Our take
We all want to hear music the way it was intended to be heard. Clear, uncolored, impressive detail levels, wide soundstage (allowing music to exist in a large and detailed three-dimensional space - all from the comfort of your listening position)...However, the only problem separating us from this is money. It costs a lot to build a respectable HiFi setup in Malaysia.
Hence, we took it upon ourselves to explore and find the best of the best affordable entry-to-mid level audiophile gadgets...and here's Pioneer SP-BS22-LR created by world renowned speaker engineer Andrew Jones.
These are really good loudspeakers and they do a few things that very few others at this price point can even come close to pulling off! Not convinced?

The Inside Story
Crossover: The job of the cross over in a speaker is to break the audio signal into low, high and sometimes mid-range frequencies. It’s an important job, and it uses circuitry like inductors and capacitors to accomplish it. Much of the competition uses an extremely simple, low-cost cross over made up of a single capacitor and inductor. The Pioneer SP-BS22-LR utilizes a sophisticated 6 component high quality cross over. The reasoning is simple: we do it because it’s one more way of insuring high quality sound that makes its presence known.
Woofer: There are many challenges designing and manufacturing a woofer capable of delivering true bass performance. In the SP-BS22-LR, we’ve added a structured surface to the 4-inch woofer. By doing so, not only is rigidity improved, so is bass accuracy. Engineers have also vented the pole piece, again improving bass response from the same size woofers in previous models.
Tweeter: To widen the sweet spot of the 1-inch High Efficiency Soft Dome tweeter, we’ve engineered a custom wave guide. Increasing tweeter efficiency, together with newly designed crossovers, allows the SP-BS22-LR’s play louder using less power.
