Good Stereo Speakers for outside use during BBQs, evening pot luck dinners etc


I want to purchase (preferably used) a pair of good speakers to place in our back yard for get togethers with friends. I would like speakers that resolve well with clean highs and decent bass but nothing on the level of very high end. I will probably be running around 40 ft of speaker wire from a Pass X250.8

I'm just looking to have quality music in the back yard to enjoy with food, drink and non-audiophile friends. Easy set up and take down is desired as I really don't want to schlep my Vandersteen's in and out of the house every time I want music outside. Any suggestions for speakers and wire would be appreciated.

Seriously, check out some Cerwin Vega speakers in the XLS line.  Absolutely voiced perfectly for outdoor situations like you are describing.  I’ve  had an older set of the dual 15” models for years and they absolutely rock outside for parties and surprisingly smooth and subdued when played quietly.
