Awesome sound and great shopping experience

This is an ambitious speaker for the money, boasting an 8" woofer with an advertised 30hz frequency response. Freshly installed, with no EQ, you will likely be unimpressed with the bloated, boomy low end that rattles the hard shell enclosure and grill in a most unpleasant manner. Before you pack them up and write them off, filter anything under 100hz off to your subwoofer (you do have a subwoofer, don't you?) and they will shine. There are definitely better speakers available, but remember, this is an outdoor speaker and will likely be subjected to all manner of unspeakable environmental abuse that will require replacements every few years. At this price, those replacements are easy to swallow.

Running a pair of the AP850s on an 550 sq foot patio and open to about a 1500 sq foot listening space and they fill the area nicely. They are spaced about 18 feet apart and still get decent imaging with this setup. I've very pleased with them - hold they hold up well!

This is my second pair of patio speakers I bought from OSD. These are replacing my AP840 speakers that bought in 2006. They sound awesome!

I was looking for a pair of outdoor speakers that produce high end audio. The AP850 did that wonderfully at a great price. I wanted to be able to listen to my fairly high end turntable vinyl on the patio and not feel let down. The AP850's hit that mark. On the patio, I wanted to be able to hear high end audio at generally low volumes and hear the detail my TT cartridge pulls out of vinyl record grooves. The speakers are set up fairly high on a 12' ceilings with tweeters spaced about 6' apart with the speakers pointing to listening area. The detail from the tweeters is awesome at about ~10' listening distance. The midrange is well balanced and the bottom end is tight and clean. Like I said, exactly what I expected from these speakers. Well done OSD!

We purchased these speakers for our softball field and we are very happy with them.

This is the second set I have purchased. These are the best outdoor speakers you can find!

I have them up against an older set of Niles . They hold their own. Hope they last.

After installing I was blown away at the powerful beautiful sound these speakers produce! From the clearest highs to the rumbling lows! If you are on the market for patio speakers look no further!! These are the best bang for your buck out there, I've been researching outdoor speakers for awhile, went to checkout speakers at Best Buy and they wanted over $500 for the same specs and quality as these on name brands like JLAudio, Polk and so on. Even my neighbors were amazed, I'm an experience audiophile and I have these powered by an Onkyo receiver and fine tune with equalizer, but to be honest I never thought these speaker were going to sound this great! Now I can have a full blown music pool party!! Built quality feels awesome, looking for many years of use!

This is my third set now, We just sold our home up north and had four of them mounted in the trees and the sound was excellent. Sold the home and the new owners wrote them in the contract. So time to start over. Great sound

If your looking for the best... look no further, 200watts per input, 37Hz to 22Khz, and quality build... I had a pair that recieved 7yrs of daily hard usage, and my friends couldn't believe the sound quality at all volumes... I bought a new pair as I finally wore out the rubber surround on the 8" woofers... These compete with Bose as a friend has a pair that are comparable, but more expensive... ~Sorry Bose~ I'll keep using the AP850's

And I only gave them four stars becuase of a small issue. After 7 years of harsh Long Island Winters, Hurricane Sandy, Heat waves, torrential rains, etc... these speakers still blow me away. My budget has increased significantly since I first purchased these, and if I needed more outdoor speakers I would still get these. They are even $50 less than I paid in 2008! I power these along with an old stereo rock speaker discontinued by OSD (what a shame!) with a nice Denon stereo amplifier 100 wpc, and everyone I know compliments the quality of sound. The Bass is remarkable- especially considering these are outdoors. Seperation and the high end is also fantastic. Trust me, for the money or even significantly more, you cannot get better sounding patio speakers.
