Sorry, but they are not just OK. They are great. Been living with the NuPro A-200s for a good year now, as monitor speakers for the PC. Nationalism /off

Those look nice but they're 345 EUR each.

i didnt care for the looks

i like to have the option of taking the grils off .

no grills at all is something i could not handle.

i was shocked no larger drivers for those prices !

i am not saying theyre bad in any way, just expressing my impressions without hearing them,

True, out of his range. 300 CanDolls is not something you go fishing for a decent pair of speakers, though. Only used ones. Maybe some Brauns Nationalism /off again. No, honestly even older Braun models sound pretty fantastic. I got the M12 as stereo speakers with Kimber cables, spectacular. Maybe look for the LS 550 wall-mount speakers? Got a pair of those as well. Flat as they are, they do sound good.

yea those old brauns sound killer

i remember i hade heard a set in the 80's and when i went to see them i could not believe the sound coming out of them!

theyre were tiny!

My speakers are Danish, headphones are German, no complaints

True that. The UK kills at those.

I'm actually not happy with mine to be honest. My first one broke, luckily it was right before its warranty expired. We'll see how long the replacement lasts.

You did not tell the brand, did you?

Cambridge Audio DacMagic Plus

i ended up grabbing a onkyo and directly comparing and the pioneer def can out on top with sound quality

kind of anti-climactic tho because i got both the pioneer receivers but the 2 sets of speakers didnt arrive in time for my kids last day at school

ffs stoopid postal strike B.S

Hmm, that's bad. I had heard only good stuff about the CA DACs.

Plained, why'd you get your kids something that plays 192/24? Are they old enough to really appreciate it?
And I'm not into it but I had heard DSD is where it's at anyways.

now i grabbed sony dn860 and the pioneer beat that too.

i would like to do one last compare with maybe a comparable priced yamaha but i think i'll just give up and keep the pioneers.

one pair of the rtia3's showed up and they sound nice with the pioneer, plus they look nice!

also the pioneers interfaces are better for this purpose at this time because you dont need a tv plugged in them to menu thru and play music of usb and all that.

i dont want scrrens in the kids rooms at this time, they are more than responsible enough but i would rather them "listen" closely rather than "watch" closely at this time.

theyre 8.7 and 11.2 years old.

eh i figured this would be i nice thing for them, imo it is never too early a time to start enjoying fairly hq music sounds.

i dont know if you remember but last year i got them pretty neat minecraft setups and theyve really enjoyed them.

So they like listening to audio plays? Like Harry Potter and the like? It's awesome you bought them something that enriches the crystal-clear highs and the fat solid bass, not to mention the true as real mids.
Are you stupid?
Sorry, but I can't... I just can't.
Stay with the Pioneers, they always built good quality. Yamahas blow just after warranty. You may think about getting tape decks for the audio plays. Good old fashioned.

Edit: Sorry, I was a bit harsh.
But, don't you think a regular second hand setup would be just fine for their needs?

lol no not plays!

music ey the classics,50's 60's 70's 80's 90's 2000's +!

my kids are spackburgerish but they are actually quite sophisticated, they both crush at piano pretty hard and theyve had starter little sony blasters since the beginning so it is time to move up .

second hand for the kids rooms? uh no

My Audi has 21 speakers... ...

That's twenty more than your total amount of testicles!

Depending on the Model of your car you should have a BOSE-soundsystem installed, thats a good base!
A friend of mine has BANG&OLUFSEN in his R8 -out of the factory.
