Title: Decent speakers at a reasonable price.
Review: Product sounds really good. I have a couple Bose speakers in the house, as comparison these speakers are not as bright in sound. They carry a more dominant mid-tone to my ear which is subjective to each person. They have the ability to go pretty loud depending on your receiver and have not distorted. There is a reason they have been in production since 2005. If you are thinking about adding some outdoor speakers but arenât looking to break the bank, these speakers will not disappoint. I could not be happier with them. My 4 star on the sound is really a preference thing, others may think they are straight up 5. From the install perspective, these speakers come with the mounting bracket, but do not include screws. I used a couple exterior grade screws to fasten to the soffit above my desk. Once the bracket is up, the speakers slide in and then you tighten the cap on either side. Very easy to do (the hard part is running the wires, but that has nothing to do with the speakers themselves). Overall I do rank these as a 5 for value. They are above the quality you might expect for the price point and get the job done. They are a nice set of speakers that should add enjoyment to your outdoor space for years to come.

Title: Long lasting outdoor speakers
Review: We had a set of these at our pool for many many years and one of them finally started buzzing. Went ahead and replaced the pair. The previous model was slightly larger in physical size but the mount fit just the same so it was a direct swap. Nice attention to detail, Polk! Clear sound all across the pool deck. Good buy.

Title: Pleased overall
Review: For $100 these are some pretty good overall outdoor speakers. I had a pair of JBL outdoors that developed some buzzing and pops so I needed a replacement and I went with these. For reference, every other speaker I own (except for a pair in the garage) is JBL, this was my first Polk experience.Generally speaking they are a solid set of speakers. They give a pretty balanced sound all around but lack a little fullness in the lower mid-range. This is particularly noticeable when playing orchestral type music like film scores or piano heavy music. Going from the lower mids to bass is where they really start to have trouble. For the size of the speaker I certainly wasn't expecting to really "feel" bass but these do drop off noticeably in the lower frequency ranges. If there's something to knock with the Atrium 4's, that's it. With other types of music (country, rock, etc...) those issues aren't as noticeable. With that said they offer a nice high end treble sound that is pleasing to the ear. Overall the tone is brighter than I generally prefer (all of my JBL's have a warmer tone) but it certainly isn't a deal breaker for me. They don't by any stretch of the imagination sound unpleasant. For our purposes, general entertaining...using them for music outside while we do yard work..., they fit the bill very nicely. For $100 I am overall satisfied with this purchase. If you can afford to, or if a flatter overall response is important, then I'd probably look at something a little more expensive. If you are comfortable giving up some sound quality or if budget is an issue then certainly gives these a serious look.Installing these babies was an absolute breeze. The mounting hardware supplied by Polk is virtually idiot proof. It simply could not be any easier to mount these speakers. The installation deserves 5 stars. The fact that they are virtually weatherproof is also a plus, you can mount them just about anywhere without fear of damage from the elements. One other thing I really liked was the ability to swivel and aim the speakers to exactly where I wanted them (this could not be done with our JBL's these replaced).Power handling has not been an issue for me. I've got them hooked up to a 120 watt receiver and they been flawless to this point even at high volumes. We have a relatively large back yard so it takes some juice to disperse the sound and the Atriums are more than capable of taking it.I'll summarize this way; if you're looking for an inexpensive way to get good quality sound outdoors with something that is ridiculously easy to install then the Atrium 4 deserves strong consideration. If you can afford to get in to an upgraded version then I would probably look in that direction solely for a better bass-lower midrange performance.

Title: Good Bass!
Review: Add this sub to compliment my outdoor sound system. I paired this with POLK Atrium 8 outdoor speakers and the sound is great. My setup is a PYLE Karaoke channel splitter with all speakers getting their own channel so i can distribute the music on the needs.

Title: Nice, great sound.
Review: I paired the Polk Patio 200âs with the Fosi BT20A Bluetooth receiver and they sound great, better than expected. I have them 15â apart and used 14g speaker wire. I did the horizontal mount. The highs and bass are clear and stereo is distinguishable. You wonât be disappointed.

Review: It improves your sound 10 fold, using low levels of sound that sounds so good, and still easily having conversations with others. With out the bass, your music is louder and impedes your conversation.I find that much of a difference!

Review: This is my second set of Polk Audio outdoors speakers. My first pair are the Atrium 6s, which are amazing and produce very clear and accurate sound (in my humble opinion). Recognizing that the Atrium 4s are smaller, they still produce very good sound. The mounting system that both speakers use make them very easy to install and wire, and the Atrium 4s worked right out of the box with no fuss. The bass reproduction is good, but not at the same level as the Atrium 6s. Nevertheless, they are quite good at filling small to medium spaces, and they very effectively filled my lower patio area with quality sound. As an aside, these are standard speakers and are not powered so you will need an amplifier or receiver to power them. Both my Atrium 4s and 6s seem very well sealed against the weather elements and they are both holding up very well. I can definitely recommend the Atrium 4s for outdoor installations.
