Product Description
This Pioneer Center Channel speaker features a Bass-Reflex enclosure, a type of speaker enclosure that includes a "tuned" port to increase and extend bass response (by releasing some of the energy created by the inward movement of the woofer cone). Bass reflex designs are more power-efficient than acoustic suspension designs. They will play louder than an acoustic suspension speaker when driven with the same amplifier power. This speaker has a wide frequency response that can even handle the latest in high-resolution music, SACD and DVD Audio.The center-channel speaker is critical to hearing movie dialogue.

Nice Performing Speaker for the Price.......2007-11-09
I have no problems at all with the performance of this speaker for my home theater audio setup. Gives you all you could want and more than you would expect for the price. Only thing that stops it from getting 5 stars is the visual looks - little bigger, squarer, and boxier than I was hoping. I am still working on hiding it a little bit better to stop detracting from the beautiful large screen.
NOT IMPRESSED.......2007-10-31
I am so not impressed with this centre speaker. the main problem is the low output for my large room. i have to have the volume close to max to get the dialogue clearly in surround mode. the sound just doesn't carry. this is using a 5.1 (100W x5) pioneer AV receiver. the quality is also no better than what i get from my tru picture Toshiba t.v. anyway so what's the point??? luckily i have a pair of great front speakers to rescue the surround experience. i may give this away and try another brand soon. would recommend looking elsewhere really.
You can spend more it you want to.......2006-11-29
I am not an audiophile, but I like good sound. Trying to keep a home audio system within a fairly tight budget, and having read the reviews [...], I bought the Pioneer S-HF11C center channel speaker in order to hear the dialog often missing from the television's more fuzzy sound.
I have been quite impressed with this speaker. The voices and even music from DVDs are much clearer than before. Watching television itself is a much more enjoyable experience with the center channel speaker.
This speaker is solidly built. If you are looking for a good center channel speaker and don't want (or need) to spend a lot, you won't go wrong.
The only negative is that there is a slight buzz in the speaker when I turn on the receiver/amplifier. However, it disappears within a minute. I expect it to disappear completely after the speaker is broken in.

Awesome outdoor speaker!.......2007-09-21
We only bought one of these speakers, since we already had four other outdoor speakers. This speaker is better than the other two types that we already have. The sound is so clear, its like a live concert in our backyard. We are planning on getting two more, to replace a twenty plus year old pair of outdoor bose speakers, (also a great buy!)

great sound; design flaws.......2007-08-10
These speakers sound GREAT. However, there appear some design flaws. First and foremost, the power cords don't "seat" well and tend to pull out too easily. Secondly, the loud "pop" when they are turned on and off is annoying--I don't know if it is damaging to the speakers or not, but it sure sounds like it. Thirdly, they're not really a "pair", just two of the same speaker, so there are two on/off switches, two volume controls and two sets of tone controls. That being said, they are very good sounding portable speakers. Very convenient--just plug in your IPod and you're done. I bought them for my daughter's dorm room, but I have used them outside with a projector to show movies on the side of the house! When she leaves for school, I am probably buying another set!
Great sound, Perfect for classical music.......2006-12-08
These speakers sound very clean, and work very well together. They can't quite replace the need for a subwoofer, as the bass sounds a little forced. They're perfect for listening to classical music, which I do a lot of. The sounds is especially crisp for vocal and orchestral works. However, for hip-hop, which I also listen to, the bass is somewhat weak. Overall, a great deal!
Advent speakers produce an awesome sound.......2006-11-04
I had my computer for about two years without any speakers. Finally, I decided to add shielded, self-powered speakers that occupied a small footprint. When a pair of Advent AV570 70 Watt 2-Way Powered speakers arrived, I removed them from the packing. Small, yes; heavy, yes; easy to hook up with the enclosed cables, yes. I fired up the computer and headed to iTunes. The sound's magnitude is huge, beyond my wildest hopes! Movie sound tracks came to life. Via the stereo imaging, dialogue is magically centered. The AV570 speakers remarkably handle low frequencies. It's easy to adjust the EQ, should anyone want more treble or bass. Each speaker also has a knob to set the volume levels, and no distortion whatsoever emerges. Other people stop by to listen. They can hardly believe their ears. In my opinion, the AV570 is the best small speaker system on the market!
Best sounding computer speakers!.......2006-09-29
I hooked these puppies up to my computer and they rock. I have a serious audiophile stereo system and these sound nearly as good at one tenth the cost. Good bass and treble controls, sound is great even played softly, and really kick turned up loud. The only thing I am going to change is get longer wires so I can get better separation. Use them with anything that has a headphone jack for great sound.
Simply the best........2006-09-13
Use them in combination with an AirPort Express Base Station and you can kiss all the wireless speakers on the market good bye. Tons of power and great sound quality.

Good bargain speaker - once you fix the crossover........2007-12-09
Don't let the low price deter you from trying these out. I auditioned them at a local electronics store and was surprised at how well they compared to other bookshelf speakers costing two or three times as much. I was pleasantly surprised at the amount of clean bass they generated. However, the upper midrange seemed lacking and the treble was way too bright. Happily, I was able to fix these flaws with some minor modifications - see below.
The cabinet construction and materials are basic, but get the job done. It's made of 3/8" fiberboard with a simulated black woodgrain veneer. The removable speaker grille is made of black fabric stretched over a frame of the same black fiberboard. The all black color, combined with it's small size, make these bookshelf speakers almost disappear - perfect for those whose significant other objects to larger tower speakers.
The 5.25 inch woofer uses a PVA treated paper cone and foam surround. The tweeter is a 1 inch titanium done. The crossover is a single 2.2uF capacitor. These speakers are ported, and the port exits to the rear, so be sure to leave a few inches of clearance behind these speakers so the port can breathe properly. The speakers are NOT magnetically shielded, so keep them away from your CRT based TVs or monitors.
These speakers BADLY need a crossover makeover to get the tweeter under control. I added a 2.4 ohm, 5 watt rated resistor in series with the tweeter to tone down the excessive highs. I then replaced the 2.2uF electrolytic capacitor with two 2.2uF polyester capacitors in parallel, for a total of 4.4uF. This brought down the crossover frequency to around 4300 Hz, which filled in the weak upper mids/lower treble. These mods make this speaker a real joy to listen to, whereas before, the excess sibilance was sometimes irritating, and the weak upper mids left vocals seem flat and distant. Give these mods a shot! I hope they work for you.
good bang for the buck.......2007-07-08
first-i am disapointed w/amazon for not specifying " sold each " be careful. I had to re-order once i rec'd my first unit. Maddening ! Who buys 1 speaker ? Shame on amazon for the deception !! So i bought two for $52. Still not bad. The spec sheet is also confusing. One says 55k-20K
another part states 75k-20K. As it turns out their 75k. ( Good bassey speakers are 45-60K.) If you pair these up w/ larger say 6-8" 3 way units as i have, then they compliment ea.other fine. If you want these for a sm. audio system, in a bedrm or sm. office their fine. They look and sound good. Appear well made. I like the compactness. A good buy overall.
Good speakers for the price........2007-01-04
A pair of these would run you around 45 for shipping and everything (unless the raise the price), but they're well worth it. I bought a pair for my turntables and a pair of more expensive Sony's for my computer, and honestly, they both sound the same quality. Its pretty good, a lot better than just standard speakers, thats for sure. No real crackling or hizzing going on with these, I sugguest buying the Labtec Pulse 485 subwoofer speaker set, cutting the wires of those speakers, and using them on these, and plugging them into the subwoofer. Creates a great deep sound, and its what I have done to both my computer and turntables. A lot cheaper than a stereo receiver. If you got the money, these are a good buy.

Ideal for left, right and center channel speakersDual polypropylene woofer with butyl rubber surrounds1" soft dome swivel tweeterDesigned to fit between studs (16" spacing)Video shielded
Product Description
These Indoor / Outdoor speakers feature the same components as the Top-Rated DV52si bookshelf. These are the smallest satellites that can deliver full-range output to below the built-in sub- woofer crossover point for Dolby Digital receivers. Both the cloth indoor and anodized screen outdoor grilles are packed with each pair. Designed for optional wall or corner mounting. Ideal for use with ALL surround & music Formats.
Amazon.com Product Description
Proving that outdoor speakers can sound just as good as indoor models, the Adatto DV52si indoor/outdoor speakers boast the same components as BIC America's top-rated DV52si bookshelf speakers. This means the versatile satellites have enough bass output to fall below the built-in subwoofer crossover point for Dolby Digital receivers, ensuring that users won't miss a note whether listening to their favorite tunes on the patio or enjoying surround sound movie soundtracks in the living room. The resulting audio is warm, precise, and full-bodied, with an accuracy and tone that dwarfs speakers many times their size.
The speakers mount easily on either a wall or ceiling corner, giving listeners a host of installation options. Locate them near an outdoor hot tub, under a roof eve in the garden, or above the back deck, where the weather-resistant housing will hold up to both sun and wind exposure. The speakers aren't completely waterproof, however, so BIC America recommends installing them under a covering. To further protect the speakers, the company included an anodized screen grille, which keeps water splashes and drizzle from damaging the components. When locating them indoors, merely pop off the anodized grille and add the cloth indoor grille instead.
Audio-wise, each speaker boasts a 5.25-inch polypropylene cone woofer and 0.5-inch poly dome tweeter, which combine to deliver a frequency response of 70 Hz to 20 kHz. Additional specs include an 8-ohm impedance, a sensitivity of 90 dB, and a crossover frequency of 5 kHz. The speakers perform particularly well when combined with other BIC America home theater speakers, which are tonally matched to complement the Adattos and are video shielded to prevent image interference. Each speaker handles 10 to 125 watts and measures 6.25 by 9 by 6 inches (W x H x D). The pair is also backed by a seven-year warranty when used indoors and a two-year outdoor warranty.

Awesome.......2007-11-09
I use four of these in a 7.1 surround sound for the surrounds, they sound really good, and it's very easy to mount them on the wall, I used to have them mounted so they were tilted down at the listening room, but I tried mounting them straight out into the room and I get a much more spacious surround effect that way, I also use the BIC DV52CLR for left,right, and center and the whole system sound very very good, my only weak spot is probably the Infinity sub I'm using, its not bad just want a little more bottom end, it's only an 8 inch woofer, but the BIC are terrific value in my opinion, not the best but at this price you cant beat them.
Tough little guys!.......2006-12-07
I had a pair of Adatto speakers mounted outdoors, under the eaves facing my back desk and hot tub, for over six years in a climate the freezes, bakes, rains, you name it. They played often, loud and well. I just sold the house, leaving the speakers mounted, and so just bought another pair for the new house. They do not have deep bass, but from the lower midrange to the top end I can't imagine there's anything better for the price.
Awesome Speakers!.......2006-05-31
I bought these speakers initially for upgrading my 5.1 home theater system to 7.1 especially for their power handling, bass response level and past experience with BIC America products.
My room wasn't the right layout for these speakers, so I immediately decided to use them outdoors to replace my worn Bose 151s on the deck. A quick swap of the grilles to the outdoor set included and they were in business.
These Adatto DV52si completely blow away the Bose 151. Superb dynamic range from high to low. We're talking WOW! Even though the speakers are mounted on the house, the base shook my deck.
You simply cannot buy better outdoor speakers at any price or overhyped brand!
Great Speakers for a small space.......2006-03-15
We can't find anything wrong with these speakers- full bass, clear and crisp sound delivered, and at a reasonable price- the sound fills the room, and they look great in our white-cabinet kitchen. We recommend these for anyone looking for big sound from small book-shelf sized speakers.
Great Speakers.......2005-10-21
I already have these speakers (4) as part of my indoor surround sound. I bought these speakers for my backyard. Great sound for about half the price of better known speakers.
Product Description
The DV52CLR-B center channel is the perfect match for the DV52si bookshelves and Adatto DV52si indoor/outdoor speakers. The two 5 1/4" woofers and 1/2" polyamide tweeter combine for top-rated performance in this price range.

Awesome.......2007-11-09
I own 3 of these and use them for left, right and center, very nice sounding, for the price you cant beat them, I checked out some JBL's last night at best buy and the drivers in these BIC's seem better quality. Only problem with the BIC are there are not the best looking, but in my medium size living room I get alot of good detailed sound. Was looking to upgrade this Christmas but after looking around I think these are still keepers until I can afford some expensive one's.
awsome center speaker!!!!.......2006-08-11
i just got this thing in the mail and i am very pleased with the speaker. i just about had the volume at max (listening for distortion) and it held up very nice, the sound stayed great. for the price you cant go wrong, get this speaker and you wont be dissapointed.

Outstanding Center Channel Speaker!.......2006-05-31
You won't find a better center channel speaker or warranty at any price from any other brand when matching size or specifications of actual components.
BIC doesn't spend a lot of money on hype, slick websites, product manuals, or advertising. They just make great speakers that despite the price are actually of amazing quality.
