Pioneer S-ESR2TB

Advantages: -Good bottom!
-Top and middle is also in perfect harmony!
-Low price!
-Thin
-Quality Pioneer

Disadvantages: -8 ohm
- S-ESR2C Center could be better

Comment: For the price I think it is better not to find! In use more than 3 years. And now in the case. Its full potential depends on:
1. Receiver power. 2. Place and type of installation. 3. From the correct setting of the receiver. 4. From quality cables. Here are a couple of tips:
1. It is advisable to purchase res. where the output is 105-120 watts at 8 ohms. I have VSX 521 from the same company. Although the measurement of the fronts turned out 7.5 ohms, but the receiver does not pump. I will change. I consider rivers of other manufacturers a little more powerful. It is not strange, but the ideal power receiver will cost several times more expensive than the speakers.
2. Sound power is enough for 35 squares (and maybe it didn’t check it anymore, but the stock is good, even with low sensitivity). A sub for this kit is a matter for an amateur; you can even put 200w, or you can without a subwoofer; it pumps music quite well without it. The bottom is good, dense, powerful, voluminous. I have a subwoofer Pioneer-S-51W, but turn on the current in the films. Top clear. The middle is good. If the fronts are in the corners, it is desirable to put the speakers inwards, if the fronts are located on both sides of the TV, then the dynamics are outwards (deviation is possible, everything depends on the room, experiment).
3. I offer the option of setting the receiver. At the front, apply the full range of frequencies (Large), the center, the rear trimming (Small) and the crossover frequency do !! 80 Hz !!. Carefully adjust the distance from the speakers to the point of interception !!!!
5. Replace the front / center cables with oxygen-free copper with a cross section of 2.5 squares. This will reduce losses in the low and medium frequencies + reduced response time. To the rear will go and relatives.
6. On expense polochnikov! If you can leave the rear, then I changed the center. Put the Pioneer-S-31C! Not a second regretted!
Opened up. Cable inside normal, change, it makes no sense. The filter is the simplest (but what did you want for such money ?!). Damping material almost throughout the cavity. Who has golden hands, I propose to put the fronts on a platform with spikes. The speakers will open a second wind!

Advantages: sound, price, quality, 10kg, compact.

Disadvantages: For acoustics for 6.6 tr they are not

Comment: I bought it on sale for 6.6 tr, I use the SONY 770 dn 740 with an amplifier, I was surprised by good bass, I don’t need a subwoofer now, they are compact and light, I use to listen to music, the room is 22 meters, this was Mikrolaby solo 7. For the sake of experience I connected the passive speaker from the microlab to the receiver, it does not stand next to the sound, the difference is like heaven and earth.I am not an expert in acoustics, but I know that Monitor Audio is on the market HAI FII is considered one of the best companies, so when I bought the PIONEERS in the store, I listened to them, and for example we connected speakers that were near the Monitor Audio model I don’t know and didn’t remember 22t.r. price, (connected only the front), connected alternately several times, then left one speaker pioneer and one speaker audio monitor, surprisingly my brother and I did not feel the difference between them, there was a consultant with us, I asked him a question do you feel the difference? He said that he also didn’t feel, and that an expensive amplifier was needed for an audio monitor, to feel the difference, the amplifier was SONY STDR DN 740, which I bought in a package with pioneers, he has 7 channels of 140 watts, plus two SABA, and the price on the market from 15 thousand. (I personally think that if you are not an audiophile, this receiver is an evil eye) In general, I bought this kit, now I am very glad, I did not regret it.

Advantages: System normul

Disadvantages: Experts will see I have not found for myself

Comment: I wondered for a long time, I thought I was greedy with money (I decided to pay 8500 rubles dear to me). But bought for the price of 5000r. in Voronezh. Prior to that, he used Soviet acoustics, microlabs about 3 + still every kind of acoustics (exactly any))))). When I bought the AV receiver and connected to it the acoustics of the microlab (speakers) of course played differently, the class decided. But, when I connected these pioneers, everything became clear, the microlabs and some were not with them (now I sell the whole thing). The sound for the room in 18 squares was very pleased, the bottom is soft, the volume gives. I took for the cinema (it sounds the rules for me personally, of course it is felt in some places that they did not play there, they outplayed here)))). Music swing norms. When listening, being surely not in another room is necessary, but in the center of the sound. But if you have to stupidly pile on, please comrades, the system will cope. Yes, as for the subwoofer, I’ll say one thing to an amateur; at a low volume, it may not be enough for him, but only in my opinion, and in order. With regard to the wires for acoustics, I will say, as one specialist who understands this topic said, if I can say so, he said to me: “it will go that way for the house)) our ears will not understand the difference, thin or thick wire, expensive or cheap, etc. if he lies, then I get)) There will be an opportunity, of course, I will take a sub, but I doubt whether they will actively use it. Before choosing this system, the advice is as follows: ideally, of course, before choosing a system to listen to, play with the settings, then you will understand that yes how. The system for 4+ for me, and for 5 it will be for example for 100 000 r. like this. Brought home and customize get fun)))). Take regret should not, if that does not throw stones at me, there is always an opportunity to return the goods.

Advantages: Appearance, sound, price.

Disadvantages: Low enough.

Comment: For its price, and for the room 20kv. Pioneer 520-K. For music, quite, for the cinema, I will still take the sub. For me, the base is not enough. The wires to the center and the front set copper 2.5. I left the rear ones with my own microphone. Receiver. The volume is good and yet ... bottom! But I consider the price I advise. Plus Pioneer and decent appearance ..

Advantages: Beautiful design - thin, do not take up much space, look very modern. Great sound deep, beautiful and clear. Well expressed and bottom and top. Bottoms - soft, rich, even bass lovers, I think will appreciate. The sound does not rattle when you increase the volume. Wires in a set of sufficient length to position the speakers at will. Well, the price pleased for such quality.

Disadvantages: Saba, although with a good bass somehow still not enough. I was already thinking about purchasing it. Column legs could also be made more qualitative.

Comment: A successful model for such a small price. The full effect of the cinema at home, of course, does not, but the sound is still very decent, especially if you get confused and put on the mind.Five out of five, I am pleased with the purchase

Advantages: - Low price and high quality.
- Very decent sound quality for such a price, at times better than cinemas from the same box with plastic speakers.
-Relatively compact view, you can put it where there is little space.
- No brackets are needed, I hung the rear on my own holes for nails. The fronts can also be hung, but with the help of a cable, there is a mount for it.
-Built-in sabiki on the fronts (I'll unsubscribe right away so they start playing. You need to turn on the LFE signal on the front, I have the 421st Pioneer, in the instructions this is called selecting the size of loudspeakers or something like that, if you also have a Pioneer receiver, look in the instructions on the disk through the search (ctrl + F) the word LARGE having placed this setting on the front, the subs on the fronts will play, until I did not play the subs, I even thought that something was wrong with the speakers, then I turned it on and everything was fine ^ _ ^)

Disadvantages: Although there are some subs, but not enough for me, I also connected an active subwoofer sub 20W to them, but I don’t have enough of it, sometimes I don’t have enough for films, I just want it to be like during the movies in the cinema, so that the walls can be crushed during the explosions in films :) but while I’m not in a hurry to buy a sub, it plays well anyway, everything suits me in music, but I want more movies.

Comment: I changed the wires to the fronts, my relatives are very weak, for the fronts. I left my relatives to the rear and to the center too, but this is for good reason, I somehow just did not know before that in films with the correct 5.1 / 7.1 sound the central speaker works most of all, so you will need to buy a normal wire to the center.
LARGE cuts the Pioneer to 421m like this: “setting up the speakers” press the button on the remote Setup -> enter -> sp set -> enter -> Choose LARGE and start playing sabiki :) if there are few bass frequencies, you can still increase the cut in the settings of function x .over default is 100, set 200 and the sub becomes more bogus, but the sound becomes dirtier, it’s better to have a default cut, then the sound is perfect, clear.

Advantages: - Looks solid, no cheap plastic
- decent sound for this price range

Disadvantages: - Flimsy wires included, replaced with copper 2x2.5
- the lack of a full-fledged subwoofer limits the volume of the room, this must be taken into account when buying

Comment: Excellent acoustics for your money. The lack of a subwoofer limits the size of the room to 15-18 square meters. m. Who has more - it is desirable to buy a sub and here, respectively, and the price of the system increases. And so, 2 built-in 16 cm, enough.
For full feng shui, I recommend replacing the wires with copper ones of a larger section. I bought a BLSIS, part number BW7002. Belsis, by the way, the only COPPER budget wires for acoustics that you found. Shops are all clogged with copper-plated cables. Their characteristics are worse and it is necessary to take more section compared to copper.
For reference: Copper cable is marked
- OFC (Oxygen-Free Copper, oxygen-free copper)
Copperplate - either without marking, or
- CCA (Copper Clad Aluminum, copper-clad aluminum)
- CCS (Copper Clad Steel, copper-plated steel)
distributed price is approximately the following: 1m OFC = 2m CCA = 4m CCS
It is very easy to identify a fake, looking at the cable cut, it will not be copper. Many sellers, by the way, intentionally or not, found it difficult for me to answer about the cable material.
For mounting the rear speakers on the wall, if you need to turn the speakers on the listener, RESONANS brackets, part number PS470 or PS92, are ideal. They are, in principle, the only ones, because the rest are either too small or too bulky.
To complete the "picture" you can put the front speakers on the spikes, but I haven't bothered about this yet.

Advantages: Great sound for the money, a good study base, compact size, light weight.

Disadvantages: Wires is better to change to normal.

Comment: He took in the kit with the receiver Pioneer VSX-421 + bought additional sub Yamaha YST-SW215.There is nothing to compare with, but after the BBK component (floor-standing) acoustics, the sound is simply magnificent. For DK entry level is a good choice.

Advantages: Powerful, deep and soft bass. Middle and tall are good too. Low price. Design.

Disadvantages: Not

Comment: I use with a receiver YAMAHA RX-V371. Great sound for 9000 p.

Advantages: The sound is clearly good, the bottom is deep, bright and transparent, the subwoofer will obviously be superfluous even for big bass lovers, the top and middle ones are normal.

Disadvantages: bundled wires are weak

Comment: the model is successful
