Atrium 55 speakers are indestructible

One year ago today Tropical Storm Irene flooded our house. I had a pair of Atrium 55 speakers stored in the basement (we had just finished residing the house and I hadn't reinstalled them in the back yard). If you look closely at this picture you will see one of the speakers floating in the muddy water in our basement.

I just reinstalled them in the backyard this morning and they still work perfectly. Congratulations on making a very waterproof speaker!
