PuPu Pants: I've got a pair of Onkyo speakers. They were recommended to me by someone else who has an outdoor system for his pool. Looks like they've gotten out of the outdoor speaker business, though.

Make sure that you run the highest quality speaker wire out there (thick gauge and good insulation) and some waterproofing around where the wires attach to the speakers. I shrink-wrapped the wire/terminal connection and covered the whole area with duct tape (they are wall-mounted, so it doesn't show). Ask somebody with salt-water boat experience -- the harshest environment imaginable for electronics.
