Outdoor Speakers That Aren't Boxes
After taking a look at the HGTVpro.com series of articles and videos on outdoor living -- Outside the Walls -- they left out something: entertainment. How about some sound? On homes of this magnitude, there will probably be whole house audio, why not extend the system outdoors?
There are many speakers designed to be used outdoors, including weather resistant boxes and faux rocks with speakers inside them, but you might want to take a look at an alternative -- a planter with a speaker in the base from Niles Audio. They look great and sound great. For more information, click here to download the spec sheet.
You may not be familiar with Niles Audio, but in my industry they have a solid reputation for making innovative, high quality products.
What type of outdoor speakers do you prefer? Have you come up with a creative solution to hide them?

I actually have this speaker outside on my patio by the pool. The sound is amazing and the fact that you can put an actual live plant -- mine is filled with lavender -- is too cool. Two thumb's up.
