If those Pioneers are anything close to the TAD speakers in sound quality you have made a great choice, imo. I hope you will be thrilled with them. I think Andrew Jones is one of those great speaker designers who can make stunning high end speakers and best-value speakers for others. Years back the TAD models he designed, that I heard, were superb. Hearing them was an impression made, never forgotten. Have fun with your S1s and let us know!

Well here it is. I sold my Tekton Double Impacts and my Lyngdorf 2170 a while back. I thought it sounded very good! I was getting out of audio and wasn't listening much anymore. Well..... now winter is here, I'm bored and have the itch to get something descent again.
I like rock/metal/bluegrass/ acoustic/ some country. I need impact and good midbass and low fatigue. I have a Crown DCI 4/300 and a upgraded Jolida Fusion preamp at the moment. Plenty of power for almost anything.
My biggest pet peeve is cabinets that start talking at high levels or when the sound hardens at high levels.
Willing to drive up to 300miles 1 way for the right deal and I am in West Mi. A little older does not bother me at all. I've just started looking and a few I've been eying are:
Aerial LR5 or Model 9
Dali MS4
LSA 20 statements (new)
KEF 205/2
Dynaudio Focus 360
Any others anyone feels I should keep an eye out for in this price range?
Thanks
