Pioneer’s SP-PK21BS Speaker Package

Have you recently started shopping for speakers for your home theater or are you getting ready to set up a home theater for your family? If the answer is yes, you know that it can be challenging to create just the right home theater sound system.  First you have to decide how many speakers you will need before choosing the right speakers to fit your audio expectations. For most people, pricing is a concern; it is a known fact that speaker prices don’t always relate to how good or bad specific speakers really are.  The proof, of course, is in the listening; you will probably listen to many before you make your final decision.

If you are looking for speakers to complement both your music listening and movie experience, be sure to check out the great sounding Pioneer SP-PK21BS speaker package.  Basically, Pioneer has taken the essential components of a home theater sound system and put them together in an extraordinary, yet affordable, package.   This home theater speaker system consists of an SP-C21 center channel speaker, a compact SW-8 powered sub-woofer and four SP-BS41-LR bookshelf satellite speakers, all designed by internationally renowned speaker designer, Andrew Jones.

Pioneer has an amazing audio history, creating many industry firsts over the course of time.  As Pioneer’s Chief Speaker Engineer, Andrew Jones has designed some of the world’s most impressive loudspeakers.  With the SP-PK21BS system, he has brought his high-end expertise and passion into the innovation of this affordable speaker package.  While the suggested price is much lower than some of his other creations, the expectation and delivery of accurate sound reproduction are the same.

SP-BS41-LR Bookshelf Satellite Speakers

For movies and other video programming, the satellite speakers assigned to the left, right, and surround channels deliver a widely dispersed surround sound, while at the same time delivering good direction and placement of sounds. Distinct details in surround effects, such as the motions of objects as they travel between speakers, were replicated well.  Overall, the sound reproduction of the satellite speakers is quite exciting, providing a superb balance between the need for a good surround sound movie experience and an awesome music listening experience.

SP-C21 Center Channel Speaker

Whether listening at low or high volume levels, this center speaker produces a robust output, with distortion free sound.  The quality of both movie dialog and music vocals was impressive, especially for this price range.  All-in-all, the SP-C21 is a surprising good center channel speaker.

SW-8 Powered Subwoofer

The subwoofer seems to be a good match for the rest of the speakers, combining fully with the crossover frequency transition between satellites and subwoofer.  In terms of balance, there is the subtle deep bass effect that is perfect for most music recordings.   The Pioneer SW-8 provides a fine balance with the rest of the system and does not exhibit the loud booming that plagues many inexpensive subwoofers.

There are many inexpensive Home Theater Speaker Systems or Home Theater-in-a-Box Systems available on the market today and one of the issues that you may find is this:  while they may provide the incredibly stunning effects for movies, they really are not very good for serious music listening.  If high quality sound  is important to you when listening to your favorite music, you will be delighted with this particular speaker system.  With the SP-PK21BS Home Theater Speaker System, Pioneer has certainly delivered a stylish, top quality, and reasonably priced line of speakers.  This system definitely raises the bar on how good inexpensive speakers can sound when attention is paid to quality design and implementation.

It does not matter whether you are a mainstream shopper looking for an inexpensive speaker system, or a more selective audiophile that typically would never even dream of using inexpensive speakers, be sure to consider these speakers.  Everyday consumers will be amazed and serious audiophiles will certainly be pleased with what they hear.
