These are still, to this day, being called the best at this price point!
I agree Will you can check out my comments above and I have $5000 worth of equipment so I'm not surrounding the speakers with cheap amplification either, I can't wait to get a good turntable hooked up to these bad boys!!
Awesome speakers...stop viewing this video and just get them!!! Thanks Pioneer and Andrew Jones.
Appreciation is a sign of a good product.
I bought my pair over 4 years ago still going strong! well built speakers, sound great for the money.
At this price point these are still the musical kings.
I just bought a pair of these speakers and I am blown away at the quality. I have purchased at least 20 different speaker systems in the last 10 years or so and for this low price new NOTHING I HAVE PURCHASED COMES CLOSE TO THE VALUE OF THESE SPEAKERS PERIOD! If you don't have a lot of money but want excellent sound I suggest you purchase a pair of these speakers. Right out of the box with no burn in these speakers will reveal detail that you never knew was there. You will not be disapointed.

I read a review by 1 owner who said the towers cannot play load
without blowing the tweeters.
Knowing A. Jones' career as a designer + physicist I find it hard to
believe these Towers will blow at loud volume.
May I ask if you've experienced any high volume problems?
Thx!
If thats the same tweeter as the bs22s, theres a inherit flaw to it. 12khz, has a HUGE spike to it. Look at tests for those. Flat flat flat. then...EEEEEEKKKK! That on average, 12khz is 3-4 db higher than everything else. Turn that down, and they probably won't pop.
So I could totally seeing that being the reason that would blow it.
With appropriate power they can play loud well into the upper 90db range, but they are not the most efficient speakers so with my 50wpc onkyo amp I am not able to get crazy volume out of them. But the tone of these speakers is amazing
The tweeters in these speaker did in fact burn out. I've replaced them with a set of Peerless tweeters from Parts Express for less than $60 and I am very pleased.
Im deciding between them and klipsch
first of all I just want to say Thanks to Mr. Andrew Jones for the gift of quality sound I have a entry level Sony Blu-ray home theater system and I upgraded it with those bad boys and what a surprise after about 3 days of Break In Time. I could not believe it I can hear every instrument with detail and clarity wonderful bass response those speakers are amazing I'm looking forward to getting a 7.2 Channel pioneer system to match them soon. 😊
I believe more large companies should give their engineers a chance to explain their philosophies and ideas behind the products. It makes it a lot easier to respect certain things such as this loudspeaker. Gives them more of a back story instead of the feeling that you're buying some random mass-produced item.
Still using a pair of these speakers “as we speak” right now. They are paired with a Denon AVR-X1100w 7.2 receiver and they sound PHENOMENAL especially for what I paid for them ~10 years ago brand new (like $225 for the pair I think at Best Buy) they deliver very clean sounding bass and very crisp highs/treble. The mid range (voices, etc) are also very solid. I do have a full 7.2 surround setup, but these in my opinion are the star of the show. are they the absolute best of the best floor speakers I’ve heard? No, but obviously at their price point you cannot beat them and for sure won’t be disappointed. I’ve heard a very large variety of floor standing speakers (Klipsch, Definitive Technology, Polk Audio, Energy Audio, and obviously Pioneer). I would STILL rate these in my top 3 favorite floor standing speakers I’ve yet to hear (even over much higher end speakers). Honestly the only difference I can say between these and the high end Klipsch and Def. Techs. I’ve heard are that the others produced more bass, that was really about it. But honestly, if you’re going to be running a decent or good subwoofer anyway, what’s it matter? 11/10 recommend these if you ever come across any that are still somehow new or even used (as of now/2023, I believe they have been discontinued).
I had a pair of Monitor Audio Silver 6's for a few years and they are better than the SP-FS52 speakers but they should be at almost 10 times the price. These Pioneers are superb in their price range and a bit beyond as well. I have had them for long enough and have owned several pairs of really good speakers so I can tell these have benefited from Andrews knowledge and experience. I'm very happy with listening to either digital or analog sources and they are resolving enough for me and fit well into my living room. As far as the looks this is where he had to cut costs and I have no objection to that, and, I listen with the grills off which they did not recommend but that's my preference.
I bought these out of curiosity and thinking if they had some magic I'll find a use for them. Minitowers have always intgrigued me anyway. So unpacked, attached the bases, disconnect my mains- Klipsch KLF 20 (85lbs each) pop the bananna plugs into the Pioneers spin up a disc-London Grammer and left the room to put the boxes away. For a moment I wondered if I had imagined it all. Surely my Klipsch were playing? No way that bass was coming from the little Pioneers but indeed it was.! They're that good :)
The speakers amaze me at this price point. Great bass and crisp highs. Very heavy , just a well built speaker. You want be disappointed in this.. May buy another pair to stock pile. Thanks mr jones
Have had my new pioneer sp-fs-52 speakers for ten days, cheap new $97 ea. x 2 = $194 shipped. Very pleasing speaker for listening. Full bodied and balanced sound, exceptional mid-range definition and detail, musical instruments can be heard distinctly separated from one another. Bass response is tight, controlled, and for casual or close-in listening more than adequate from the smallish 5-1/4" woofers. Cabinets are decent sized helping bass authority. Gold finished binding posts are neatly recessed in a rear pocket, adding to the overall sense of good quality in this product.
I bought it and paired with Denon 2300, wow i loved the natural sound these speakers deliver! Fantastic!
Gostaria de Parabenizar Andrew Jones e a Pioneer pelo excelente equipamento e por um preço bem acessível. Estou muito feliz com o produto!
Congratulations to Andrew Jones and Pioneer for the excellent equipment with accessible price. I'm very happy with the products.
I've been wanting these speakers for about 3 years now - haven't had the money. I watched them progressively increase in price over and over about 5 times -which is depressing because I know the price the majority of people paid. My main concern is now I have the money to purchase, and they are nowhere to be found. Lastly, I'm concerned that if they start manufacturing again, they won't be up to the same quality. I sure hope so.
Love Pioneer Audio !! speakers match great with the the Pioneer Elite sx-n30 2 channel hi-res class AB 85watts rms reciver or pre-amp ! Bluetooth/wifi front hi-res usb 2 subw outputs 1 main output detachable power cord 3 digital inputs 2 optical 1 coaxial and 5 analog inputs 2 small antennas in the back of unit all in one box ! and Ethernet connection in back of unit and direct mode awesome built in D.A.C
I bumped up the 60, 125 and 2k a notch and the 4k a couple notches on my 10 band eq

Are you folks at pioneer going to put out a replacement line of speakers for these now that they are discontinued? We all love these, I have the whole line including atmos modules , 2 subs and the 52’s up front. I’d like to see what’s next.

@@deckerdotto6035 why doesn't Pioneer Customer Service monitor their UA-cam page?
I too have wondered if an SP-FS53 it's coming out, but if it's not designed by Andrew, I may not be interested. I have been wanting my SP-FS52s for 3 years now. Can't find a pair for sale anywhere - but oddly, a pair will pop up on Amazon here and there
@@CeeStyleDj
Ya they are hard to find. They’ve been discontinued for a while now but demand hasn’t gone away. I have also seen them on Amazon via Gibby’s but I also saw they jacked the price 100 bucks... 499 ca! That shows the demand is still strong for them. I guess those who want Andrew Jones speakers will have to buy Elac. It’s too bad pioneer has been fading away. The fs 52’s were the unicorns that started the ball rolling for inexpensive hi quality speakers that forced other manufacturers to up their games on entry level offerings. I treasure mine....🔊✌️
@@Audiodreamer192-24 You know dude, one year on black friday, they were 64.99 each USD! I was flat broke. I've been wanting them for something like 3 or 4 years..... Can't believe it.
Ayer los recibi excelentes sonido. desde USA a COL
I'd be interested in picking up a pair of these but sadly can't find any in Hungary.
In about a month this is going to be my 5.1.4 dolby atmos set up the sp-fs52 the sp-bs22a Dolby atmos rears sp-t22a add on Dolby atmos speakers the sp-c22 center speaker the pioneer elite sw-e10 and the pioneer sc-lx303
Question to owners: What is the highest max (not rms) watts you have been able to comfortably drive these? I am looking at a 140 w RMS x 2 channel integrated amplifier / receiver and I'm hoping that's not too much. I know these are rated for 130 rms.
What's the difference between the the 52 and 52LR.
And is the LR on the actual speaker model number.
So, is it overkill for those who doesn't need lot of bass? I mainly listen to instrumental music, like metal, rock, lo-fi and jazz with blues.
I love to listen to electronic music too, such as gabber hardcore, dark side and neurofunk drum'n'bass, schranz, dark and psy trance, but i am not going to listen to it very loud due to the place where I live.
So... should I go with SP-BS22 which is basically the same but just one woofer and one tweeter both made with the same technology?
Just got a pair of these with the matching center channel.. The center channel is huge. Too big for my application. I set the receiver to use just L/R for front sound stage. But I found myself turning up the volume to get good dialogue, only to get blasted with midrange/low end when scenes change or music plays in the movie. I have the ability to bi-amp the towers.. Does anyone know if that would improve the sound so I dont have to crank it as much? Thanks
What would happen if I bridged the add on connectors to the connectors of these? I have the Onkyo 656 and its only 7.2 and I was 4 add ons with 2 height speakers. so yeah what would happen?
Muiiiiiito top!
Gostaria de saber por que os receiver pioneer não vem com culer para refrigeração do aparelho pois esqueta muiiito? ?
In what country or region are you using this product?
@@pioneerelectronics
Why isn't the Andrew Jones tower speaker not being sold anywhere anymore? I have been searching all over the internet to no avail? 🤷🏾♂️
If Andrew is still around, I would like to ask him if these speakers pair well with a Cambridge Audio AXR-85 receiver!
You can contact Pioneer Home Electronics here: www.pioneerhomeusa.com/home-2/ You can find more videos on Pioneer's UA-cam Channel here: ua-cam.com/users/pioneerelectronics
After Pioneer, Andrew moved on to elac, but now he is leaving elac after being with them for something like 6 years. To answer your question, yes, these speakers would work great with that receiver. Your receiver is about 100 watts per Channel and these speakers handle up to 130 watts/channel.
These will sound better the more wattage you throw at them.
Nice !! question, I live en El Salvador, if I get the speakers in USA....will I get an international warranty ??
I have. 2 SP FS52. 1 SP C22 AND SW 8MK2. how I can connect everything together? Please help me because is a gift and I have too 2 rocketfish. I hope you can help me
Did i get a pair of lemons? Seems like my bottom 2 woofers do nothing on both speakers but the top one is vibrating a lot more. Still got good bass though
Please contact Pioneer Home Electronics for support here: www.pioneerhomeusa.com/contact-support/
@@deckerdotto6035 So they should all vibrate the same rate when the bass is kicking...
Did you ever get that straightened out? That shouldn't have happened. Most people have not had issues with these speakers. Do you still have them?
@@CeeStyleDj No i haven't. I'm a dummy lol
What receiver should I pair these with? Preferably something on the cheaper side, say $500 and under?
I'm using the Yamaha S202 stereo receiver and it sounds phenomenal with it! It costs about $149 on Amazon rn :)
leaf16nut Pioneer elite sx-n30 class AB 85watts rms hi-res look it up it Jas everything and it's 2 channel though which I bought these for music only
Can I plug them direct on TV or do I need a receiver?
2.5 way, win win win
Hello! I live in Russia and I want to buy these speakers PIONEER SP-FS52. But on your site you can’t make a purchase for Russia - why? I really want these speakers, will you help me?
I recommend to contact Pioneer Europe for help. www.pioneer-rus.ru/
Can I use them with home theater to act as subwoofer
For support with this product please contact Pioneer home electronics here: www.pioneerhomeusa.com/contact-support/ You can find more videos on Pioneer's UA-cam channel here; ua-cam.com/users/pioneerelectronics
You would not want these floor-standing speakers to act as a subwoofer. Of course, these would be great in home theater but these particular floor-standing speakers would be used as your left and right front speakers if used in a Home Theater application. Pioneer has a great subwoofer at a low price that you may want to check out on Amazon. These speakers are mainly 2-channel stereo Hi-Fi speakers.
I am finding in india 🇮🇳 you have any dealer in India?
Please contact Pioneer India: pioneer-india.in/
I just bought these speakers and they sound amazing! qustion though. are the bottom 2 woofers actual speakers or are they passive? if I put my ear to them there isn't nearly the same sound valume coming out of them as the top one. thanks
+chris herbert i noticed that too.
This is a 3 way speaker system. The bottom 2 only plays low frequency.
The bottom two woofers are powered like the rest, NOT passive. They're being fed only low notes.....is what/why you are hearing them as you and others described. No worries....all goodness.
Mike Day You're right, but to avoid confusion I would use the term active, powered suggests they have build in amps.
I appreciate you comment. The original poster was the first to use the term "passive" thinking the lower two woofers might be passive radiators (which they are not.) It gets confusing here because some speakers have non-powered "passive radiators" which look like a speaker but just resonate and are not powered. As such, these are a relatively rare type of speaker. This of course is a separate issue from when we are simply identifying most common type of speakers, called passive because they require a stand alone amplifier. The term "active" is used to denote speakers with built-in amplifiers. We both had our terms a bit mixed up even though l believe we understand how it all works. Here is an explanation I found (in the quotes below) that hopefully provides a bit more clarity:
"The vast majority of speakers are passive. A passive speaker doesn’t have a built-in amplifier; it needs to be connected to your amplifier through normal speaker wire. This speaker level signal has been amplified enough to drive the speakers sufficiently. Active speakers, on the other hand, have a built-in amplifier and are fed by a low-level (line-level) signal passed along an interconnect cable originating at your preamplifier or controller. Because the amplifier is an active electronic device, it needs power, and so you have to put any active speakers near a power outlet."
what is the impedance of this speakers ?
thanks
6 ohms.
6 Ohms
can i pair these with denon 2300 receiver?
Yes, you can.
Definitely
Is anyone using 4 of these with a center and subwoofer
Что за трек играет?)
These are no where to be found in Europe 😞
cool if alan shaw and andrew jones got together and made a baby.
The cabinet would never get built. :)
ya. but it would be one sweet crossover.
3 inches taller, wow, what a difference!
You mean a whole THREE INCHES!
WOAAAAAAAAH!
SLOW DOWN!!!!!
+Johnny Cage
most guys would enjoy having another three inches.
