Articulated Array® Speaker Design
By precisely placing the drivers inside the speaker cabinet, an Articulated Array® speaker design can provide a large, consistent sound field. This allows for more even sound coverage for better sound over a larger area. The uniquely structured multi-chamber bass enclosure helps filter out unwanted audible distortion in the low-frequency range. These chambers also help improve speaker efficiency, resulting in deeper bass from a small enclosure.
Rigorous Environmental Testing
These all weather speakers are engineered and tested to withstand snow, rain, salt and even temperature extremes from 140 degrees Fahrenheit to -22 degrees Fahrenheit. These speakers deliver performance and reliability most conventional outdoor (and many indoor) speakers can't match. From the special composite materials used in the cones, to the talc and glass filled polypropylene cabinet, everything is designed for added durability without sacrificing performance. Weather resistant mounting brackets and hardware are also included to allow for an easy (and lasting) installation.

I am extremely satisfied with both the Bose 251 speakers and Vanns from which I purchased them. The speakers sound very natural, no enhanced bass or anything of that nature. Very good, tight bass, but a more natural sound then I hear on many other speakers. Ive always been a fan of Bose and will continue in that vain. As far as the purchase goes, I couldnt have been more impressed. Ive always been a fan of Vanns too.

I had a pair of Boston Acoustic speakers in my yard, then I replaced them with the Bose 251's. The Bose 251's sounded 10 times better than my Boston Acoustic speakers. I recommend them 100 percent.

I recently purchased a pair of black Bose 251 outdoor speakers from VANNS and installed them the Friday prior to the Memorial Day weekend as we were having guests on Sat and Sun.
First things first. Appearancewise, they are beautiful. I preferrd the 251's vertical orientation against the 151's horrizontal since the mounting location was a rather flat high side of the house facing the porch. The speakers seem very durable and weather proof. They also come with the mounting brackets. All you need are 8 screws and speaker wire. The brackets allow for a good range of up and downwards tilt adjustability for the spealers all with 2 knobs.
I purchased 100 feet of white flat speaker wire and connected them to my amp in the living room through the basement. After fishing and hooking up all the wires read the supplied manual for correct polarity, I put a CD on and all I can say is WOW! I already have BOSE speakers inside and am used to their extraordinary sound quality but had some reservations about outdoor speaker technology that's the reason I went with BOSE.
The sound was so pure and the various instruments so distinct, I thought I was inside! From the deep base to the highs even the FM radio comes through incredibly. I now keep the radio on the entire day while working outdoors.
Now we have music not only in our patio, but also in the pool area and playground. Thanks VANNS for your great customer service e mail 'heads up'and expeditious shipping.
