Outdoor patio speaker recommendations

Looking to hang two traditional looking speakers (not stones or poles). Any knowledge on something with great sound and value?
-Indoor home theater receiver is about 15 feet inside two double doors which may be the easiest to hook up to but running the speaker wire will be tough. Probably use Chromecast audio to control the tunes from the receiver. Will want the speakers to play the audio from an outdoor tv or projector so another cable may need to be run to the indoor receiver correct?
-Another option is to get purely wireless speakers and charge as needed

I have a pair of Polk atrium 6s right now that I think sound good. Going to add another pair at the new house.

Ive had these in my backyard for going on 5 years now. They sound fantastic and the price was certainly right.

I use (4) Polk Atrium 8 SDI driven by a Rotel 120x5 power amp (one channel drives an outdoor sub). If you put good power behind them, they will play as loud as you want to go without any break-up. They also have a great low end too.

Klipsch KHO-7. Probably one of the highest rated outdoor speaker

I've had the Dual speakers on the deck at the camp for several years and they've held up well. They're sheltered from direct rain, but are in the salt air 24/7. You can hear them down the bayou.

Got these based on a recommendation from this board. Love them. Search for reviews. You'll see high praise. Dayton Outdoor. Review here.

I put up a pair of Bose 251s under my car port a few weeks back. Very happy with the sound, though they are bigger than I expected.

I have these in 6.5. Sound as good as can be expected outside. Take a beating from a pressure washer too.
