Just for fun, I took my regular M3's outside last weekend. I was really surprised at how easily and FAR sound travels. I'll have to really watch the volume.  Overall, they sounded great as always but as expected, without the room re-enforcement, there was a drop in the bass output. So.... much to my neighbours dismay, I opened my windows and had my way with the EP600's gain control. Lack of bass outside solved.

So, you're not a port guy, then?

Oh, I love the ports. All kinds of ports. But when the need arises, I'm not opposed to fiddling with my knobs.

I'll be looking forward to a review as well...especially from someone who has regular M3s to compare.
I'm not sure how many have considered it, but if the outdoor speakers sound exactly like the originals, it opens up more "non-additional-cost" colors as available. I can see many buying the Arctic White for indoor use, and I know the "Almond Bisque" looks to be a close match for my AnthroCart edit rack furniture....

Oh - my Axiom Newsletter says "Pictured left, our new Algonquin Outdoor Speakers in Almond Bisque. The waterproof speakers, designed to the same specifications as our M3, began shipping last week. "

I missed that on the letter. I hope that I'm wrong, but I pre-ordered a pair on March 15th and haven't received a shipment notice yet. I must be way down on the list.

That was my bad . I formatted the newsletter before heading off on a trip and I was anticipa a a a a a ating that we would have shipped them. Sorry about that! The poor staff has been very busy mixing the nuts and the cream - Almond Bisque is a clear winner in terms of color so far.
