For the money, the Episode 8" landscape speakers are pretty good. I just installed the crown amp on a job today and got everything dialed in. 8 of those and a single Bose 360. Huge yard. Sounded great and filled the whole space pretty evenly. Obviously you get some beaming if you are fairly close, but it's hard to minimize that. Plenty of low end for most people.
