I preordered a set of the outdoor M3ti speakers in "spiced rum" for our pool.
Just wondering if anyone else has preordered?
I haven't been all that active, recently, so I'm wondering if anything has been said about delivery dates.

I preordered a pair of Almond Bisque the day that the club letter came out. Here is the info from Ian on them. We are producing our Algonquin Weatherproof Outdoor Speakers, named in a contest on our message boards this month. These speakers, based on our award-winning M3 Bookshelf Speakers, come in Almond Bisque, Arctic White, Spiced Rum and Cape Cod Grey, and will be available on our site April 4th, shipping April 15th.

Whites ones about a week ago!
The price was too good to pass up.

Thanks guys!!!!!
Bug, I should have known that you ordered a pair!!! You and I think too much alike. LOL!!!
The price sure was good and I have been pleased with my other Axiom speakers so I didn't have to look around too much.
After 10 months, I am still moving and packing, and unpacking and moving. It is surprising how much "stuff" you can accumulate in over 25 years. I had NO idea that I really was such a pack-rat. Guess my alias fits! LOL!!!

Really haven't given it much thought. Ultimately, I plan to mount them on the wooden supports that hold up the rear deck and have them facing the pool.

I'm a bit confused here...these do not look like the ones featured in the Axiom showcase last month - those were wireless speakers (with a solar panel I believe). Are the wireless speakers still on the docket, or have they been replaced by the wired model?
I'm chomping at the bit for some outdoor speakers, but don't want to buy if there is more than one option.

Axiom had in the works both a wired and wireless version. The wired version is now available, but not the wireless. I believe they are still planing on a release for the wireless models, just aren't there yet. Not sure when but we expect to see them at some point.

For those that are going wired how are you planning to route the wire to the outside? I have brick that makes things a bit difficult. Also, with the connection to an amp/receiver inside the house is there an issue with water getting in the binding post/speaker wire?

For me, I plan on going through my attic and then dropping the wire through the eave. Given that location, I'm hoping the posts won't get wet. I have a separate receiver dedicated for this purpose and is in close proximity to the speakers. I probably won't need it, but I'm thinking about getting a BPA-1 from Emotiva to give them that extra little boost.
