I am looking to replace my current "rock" speakers that have not weathered well. I'm planning on installing some 4" x 4" treated posts to mount these at about 4' to 4.5' high. I'll be removing these in the fall to keep in the garage during the cold months, and remounting in the spring. So they'll not be exposed to ice, snow, or freezing rain.
They'll likely be mounted vertically, and the ports will be very close to level. Do I need to worry about rain water getting into the enclosure, and if so, are there steps I can take to mitigate this?
Also, can you confirm that these have true crossovers, and not just a filter on the tweeter? Also, if you can share the crossover points, just out of curiosity?

HI Rodney:
I am always concerned about recommending any of our Outdoor patio speakers that are a ported design for an application where you have direct exposure to the elements. Unless they are mounted under an eve or or some sort of enclosure. And it is a good idea to take any outdoor speaker in during the off season. Maybe a better choice would be the AP650 which is a sealed design and has the highest certification for direct exposure. And like the AP 850 does have a actual crossover not just a cap to protect the tweeter.

I have a pair of AP850's being installed by the pool. I want a good receiver/amp that will get the most out of these speakers. Receiver will be on a screen porch subject to heat and high humidity at times. Any suggestions regarding what receiver I should consider?

Hi Suzann:
The best match for your AP-850 is our AMP200. This is High Current Power Amplifier with plenty of headroom with great audiophile sound quality. It also features Automatic Priority Dual Source Switching so you have options for adding sources. There are some very good wireless sources available or you can add wired options like your iPod/Smartphone, Tablet, CD/DVD. And as long as your not exposed directly to the elements like rain there should be no problem mounted in a cabinet on your porch. You can also add an additional pair of AP-850 on Speaker B output.

What is the difference between the AP840 and the AP850?
Customer Service • 12/17/2019, 2:17:43 PM
HI Mike:
The AP 850 is a more expensive speaker since it costs more due to better components and cabinet construction. Pure and simple we sell more AP 850 and virtually have no returns because someone does not like the sound quality. We had people return that AP 840 after complaining about the sound quality. Yes it looks comparable on paper but the AP 850 does not come back so it's the speaker we recommend between the two.

Im opening a bar with 4 different zones. Im looking at 4 pairs of these after reading awesome reviews. Im thinking 2 amps to control the zones and maybe ad a powered sub with 2 extra speakers in one area to make people dance. What do you recommend?
Customer Service • 12/17/2019, 2:17:43 PM
HI Didier:
We would love to help you with your bar setup. Where are you located? If you can supply me with additional information on your project including the layout of the building with dimensions and images of all the rooms and bar area. Checkout our AMP300 and the SSVC4 Speaker Selector with Dual Source switchable per zone between two amps. We have done many restaurants where the SSVC4 would be behind the bar and controlled by the bartender. Each zone features an internal volume control, On/Off switch and a choice of Source A or Source B. What are you planning for your sources? One could be for your TV's. Please let me know more. We just returned from a recent convention where we featured a wall of Bass including 8 each SL800 Passive subs powered by a single sub amp. It would work perfect with four speakers in two locations.

I ordered By Amazon 2 pairs of AP850, but I received AP850 with the Tap of 70V I think, they have a selector of watts.
What is the diference, the speakers do not sound well.
Please contact me to cvalenzuela@lamparascontempo.net

Hi Carlos:
Just make sure you set the selector switch to 8 Ohm, this will bi-pass the internal 70V Transformer. The speaker is identical to the 8 ohm only version and should sound the same. What are you using them with, what is your source?
