Best Receiver To Drive Outdoor Speakers

We decided to go wireless and use Sonos to take away clutter and facilitate streaming and different music playback options in different rooms at the same time. We used to have an Onkyo 2 zone receiver running two amazing outdoor Bose speakers (prewired in our home) and a Bose Accousitmass 10 sorround system in our family room. To play the speakers outside we had to play the same thing in the Family room. It sounded good though. We replaced the Onkyo and indoor Bose surround with a Sonos Soundbar and we are 110% happy with that. We also bought a Sonos Amp to run the outdoor speakers. Now we can play different things in the different areas and the sound quality is phenomenal. The amp has more power and clarity than the old Onkyo receiver. I know this is a really expensive option, but for us, it was completely worth the investment!

I had an old set of outdoor speakers that I thought sounded great until I installed the BOSE 251s. The old outdoor speakers used to be powered by my old receiver/amplifier, but I replaced the receiver with the BOSE Soundtouch SA-5 Amplifier, and the 251s were the next logical upgrade. The music fills the deck and backyard with beautiful claer sound. I am very happy with the 251s combined with the SA-5 Amplifier.

Using the AMP to remove an old receiver and power outdoor wired speakers that still work well. (I'll upgrade to Sonos when they give out, but for now it's a great combo!)

These Definteive AW5500's are the BEST sounding outdoor speakers I have ever listened to. I have them installed on my deck in the back yard. AMAZING Low's with fantastic mids and highs to make the listening experience truly awesome.

Best outdoor speakers I have ever had! Deep, full bass and crisp highs. I'm amazed at the sound I can get outdoors with 2 simple speakers. Recently, a party got a bit out of hand. Unfortunately, both speakers were blown up. Totally my fault. Called customer service to find out if it was possible to purchase replacement parts. Without hesitation they shipped me the replacement parts at no cost. Took me 30 minutes to install and I was up and running again with great sound!!!!

Best value outdoor speaker for the money without exception! I have not been able to experience the bigger Polk outdoor speakers but I dont think they could be much better than these.

I have Bose 901 speakers which require an active equalizer so I need a preamp power amp combo. I have a Marantz 5 channel receiver to drive the center and other channels and this works great with the receiver to drive the 901s as the front speakers. B&H shipped this unit quickly and there were no problems.

Purchased this receiver to power a pair of Klipsch Quartet vintage speakers. This receiver has more than enough power to easily drive my Klipsch speakers to concert levels. No need for bells and whistles or a subwoofer in my setup. The receiver delivers all that is needed to listen to great stereo recordings from traditional media sources,

Best speakers ever..!!

Previously had a dedicated Yamaha outdoor amplifier to drive our SpeakerCraft OE8 outdoor speakers on our rear deck. Replaced with Sonos Amp. Although it's pricey, it sounds awesome and the big advantage is we can play the same music in our living room Sonos 5's as the outdoor speakers. So we can enjoy the same music in both locations. Very easy to install and set up. Sounds awesome.
