simonha's Full Review: Pyle PDWR63 Main / Stereo Speaker
The Pyles ended up being larger than I anticipated, and so they are being used to provide music in my garage rather in my backyard as I had originally intended. I am currently seeking something a little smaller to tuck under the roof around back. Still, it makes listening to music in my garage a lot more enjoyable. They are currently replacing the standard speakers that came with a Sharp minisystem and impressively fill a 3 car garage with sound using very little power (estimated at a couple/few watts).
The sound is forward and dynamic, if a little light in the bass, with a tonal balance and efficiency similar to Klipsch SA series speakers, for a substancially lower price. However, I believe that the Klipsch's are a better speaker for critical listening since to me they sounded more refined. However, I don't do any critical listening in either my backyard or my garage, so I could not justify spending a whole lot more money for use in those settings.
I also gave these things a work out with my Carver TFM-25 amp and they played without audible strain for extended periods at very loud SPLs. I suspect that they would make a good college party speaker since they are mostly "spilled-drink resistant."
As for my scores, I can identify about as many speakers that suite my tastes better as worse than these Pyles, so I think they are about or slightly above average. However there are no speakers that I am aware of that provide the efficiency or sound of these units at anywhere near the price. I believe that efficiency is an extremely important characterstic in outdoor speakers when the audience will be listenting from a good distance away. I can turn my whole backyard into a music-filled playground and the speakers sound like they are accomplishing the task effortlessly. In my experience inefficient speakers, regardless of their power-handling ability, rarely sound good when playing loudly. BTW, most outdoor speakers do not have high efficiency.
So, if your goals are to generate a convincingly big sound in a big place for a convincingly smaller budget, I'd heartily recommend these Pyles, and you needn't have spent a lot on the receiver or amplifier to power them either.
