Almost there. For the 3rd generation just get rid of that fake wood grain and have rectangular grilles and they will sell a lot more.

Thanks for the review. I'm awaiting you review of the tower speakers. These pioneer are priced really well and if the towers measure and sound great, I maybe upgrading my Polk monitors to the Pioneer's.

I second the motion for a review of the system with the new towers in the front. I've been eyeing these speakers for quite some time now and would love a review of these including the towers.

Ok, guys, will see what we can do about checking out the towers. You'll get pretty much the same stellar mids and high end performance as with the sats up front, but if you're just looking to do two channel listening without a sub you'll find these can stand alone reasonably well. I'm sure you'll still want a subwoofer for theater use, though -- that's called for with most towers.
