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.

I have a pair of JBL outdoor speakers on the back patio, not sure of the model (about 7 years old, didn't see anything current that looks like them)

And, I have a JBL l16 that I drag out on the front porch. Again, about 7 years old and couldn't find anything like it. Fortunately I have great neighbors and can turn it up (but never after hours). They never complain, just laugh at me if I have a few drinks and start singing along.

I do also have an older JBL charge and it is nice, but a bit weak. I imagine what I see JBL calling a boom box now would be pretty nice.

Yeah, I bought a lot of JBL, used to work for a division of Harman so I got some great deals.
