Bose vs Yamaha outdoor speakers

[toniz]

Hi guys,

Looking to get some outdoor speakers , but can not decide.
I love bose , and have them indoor. The 251 look like good option, but read some very good reviews on the Yamaha NS-AW570, and they are cheaper too.

Does anyone has experience with any of the above?
Pro's con's?

cheers

"Yamaha NS-AW350 Indoor/Outdoor Speakers

Strengths: Very nice sounding speakers. Excellent frequency response: 55Hz-40kHz (87dB)40watts nominal/ 130watts Max.
Weakness: None noted.
These sound as good to me as my Bose 251s. They are an "old school" design but I like them. They were easy to mount on the deck. Installation took about half an hour. The only thing I'm still concerned about is how well they will endure harsh Minnesota weather. Time will tell. I expect that the rubber surround on the 6 1/2 will eventually fail. But until then...we're rockin'!!! I would strongly recommend using two pairs if you can afford it. That really does a lot to improve the sound and the coverage, especially at lower volume".
