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.

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.
Just because you personally haven't heard of something doesn't mean it is lower quality, especially when you say you haven't even read any reviews.
It's too much work to connect these to the receiver and run the wires from inside to the outside patio.
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.
