Greetings folks !
I have been off the radar for quite some time now. I know that's a bit selfish of me for not reviewing the setup that I got for myself after all the help/pointers that members here provided me with but in my defense I have been totally tied down with work. I hope to make up for my ingratitude today.
As some of you might be aware I had got myself Yamaha 671 & Pioneer SP-PK51FS couple of months back and have been living a dream ever since. I wouldn't like to talk about the Yamaha 671 here because this AVR has already been reviewed and dissected in detail. If I had to sum up the 671 in one word it would be - "perfect". This AVR handles everything thrown at it with effortless ease and the results are outstanding.
This review is about the Pioneer speakers. I had booked these speakers without hearing them because no one in India had these till the point I got mine. I guess I was the first person to get these speakers in the nation and thats something I am justifiably proud of
Its a huge risk ordering speakers without auditioning them but in this case I had a gut-feel that I am doing the right thing and these speakers have not just proved me right but also surpassed my expectations !!
Users the world over are wondering how a speaker system that is comparatively so inexpensive can sound so good and this is one question I would like to know the answer to one day.. After two months of sustained music listening and movie watching I wish I could find something negative to say about them but no matter how minutely I try and find anything negative the fact is these babies are just impeccable.
The sheer clarity and the sound stage of the Pioneers is something that has to be experienced first hand to understand just how good these speakers are. As for the bass- there are times when I dont even need the sub-woofer as the towers seem totally well equipped to handle everything that the AVR feeds them.
Now this review for the 51 FS can also be co related with a review for the 21 BS as the 5.1 setup consists of two 51 floorstanders in the front and two 21 book shelves in the rear. Even the smaller 21 BS hold their own when it comes to performance and are almost as good as the bigger 51 FS. The only thing that the 21s might lack somewhat when compared to the giant 51s is the bass output but again that's marginal.
Needless to add I am totally satisfied with these speakers and am fortunate that I came across the glowing reviews all over Internet that helped me decide. The majestic highs and the well defined lows are a class apart !
For the technically oriented here are some spec sheets:

I had auditioned various speaker packages but nothing comes close to this speaker package not only in this price range but also if one extends the price upto a lakh. I know it sounds like a long shot and some might tale it as a overly proud owner's ramblings but am prepared to wager
If members have any query please feel free to shoot !
Cheers !
