What customers say about "Size & Weight"

Pioneer SP-FS52 Andrew Jones Designed Floor standing Loudspeaker

I didn't think they would be THIS good when I received them because they are a little smaller in size than I thought they would be. To my surprise, these are amazing.
It is a great value speaker. I am very pleased with its performance and its quality. Just be aware or the large size.
The towers are well made and in fact are surprisingly heavy.
These speakers are of a descent size and weight so if space is an issue you may want to go a different route.
They are fairly large, but seem to blend in well in our living room making them almost unobtrusive if it weren't for the beautiful music coming from them.

These speakers sound great and look great. Also, they are very heavy.
The cabinet size is compact, the magnetic speaker covers are great, so ease to remove and replace.
Pleased! These speakers are solid and have weight to them.
Received on Sunday morning, open the box, heavy/solid speakers!
They are in a ridiculously large and heavy factory box, and it will cost a pretty penny to return them.

Pioneer SP-FS52 Andrew Jones Designed Floor standing Loudspeaker

I have the complete set. Love them! Power and clarity at all levels and they look great!
Paired these with 2 larger speakers and 2 powered subs. A perfect combo
I absolutely love these speakers. The bass has that deep, quality bass that you can only get with a full sized speaker without being at all boomy or over powering (I have these connected to my Onkyo without a subwoofer, which really isn't needed).
The rest of the frequency spectrum has a really good, natural sound to it. I can listen to these speakers all night without getting exhausted as I would with cheaper, less naturally sounding speakers.
Ok sounding for the price. Would pay more for better sound
I compared this speaker and the Onkyo SKF-4800, i found the onkyo speakers to have more details in the highs. mids sound good in both speakers, a bit bright in the onkyo but nothing harsh.

Sound is lovely with classical, great balance through all the octaves, not strident at all (silk dome tweeter, not metal!), good bass extension AND lower octaves tunefullness.
Horns sound just right- bright and sometimes brassy but not "scratchy" or "digital".
Room filling sound, balanced, clear, detailed and even across the spectrum, with plentiful, rich bass.
Sweet and very detailed sound, very nice bass without a sub. Would strongly recommend them.
They do sound good at high enough levels of volume, but not so much at lower volumes.

What customers say about "Features"

Pioneer SP-FS52 Andrew Jones Designed Floor standing Loudspeaker

Towers and center channel look great with grills off
I like that you can take the grills off, as I'd rather see the drivers.
The cabinet is well made, the terminals of high quality.
Speaker grills have partially turned purple, even in a room with blackout curtains and seldom direct sunlight.
Veneer is very cheap quality, already peeling in the corners after 9 months of delicate handling.

I have been extremely satisfied with their use on radio, hi-fi, studio midi gear and several other applications.
The materials used seem pretty good and they do sound really crisp, clear, and lifelike.
Attractive outlook design and high quality sound performance.
I love the modern look and the build quality seems exceptional.
They look nice, have a very good quality to them, and they sound fantastic.
