cost reduction. No longer includes speaker cable.

I bought these to replace a previous pair that had been uncoated all year round for almost ten years. Just note that the previous pair had the speaker wire coiled down about 30 feet. There is NO speaker wire underneath. You MUST buy speaker wire. Assembly is very easy, but I was expecting speaker cable and didn't order it. Now I have to wait for my order for the wire to arrive (after detection). I bought the 50 feet from Revain for $11. There are other sales for 100 feet for $76 for the sameโ€ฆ

  • Complete Set

Not good. Much better alternatives for the money

I did a lot of research and the GS3 definitely had a very moving and positive story. I decided to give it a try. At the same time, I bought another similar device, but made by OSD. The OSD unit was $30 cheaper and sounds $200 better. The GS3 has a tinny, sacred sound. The midrange is missing. It sounds better when the high frequencies are cranked all the way up. The bass is good, but who cares if the overall sound is poorly balanced. Of course, if you listen to the GS3 without comparison, itโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Cool

  • I'll write back later

Performance that belies its small size

I have installed 4 pairs of these speakers for various clients plus a few pairs of the larger GS-3. I'm consistently impressed by the ability of this smaller GS-5 to fill a large area with full-range sound. Thanks to the 5.5" woofer and 55Hz response rate, the post-buried bass response and clarity are far beyond what you might believe. If you don't want to fill an extremely large area with as few speakers as possible, you can go for the more expensive GS-3. It's much more profitable to buy 4โ€ฆ

Pros
  • New
Cons
  • Little repairability

Stop reading and buy 2 already!

Oh my god how lucky I am! Originally just bought an 8" to see how it sounds. After digging in, it was suspect; the high frequencies were muted and didn't quite live up to the hype. So glad I did. I hooked up 12 gauge wire to a small 100 watt amp and amazon bluetooth receiver and my backyard became my official happy place environment you seek for around the pool at 100% amp -Volume and 50% iPhone volume it's near perfect Louder is fine too but I don't want my neighbors to hate me amp - Musicโ€ฆ

Pros
  • A dream come true
Cons
  • Big and bulky

Best option no doubt

I bought two of these to put in my garden in addition to the outside wall speakers I have on my patio. Once you've done your research, you'll find that these are by far the cheapest and can't be beat for quality either. Other options are too expensive compared to these. At first I just put them on a concrete square but then I bought a flower box to put them on top of which I think helps improve the sound which is excellent by the way. I've uploaded a few photos to give you a better idea of howโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
Cons
  • poorly thought out

Premium sound and wireless control at an affordable price!

These speakers met/exceeded my expectations. I thought of the Bose Headspace but just couldn't bring myself to spend THAT much on something that would be exposed to all sorts of weather conditions and possibly stolen. I found (with a little research) that I could connect them to my 17 year old Kenwood receiver using 12-2 gauge landscape wire (speaker wire is too tall and it's the same). My receiver is in the living room, so I ran a cable from the back of the receiver, through the floor, through

  • Don't waste too much time
