Post Enviromental speakers for new house
Hi All. My wife and I just bought a new house. Strangely enough, the previous owners are taking a small pair or outdoor Paradigms with them. I guess they had a good salesman - lol

Anyway, I'm looking at something really obnoxious, over the top, to drop in, and came across these -

Anyone heard these? They look killer based on the numbers, and the Ridley AV site looks good, but it's a lot of coin to drop.

All comments appreciated.

I think for the prices they are not bad. If you can even find 8" out door speakers, They are usually at a higher price point from Paradigm or Boston or who ever.

I don't understand people that install 5 1/4" out door speakers. You want the largest most powerful speakers you can afford in your space.. ( or at least as big as your wife will allow)

I'm not far from that store and may be in the market for a pair as a gift.. Maybe I'll check em out one day. I have seen some of them at Bay Bloor in Toronto but I'm not going to pay a grand for one pair of out door speakers.

Also larger speakers will allow you to play the music softer and still hear all the detail in you backyard... Wait a couple weeks before you piss off your new neighbours.


Also don't run less then 14AWG to them.. I only had 16AWG wire around when I did a quick install at home.. Sounds like ass.. Whoops!

I installed the Ridley Acoustics KVW625 6.5 inch in wall speakers at my parents place.

They sound great!! My parents are very pleased with the sound and look!

HD_Guy did you ever purchase those Environmental Speakers?

I know my parents were very pleased with the Ridley Acoustics brand.
