Amazing sound, Built for the outdoors
|
Having been once around the block with another manufacturer's "outdoor" speakers, I examined the Bose 151 set with a suspicious eye. But, Bose did not let me down.
For most people, the audio quality is what matters. Bose delivers - the sound is first rate with a nice bass response from a small set of speakers. I'm no audiophile, so I can't give you numbers or compare to another set. But let's just say that my pool deck sounds like my living room.
As for weathering, these have been in place about five months. They're mounted under the eaves of my house so they're somewhat shielded. But lest you think otherwise, they get plenty of exposure. We live in Florida about five miles from the beach, with a saltwater pool. The sunshine and saltwater have done no noticeable damage, even with yellowing. The enclosures appear to be glass-reinforced polypropylene which (as a former plastics engineer) is exactly what I would have chosen for such a product. The brackets also appear to be polypropylene, and not polystyrene - this means better weathering. I assume they have added light stabilizers to the plastic to be able to offer their 5-year guarantee. The white case and brackets will eventually yellow in the Florida sun, but that's a small concession to the environment and easily remedied with a little paint.
My pool deck is mostly white pavers, so steel rust spots are a big concern for me. This may be the only weakness with this product. Bose supplied galvanized steel screws for attaching the speakers to the brackets. For about a dollar or two, they could have (and I believe, should have) used stainless steel. However, this is again easily remedied by a visit to your local hardware store. I chose to install the supplied hardware; but at the first sign of rust, I'm replacing the screws with stainless steel.
