Ignore any review that says they hooked them up and weren't impressed

I have been eyeing these speakers for some time as they reciever stellar reviews on CNET

Not very sure if this deserves all the glowing reviews it has on Amazon

So, these speakers have amazing reviews at Stereophile, Home Theater Review and various other professional audio review resources, noting that their measurements and sound quality are unparalleled for the price and for many times the price!I listened to them at a large blue big box store and purchased them from the store, paired with a Yamaha RX-V375 and speaker cables

I was so happy with the sound for the $$$ 125 per I went to go write a great review and just clicked on the speaker and discovered the price dropped 40 bucks from the Friday I received the speakers to the following Monday (review day) down to 87 per and I ordered another pair

I read all the reviews about these speakers and decided to purchase some thinking all those great reviews couldn't be

It's impossible to ignore the expert reviews on this line of speakers.

I read all the great reviews in the media about these speakers

I bought these speakers based on the great reviews and they were not on the store

It's obvious that Pioneer paid off professionals to get good reviews

I originally had bought these speakers due to the designer and all the great reviews

after reading all of the good reviews, I was amazed at how bad these were... yes, all the speaker demos were using the same AV receiver, so it's a valid comparison...

Bought these due to their fantastic reviews and great price

I am in agreement with the positive reviews from others.

I had really high hopes for these speakers because the reviews were all really good and everyone was recommending them

I was excited to upgrade from my cheap Sony SS-F6000s after reading all the glowing reviews for these Pioneers, but ended up very disappointed

Of course the reviews for the SP-FS52 were very positive ( as they were for the other speakers in this series).

Then again I have read many positive reviews on many speakers

I was skeptical at all the glowing reviews but they were on sale and I needed a cheap upgrade from some Polk bookshelf speakers
