Pros: This center speaker is impressive for it's clarity and dynamic range. It has superior voice production and truly amazing punch for theater sounds. The cabinet is large but considering it's function it's not over sized. The center channel has to produce a lot of sound and needs to be powerful enough to generate volume levels that give presence and depth to movies and this speaker does it very well. Even at high volumes the distortion levels are minimal and when reviewers complain about the size of this unit then it's questionable how much volume they want in their home theater. As much as we'd love to believe that size doesn't matter in speakers it simply does because of physics. This speaker is great in it's price range. Great, not good or acceptable, it's a steal of a deal and if you find it on sale that's even better. It sounds terrific in combination with the Andrew Jones series and though I originally bought them for a smaller room I've now duplicated the entire surround system in my den with the Atmos speakers. It should be noted that the unit comes with small rubber cushions that provide a limited but helpful adjustment to angle the direction of the speaker.

Cons: Cosmetics aren't a primary concern for me. If you need a fabulous wood finish then this is not for you. Measure your space if using it in a cabinet.

Overall Review: I love this speaker. It's a great product for not a lot of cash and it's been rugged and durable in all of the movies I've watched. It has a wonderful ability to sound great with blockbuster action films which is essential but for my money an even better ability to produce great vocals for films focused on dialogue. It won't produce uber low bass tones because it isn't designed for that purpose. Use this in conjunction with the appropriate surround system and you'll be delighted with the way it performs.

Pros: Unit has inputs for three microphone (two front - 1 rear) and they seem to work well.

Cons: The main problem was a lack of power to all of the speakers. When used with Pioneer 22 series speakers (tower fronts, book shelf rear and center channel) this receiver would never supply much volume. When used with Yamaha or Pioneer receivers these same speakers deliver a large amount of sound on very modest 5.1 models. No matter what source was used the unit just never produced much sound. The Bluetooth connection was cranky when connecting and didn't have great range. It's to be expected that Bluetooth isn't a long distance device but even 20 feet away with direct line of sight cause a signal drop. That's with android cell phones, tablets and a laptop with built in BT. The remote is pretty basic and not especially powerful. Line of sight helped but even then the range gets iffy at about 15 feet. The adjustment for speaker volume is limited and there are no sound field selection options. The volume for microphones was actually a more convenient adjustment than for other sources. The unit had a very dim display, visible under low light conditions only. Hopefully it was this specific unit that was defective and not typical of the model in general.

Overall Review: No. This unit failed in ever department except for the microphone connections and controls. Under-powered is the kindest thing I can say about it. Newegg is amazing. Truly wonderful response for RMA and getting return taken care of. Every experience should be so simple and easy. I'm a long timer with Newegg and this was the first time I needed to return a product so it was great to see that they're every bit as good as I'd hoped.

Pros: The sound from this sub is remarkably musical with nice punch. The sub is perfect with the AJ series of speakers, it's clear that it was well engineered. When used in surround/atmos configuration this sub is a dynamic player of movies and assorted music. It's surprising how much low bass this sub generates.

Cons: This is an 8 inch sub and it's not a high powered unit so it can't fill a large room. That's only a con if you have hopes of earth shaking bass. The cabinet is plain and unexceptional looking. It matters for some.

Overall Review: I bought this for my son to use in an Atmos 5.1.2 configuration and it sounds terrific. It's not expensive and it's great bang for the buck. I especially enjoy the Pioneer AJ series when all of the speakers are matched. The center and the sub do impressive jobs in their specialized duties. The tower and bookshelf speakers in this system generate a surprising amount of bass but this sub really shines and rounds everything out.

Pros: This speaker is the FS52 aka the "new" upgrade to the Pioneer FS51. I've purchased several pair of them in both incarnations and they rock. The FS52 is just a bit taller so you get a slightly more on axis tweeter dispersion. It's also got a textured surface on the speakers to give them more rigidity. Other improvements are detailed on the selling page if you're interested but I mention these because they actually seem to matter in sound production. They're bright and clear with a surprising amount of bass. Surprising because of the price. I wouldn't have believed that I could buy speakers this good at anything like this price. The upper register is clear without being strident and female voices come though with a remarkable sense of natural sound. The woofers in this speaker aren't huge but they do a good job overall and I find them especially good with percussive sounds. Music is good no matter what genre you're listening to but my own experience is that they favor the rock sound over classical. Surprisingly some of my jazz recordings are great on these and orchestral strings are decent as well. Without a doubt it's a factor in purchasing these that they have done wonders for entry level Surround sound systems. This is where they rise to greatness. It's simply amazing how much sound and how clear the sound is while watching videos. They're real workhorses in a surround configuration and it's not something I'd expected but they do a bang up job with action and with dialogue.

Cons: Their plain looking black cabinets won't win any awards but they're solid and have a nice heft to them. If you require the piano finish or something exotic these will turn you right off. They aren't as good as speakers in the $500.00 range. That isn't a con considering their price but some have remarked t about that in comparisons. Keep the apples and oranges separate please.

Overall Review: I'm very pleased to have caught these on sale and frankly didn't need this latest pair right now but I'm sending a son to college and they'll go with him. I've used them in numerous 5.1s for my family and everyone loves them. The new FS52 do a great job as an all around speaker and though you'll really want a subwoofer for the system for that lowest of bass sound they do a fine job without breaking the bank. I use every component in the AJ series and they match beautifully. Some remark that the CS22 is a large cabinet and I'd agree but it really pushes a tremendous amount of center channel specific sound and it's quite good for that purpose. I've been a passionate lover of high end audio for decades and I'd hate to think of the money I've spent in the past to get speakers this good. Sound has improved over the years and audiophile grade equipment is nothing short of spectacular now. The same can be said of the AJ Pioneer speakers. They aren't for those with golden ears but they're amazing in their price class. I can't imagine any speaker system currently available in this price range that could form a 5.1+ system that sounds anywhere near a great as this one.

Pros: Battery life is good

Cons: Transmission is slow to Chrome book or cell phone. Loading files to wireless drive via usb is medium paced. Range is questionable.

Overall Review: Really wanted to love this drive. I got it for traveling and light media use. It does it's job, not with stellar performance but it gets there eventually. Streaming movies wasn't so hot but music was fine. The drive has a delay when you access a file but once you get the hang of it you can manage well enough. It's a concept that works and has a lot of promise but could use a little polish on the execution. Honestly not a bad product but don't expect to be wowed by it's performance.

Pros: This speaker is the next generation of Pioneer surround tower speakers and I have the SP FS 51 model as well to compare it with and pass an opinion on. It's great, it's everything most people say about it in rave reviews. It produces a surprising amount of sound and it's honestly quite open in all the frequencies. Highs are crisp and bright without being strident. Mids are very good, female voices come through with clear natural tones. The Bass is good and not boomy or muddy. These speakers won't produce the very lowest sounds you'll want, for that you do need a sub, but they're well able to deliver a well rounded package for movies and music. Music is definitely more challenging for the speakers in terms of balance and natural sounds. They're very good at it. Movie sound is even better for them and honestly where they can really shine. They have great dynamic range when supplied by BR movies and do a bang up job with imaging. I've used them with several power sources and never had any problems producing very large amounts of sound. Honestly I'm surprised by these speakers because the model before them produced great volume but also had larger bass and midrance speakers. The changes have really been for the good. They're a bit brighter and more natural than the FS51s while being a few inches taller for better tweeter placement.

Cons: They aren't a glamorous looking speaker if that's important to you. The cabinet is a very standard sort of look and won't win any exotic design awards.

Overall Review: I can't say enough good things about these speakers. They produce a level of quality sound that is far above others in their price range. They aren't a thousand bucks for each speaker and they don't sound like ultimate audiophile speakers, that's a fact. They do sound very good and one could say amazing in their price class. All of the speakers in the AJ design series seem to perform well above their class and deliver a huge bang for the buck. I set my son up with a complete surround sound system including receiver and sub for under $1k and it sounds like it costs far more. He uses it for his computer and for game consoles and none of the speakers ever fail. I'd have suspected the sub to wimp out if any of them did but after over a year of punishing demands they keep going strong. Buy them. If you can catch them on sale, even better. You can buy these speakers at some of the big box stores but I've never gotten better and easier customer service than Newegg provides.
