Summary: After All The positive Reviews, I had to leave mine....
Review: I was in need of some outdoor speakers, and after reading all the positve feedbacks on these speakers, I just had to give them a try. I am glad I did. Hanging them was a breeze, and the wire to hook them up almost cost as much as the speakers! We are delighted with the sound. We had just built an above ground pool, and deck, and these speakers make outdoor activities great! They look great too! We have white siding, and they just about hide under the eavesment. You can crank them and really jam, and they dont distort too bad. But, if your like me, you just want them loud enough to enjoy the song, and conversation on your deck. If you are in need of great outdoor speakers, do not pass these up! Amazon makes it great too, with free shipping! Enjoy!

Summary: Unbelievable value if you have reasonable expectations
Review: I was looking for a pair of speakers to mount on the eave above my deck. Based on the reviews and the unbelievable price ...with free shipping I gave these a shot. I was not looking to shake the earth, just to enjoy moderately loud music on my deck and in my backyard. I'll agree that the brackets are a bit on the flimsy side, but as soon as I hooked everything up I was flat out astounded at the rich sound quality .... Sound quality is comparable to our ... Cambridge Soundworks ensemble speakers in the living room. I am especially thrilled about the lack of directionality (imaging?) as I was worried that I would have to mess with the balance a lot to get good stereo sound depending on where I was standing relative to the speakers but it is not a problem at all. I'd buy them again in a second!

Summary: Great Sounding Speakers
Review: I was skeptical about buying these speakers. After all,I was replacing 25 year old 27x18-54lbs speakers. I was impressed with the sound. We placed them in 35x45 foot bulding;with 15ft ceilings. At three quarter volume,they fill the room will clear,undistorted sound. They are definatley worth every penny. I seen speakers that cost more money and don't sound as good. Another good feature is that they are indoor-outdoor speakers which is good for me because they are in an unheated building. I would buy these again without hesitation.

Summary: Very nice for the price!
Review: I was very surprised by the sound these speakers produced. They are not Bose but for the price they sounded great. I use them out side on my deck mounted just under the eves to keep them from getting too wet since they are just water resistant not water proof.

Summary: Good Value
Review: The Audio Source LS 400 are a pretty good sounding speaker for the price. They are not Weather-Proof, they are weather resistant - so they need to be mounted under an eve or overhang. The brackets are ... plastic. If you are looking for a speaker to rock the neighborhood - these are not it. If you are looking for a low price decent sounding speaker - then these are a pretty good choice.

Summary: Great speakers at an afforable price!!
Review: The Audiosource LS 400 Speaker pair ...is a great value! The sound quality rivals speakers at a much higher cost. Clear, crisp highs and lows, a very rich music reporduction, especially when used with a CD or DVD, which makes it the perfect choice for home theater! I ordered two pair!

Summary: Good, but the LS200 is Better
Review: These speakers (LS400) are pretty good. However, even though they are rated at 100W, and the LS200 at 50W (Both from Audio Source), we believe the LS200 speakers reproduce the audio frequencies more accurately. Both use the same 4" polypropylene woofer, but the tweeter arrangement is quite different. This undoubtedly is responsible for the better performance of the LS200. (The LS200 uses a mid-range and a high frequency tweeter as opposed to a single tweeter in the LS400.) The 50W capability of the LS200 should be adequate for most applications.The mounting brackets supplied with both speakers are nothing to brag about, but, the LS400 brackets are made of plastic while the LS200 are at least made of steel. The spring clip wire terminals work well (the same on both). These same clips are used on some much more expensive speakers. These speakers are a good buy but the LS200 speakers are a bargain.

Summary: Good Speakers at an Unbeatable Price
Review: These speakers are mounted inside my back patio and driven by a 100W Sony receiver. Given their size and price, they produce very good sound, especially with rock/pop music (the treble is a bit too strong with country music). For use as patio/deck speakers to listen to music while you relax, barbeque, or swim, these speakers are a great deal.

Summary: Great for the money
Review: These speakers are quite nice. The have good sound and I doubt that you could find any thing better even at twice the price. I would not ever compare these to a set of Bose outdoor speakers, but then they are a fraction of the cost. They have a nice full range at moderate levels, but if you start to push them too hard the bass begins to break up. Not unexpected for a 4" speaker. I have them mounted under the eves out on my back patio and they offer a great sound for background music. They make our backyard more enjoyable and fit our bill perfectly. I would recommend these speakers if you are looking for a nice pair of outdoor speakers at a reasonable price and you do not want to recreate a high end system outside. One item of note is that they recommend that you mount these in a location where they are not subject to direct exposure to the elements. I'm not sure what that implies here, but to acomodate their recomendation, I moved the location slightly to keep them out of a direct hit from the rain.

Summary: Good Sounding Speakers for the Value, chintzy enclosure
Review: They stand up quite well to the outdoor elements under a protected area, yet don't seem to hold up well exposed to direct sunlight, especially in a southern exposure. Mine have turned a slight dingy yellow. The white plastic enclosure seems to be a dirt magnet, so regular cleaning will keep them looking bright. Aligning the speakers to the mounting screws can be a little tricky for the farsighted. And yes, you can pump plenty of music through them without the fear of blowing them out.
