The **beautiful design** blends seamlessly with my outdoor space, and they are built to withstand the elements.I paired these with a **SunFire amp**, and the **sound quality is simply awesome**—rich, clear, and powerful, even in an open outdoor environment. Mounting was **easy**, and the build quality feels **top-notch**, exactly what I expect from Polk Audio.I’ve been a **Polk Audio fan for almost 40 years**, and their **reputation for quality and durability** is well-earned.

Nice size and sound quality for outdoor patio space
I purchased these as replacements for outdoor speakers that were installed on a new-to-us house, but that were no longer working. I bought the white version, and they compliment our home’s exterior trim color nicely. Installation was a breeze — each speaker is bolted to the house with two wood bolts, then attach the wire, and that’s all there is to it.In my case, I am using a dedicated “left” and “right” speaker setup, so I cannot address how well these work when they are wired with both left and right speaker wires. I can say that you need to slide the switch/contact cover over on the back of the speaker if you are wiring them as “left” or “right” like you would for normal speakers, or else the sound is quite a bit softer. This makes more sense when you look at the unit itself–but there are two ways to wire each speaker, so follow the directions for your application and you’ll be fine.As you’d expect, there is not a ton of bass to these speakers, however when connected to a home-owner quality sound system (Sony), they sound quite good as an external speaker, and better than ones that we had at our previous house.I’m hopeful that I can get at least 5 solid years out of these speakers in order to justify the price. We’ll see how that works out, but I think Polk quality is quite good for my purposes, and I have confidence that it has been money well spent.

Great outdoor speaker.
Speakers appear well made. I have only been using them for a short time, so long term durability is somethingI cannot comment on. However, for a compact speaker they sound great and put out a surprising amount of bass.I was able to drive them quite loud without break up or distortion. I also like that they are 8 ohms which makes thempretty standard and compatible with virtually any amplifier.

Decent speakers for the price
For years I had Bose speakers on my sailboat but they are now so expensive. I got these and they are holding up well so far and sound good

Decent Sound for the $$$
I got these as well as a pair of Atrium 5s to compare. I set both pair up with my indoor McIntosh Pre and Amp and auditioned them for a few hours. The bass on the 5s had a sort of artificial sound lacking definition. The 6s sounded really solid and reasonably flat with the Tone controls bypassed on the pre-amp. I liked the compact size of the 5s and they would have been easier to mount under the eaves on my deck to replace some worn out Mirage speakers I had that sounded great. But I was worried about the bass.The 6s are much heavier and larger and more expensive. But I think they are worth it. Once I got them installed and played a set of tunes I use for setting up speakers (Fagen / The Night Fly, etc), the reinforced bass, with them now much closer to the wall than they were inside, was a lot. Now connected to a nice Marantz Pre and Amp, I may need to cut the bass and treble 2-3db to get a flatter response.The A6 can cover a large area and deliver plenty of bass. I don’t like over the top bass and prefer a flatter audiophile EQ, and these do that easily. I think the A5s may have worked, but the character of the bass sounded odd, so I never mounted them outside to try. Even reinforced by the wall, I don’t think I would have liked them as much.Beyond that, they were fairly easy to mount – the brackets have notched detents, so they don’t spin freely, which is nice – my old Mirages used to sag after a while.Overall, the sound seems mid-range weak, bright, and a little bassy. My old Mirage speakers sounded better, but they are no longer made. That said, I think I can dial them in pretty well with the treble and bass controls on the pre-amp.

I loved these speakers when I got them. I listened to music every opportunity I had.To my disappointment the tweeters stopped working and now sound dull and nasty.These speakers are rated 100 Watts. My Bluetooth amp is maxed at 75 watts with its current power supply. So can polk audio please explain why my tweeters are blown within 8 months of purchase. So much for all the research I did. I’ve never had tweeters blow on me. Now I’m trying to find replacement tweeters with no luck after searching Internet for a day.mlike how hard does this need to be.

I purchased the white Polk Atrium 6 speakers after comparing several brands including Bose and Yamaha. As an aside, I am predisposed to purchase Bose first (I still rock my Bose 901s), but the price point and reviews for Polk’s Atrium 6 were unbeatable. As it turns out, I am very pleased with my purchase. The Atrium 6 speakers were very easy to install single handedly, and fit perfectly under the soffit that is overtop of my outdoor deck. They compliment my decor and trim, which is also white. Sound-wise, they play a nicely balanced bass and treble with no equalization, and the sound projects quite well into the yard when the volume is turned up. Their construction seems to be rock-solid and made with quality materials. I think they will last quite some time. I do believe the tonal balance is sensitive to placement, and the closer the speakers are mounted to a back wall or overhang (they are ported speakers), the stronger the bass will be – this is quite well explained in the installation instructions and for my taste, installing them against a back wall and under an overhand provides a very good tonal balance at moderate sound levels. Once again, for the price I paid, this speaker is truly hard to beat, and I can definitely recommend them for outdoor listening.

Had these speakers out on my deck under a roof. They have been going great. The front metal grills are showing some corrosion but we are about 100m from the sea, but otherwise all good.
