaker. Allied with a small powered subwoofer, they provide a full sound while occupying little space.

3.0 out of 5 stars Flat and natural responce, June 11, 2002

By	Robert T. Johnson (Chicago, IL USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I purchased this set to replace a pair of KLH's 905b and that was being used as my main front speakers to my DTS system. I found the AudioSource to be very flat and more natural than the KLH's in the voice range. I plan to move the KLH's back to the front and use the AudioSource for the rear speakers. I found the AudioSource a bit to flat for my use. I like the sparkle on the highs that the KLH's gave, sinch the center speaker carries the main vocials. Other than the flat or natural or a better term dull sound and I am not sure I would use the AudioSource outsied, sinch the case is ported the weather could enter the speaker, unless used under an overhange.

4.0 out of 5 stars lacking bass, June 13, 2007

By	S. YEE - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

highs are fine, lacking some what in bass, but this may be due to location of speakers, mounted in eaves. but for $30 will do the job.

5.0 out of 5 stars great buy for the money, January 19, 2009

By	Kenneth S. Llave "hidef rules" (Anaheim, CA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

It's an inexpensive addition to the backyard with an expensive-like result. I've gotten more compliments from guest about the sound (highs and lows, not so much of mids) but it blew them away when they found out I spent more on speaker wires than the speaker itself. I highly recommend it to people with a small to medium listening area. My backyard is 60'X35' and it's more than enough, but I've seen way larger yard spaces and that I cannot make any recommendations for. But if your yard is as big or smaller than mine, and have a good amp, (use a fair ga. Wires, the longer the run, the thicker) then you're set.
