I have a Nest Mini paired to this receiver and the speakers in this deal https://a.co/d/abbxP98
Speakers are under an awning and are holding up well after a few months. It's survived heat, rain, cold, and snow since August so far. For the price it's good.
The Duals have a smaller 4" speaker rather than 5" and a much lower quality brand name (I've read no reviews on either).
Honestly, for most back-deck systems, you don't need much, especially if you have neighbors close by. I don't though and as I walk across my yard with my porch cranking out a movie with a Pioneer 5.1 surround sound system that is near painful on the porch, the sound dwindles quickly after 15 feet and at 100 feet or so you can't make out the words anymore. If you are on water, the sound travels like crazy... so each scenario is different.
The nice thing about the Duals is they will probably sound decent on a cheap digital amplifier from someplace like Parts-Express... with maybe a bluetooth adapter setup. So when the weather inevitably kills them, you haven't lost much. Put your electronics in an irrigation control box so it is easy to access and waterproof when closed... cheap and easy back porch tunes.
All that said, these Yamahas are tempting. I'll look into them a bit deeper.
Edit, I didn't even look at the price of the Duals. Same price. Yeah... no, for a smaller no name brand.

What is the cheap receiver for those speakers with Bluetooth?

Do i need to buy anything else to hook up this speakers to the receiver?
I bought this on a deal before. One speaker stopped working after 20 minutes. I've never seen that before on a passive speaker.
Obviously the worst part of hooking up any speaker is the wiring. So by the time I had it wired and put up it was after the return period. I spent over an hour debugging with various connectors and other speakers to find the root cause. I had to argue with Amazon twice for over 30 minutes to get my money back. What good is a manufacturer's warranty on a bad product?
I love saving 💰, but I do not recommend this product at all.
I appreciate a great sound and own 4 different sets of Bowers and Wilkins speakers throughout my home. Klipsch makes a great outdoor speaker that doesn't break the bank....they used to sell them at costco

You can usually find them for good deals. I snagged them up for $99. Good sound for the price.

Why not just pair it with a decent cheap amp/receiver w BT built-in or a dongle?
