Whats Included

Owner's manual
Pioneer 4" Bookshelf Speakers (Pair)

Q: How do I exactly connect these to my tv?

A: These speakers are not pre-amp powered. You have to have a receiver or amplifier of at least 50Watts RMS. These are hard wired (monster cable) with quick clips for connections. Your TV would have to have a RCA Audio output to an amp which then outputs to the speakers.

Q: what are the dimensions of each speaker. Seems to be conflicting info

A: The SP-BS22-LR measures 7-1/8" (w) x 12-9/16" (h) x 8-7/16" (d). This is the measurement according to the Operating Guide.

Q: I bought a pair in December 2016. I won't hook them up until my room is rearranged, although I have taken them from the box. It appears the grill CANNOT be removed. Has anyone else been able or not able to removes the grills from this speaker?

A: Hi Matthew, the grills can be easily removed applying a gentle pressure by the side. As a personal preference, I like the sound more with the grill on, just because the overall tone is less harsh.

Q: can these be hooked up to a desk top computer?

A: These can be connected to receiver which in turn can be connected to a computer. I currently have my set being driven by a Yamaha receiver which is connected via optical to my desktop computer.

Q: what is the weight of each speaker?

A: About 9 pounds each.

Q: Can i use these for a audio technica record player?

A: Yes you can use it with any kind of tv, sound system or other technical devices, you just will need some banana plugs.

Great sound and power
GENERAL I have a pair of these in a 360 sq ft theater room. I have these set up paired with the matching center and two floorstanding speakers (will be adding two more BS to get 7.1). Having spent a lot of money on a projector and screen money was very tight. These speakers came out on sale at frys which Amazon price matched and I decided to give BB a call to see if they would price match as well. They did. Got them same day with store pick up and I get points. SOUND WOW. I paid around $400 for 1 Pair FS, 2 Pair Bookshelf, 1 Center. I have only 1 Pair of BS set up right now and I was blown away. I have a large room and needed great and BALANCED sound. these easily compete with a set worth twice its value. If you're not a hardcore audiophile and are looking to start somewhere this is it. Look no further. These BS and powerful and deliver very accurate sound. Watching action movies make you feel apart of the movie. "CON" There size is large but if you want a good speaker you have to accept that. the annoying part about the size is that there is no mounting option. the speakers have no keyhole mount or pre-drilled holes. you have to put them on a shelf or buy and mount that uses tension to hold speaker in place. It may seem obvious that Bookshelf speakers to be placed in a bookshelf unit but that is NOT true. you need to leave at least 3-4" space behind the speaker to allow for the port to be unobstructed. Also, you dont want walls of a bookshelf impeding natural flow of sound. Best options are to install a shelf or buy tension speaker mounts that dont require drilling into the speaker. FYI my setup is paired with Klipsch Reference 12 sub and Denon AVR.

My ears are pleased !
Bought these as the surround speakers after I previously purchased the matching floor standing models from the Andrew Jones series by Pioneer. True that my comparison is really apples to oranges, because I came from a HTIB system that was several years old. After I purchased a modern receiver and the front floor standing models, I decided that I HAD to have the other models from this series. They are incredible, the clarity at high volumes is beautiful, the range is remarkable for a speaker of this size in my opinion. Assuming proper placement from a nearby wall (the venting ports face rearward) they do produce decent lows even. I purchased these on a black Friday sale that could not be beat. But planned on purchasing them before hand at full retail price! I would certainly not discourage anyone from getting the full set of the Andrew Jones series. Room acoustics play a major role in sound quality, so again could be apples to oranges, but a friend of mine has some very large (very expensive) speakers made a by some company that rhymes with "blipche", and we both agree that my system it's more clear at obnoxious volume levels than his. There are most likely fancier/better speakers out there, but I'll go out on a limb here and say that, at this price point, these cannot be beat!
