Very nice! Glad to see this is back, as I just started having problems with my current center channel this week. Thinking about grabbing a new center and the matching towers to go with some old wharfedale bookshelves.

I was going to bump this up earlier.

The SP-BS41-LR is the one all the glowing reviews are on iirc.

Yes, those are the ones I originally bought (at much higher price because Newegg no longer had them at the time), and my impression is that they sound bass deficient without a sub (combined with Pioneer's sub on sale, it is a really nice 2.1 system in a small room (though I wouldn't recommend for a bedroom system because mine produces a low level hum even in standby), but I like the floorstanders better.

Added the center and very surprised how meaty the bass sounds.

I tested the 41 with a Pioneer VSX-01 and was underwhelmed listening to music. I think something like an NAD integrated or even the Pioneer A-35R might be better if you are focused on music, but if that is primary use, I think I might spend a little more and get bookshelves totally designed for music alone.

For home theater on a budget, it is a great set (51 floorstand front left and right, C21 center, and either the 41 or even another set of 51 as surrounds). The cheaper 21 bookshelves have a different woofer (4 inch) and cut off frequency than rest of the series (which uses 5.25 inch woofer).

On sale again with newsletter subscriber promo codes.

Floorstanders and center are very nice for the price.

In for the floorstanders, center, and larger bookshelves for 449.97 - discounts = $269.97 out the door.

Matching to a Denon 591 and a Bic F12 sub.

So how badly am I going to miss my Logitech's?

I kid.
