In the past couple months we have gone over boat speakers and tower speakers many times. What I have learned is that not everybody uses their speakers the same way I use mine so sometimes my suggestions are wrong for their use.
For towers I find that there are two kinds of listeners. Rider listeners and beach listeners. The needs between these situations greatly differ and it's difficult to give advice without knowing which kind of listener I am talking to. By rider listeners I mean people that want to hear good clear sound at the end of the tow rope, by beach listeners I mean people that want a nice sounding system to listen to when the boat is parked and the engine is off. Things like compression tweeters are interesting to rider listeners and things like battery banks are important to beach listeners.
This also makes a difference in boat speakers as well. If somebody is listening with the boat stopped to their cabin speakers at moderate levels then they are going to be more critical to a listener that only listens while the motor is running. The earlier listener will want a "softer" sounding speaker, the latter will probably want a "brighter" speaker.
If you keep this in mind when you head to a speaker showroom, or when you ask questions on this board. It might help you avoid making a mistake when it comes time to plunk down your money.
