They met my expectations.
I purchased the Polk Atrium 45 outdoor speakers about a month ago, and for $113, I am pleased with their performance. Some of the reviews I read criticized their bass performance, and they are a bit lacking in bass, but given their size limitations,they do OK. They are bookshelf-type speakers, for crying out loud, and I don't have an outdoor subwoofer. I mounted my speakers on 4x4 posts on my deck inside (believe it or not) foam coolers that are slightly larger than the speakers. This affords me complete weatherproofing, as the lid seals the speaker in when not in use. I used washers on either side of the foam when mounting them. The bass really livened up with the white foam surrounding them. And no, it doesn't look tacky. The overall sound of this set is better than the Polk speakers they replaced, and with the addition of another set, I will be quite happy. I live in the country, and can crank them up as loud as I wish.
With outdoor speakers, most people are forced to listen to one mode unless they wish to run inside and change CDs or stations on the sattelite radio. For years I have used the X-10 Powermid and can listen to anything I wish -- this is an infrared remote control extender that looks like pyramids. I have one inside (with infrared sensors placed close to my equipment) and one outside. I use my Logitech Harmony remote outside and can access anything that I can inside, including TV sound, sattelite radio, audio DVD, over the air radio, and CD. The Harmony remote automatically changes from one mode to another and controls the volume. I have had the Powermids for years and assume they are still manufactured. There's no wiring, just plug both small (3"x4") units into AC outlets.
But back to the Polks, for the money I paid, I have no criticisms. I just ordered another pair to augment the first two.

better than expected
We recieved these and got right to work installing them in our backyard. My husband and I both agreed that they were easy to install and sound better than we thought.

Speaker Review
Nice little speakers with wonderful sound. Installation is easy, mounting brackets very functional can be mounted vertically or horiziontally. Would of given them 5 stars except you are required to paint them. However after taking my time and getting paint to match my deck they look great and blend in nicely. Just installed them so can't comment on the all weather feature. I live in the rain forest of Hawaii so it will be a test.

Great DEAL
I have never ordered from Amazon before, but will do it again. This was the cheapest anywhere I could find these speakers. They arrived on time and were brand new. I paid just about half price for them. I m considering ordering a second pair to give sound the whole back yard.
