andrewp Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 Stunning speakers in EVERY WAY. I drive mine with a 200w integrated. That is an excellent price and as has been pointed out an extremely well priced pair of one of the worlds great loud speakers. I wish you all the very best with your sale. Hope its ok to say this but Id maybe try Audiomarkt also. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bzr Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 (edited) These are the last venture by Andrew Jones at Pioneer as a freelance with an unlimited budget to develop a speaker that doesn't defy any or outreach all. Quite simply it was a venture to build the best possible & true speaker available. No budget no restraint by one of the best in the business. There are a multitude of opinions & guesses about how good this speaker is, most unfortunately do not have the chance to live with it, many have re-bought it after selling it , unfortunately selling it to only realize they were premature. It is recognized by the most flagrant audiophile as totally suspicious & absolutely unworthy, but then again, we're not talking about the magico who changes their undies on the wind are we.....No, this is one of the stalwarts of the sound, a bastion of sorts..... ..
