Rock of Ages

Some folks would be satisfied to line the paths of their outdoor oasis with generic rock speakers. But for a serious rock-and-roll garden, nothing short of Martinlogan’s ML75R ($449.95/each) will do. The company’s landscape speaker is part of its Installer line, which also includes more conventional designs for outdoor A/V applications. The ML75R uses two 1-inch titanium dome tweeters and a 7.5-inch polypropylene cone woofer to bring the music to the outdoors. Its sealed, mineral-filled enclosure adds sturdiness and exhibits a genuinely rock-like look, while a water-resistant stainless-steel grille protects the speaker’s drivers. For those seeking a smaller speaker option to rock out to, Martinlogan also sells the ML65R ($349.95/each), which uses a 6.5-inch woofer instead. martinlogan.com
