Pioneer S-HS100 910 W 5.1 Channel Bookshelf Speaker

Partnered these with a Pioneer VSX-528-K AV Receiver that recommends a 6-16 ohm speaker resistance. Some audio equipment specifies 8-16 ohms, so make sure 6 ohms is not too low for your brand. As others have said the sound quality is very good for the small outlay in cost in hi-fi speaker terms. The powered Sub woofer uses a shielded lead with phono plug connection to the Sub Woofer pre out of the receiver. Good bass definition, much better than the passive type I used before on an out of the box Sony home cinema system. I house the sub woofer in a cupboard next to my system so it's out of sight when not in use and just open the door when it is, the surround speakers are pretty discreet and easily wall mounted. To hide the wires I used small D shape self-adhesive cable trunking that can be painted to match the wall colour. I also used my own better quality speaker cables instead of those provided in the kit.One thing to watch out for with the four small speakers as they all look the same, is that two are marked front and two marked surround, I missed that when first installing them, the front ones are a little heavier as they must have a different driver set up.

So I had the Samsung HW-K950 Atmos soundbar with rear wireless speakers and wireless sub for a few months and while it sounded amazing it wasn't a true ATMOS experience due to the up firing "bounce" speakers. It also has some flaws such as random disconnection or just no sound at all until reset. Due to these issues and an issue of finance after losing my job I decided to sell said Sammy product and made it my goal to get ATMOS back for a fraction of the cost.I managed to locate an Onkyo ATMOS receiver FREE from an online freecycle group, yeah I know I got lucky there! And after reading reviews of these multiple cheap 5.1 speaker packages I plumped for the Pinoeer S-HS100. As it's a 5.1 system I bought two sets and pinched a set of cubes to use in my 5.1.2 configuration. I now have a spare sub and 3 speakers that I'll probably sell on. So how does it sound? Well my 2 height speakers are now ceiling height and it makes a huge difference to the "bounced" sound from the 950. Everything feels much higher and elevated. All speakers are nice, small and heavy and sound great. The bass is strong but can get a bit flappy if run too high but there is a dial on the back to tweak this. I personally think this sounds better than the £1300 HW-K950 and once it's been running a few weeks will continue to improve. If you are looking into ATMOS then you've probably been on YouTube and seen tons of videos from Audiophiles with huge speakers that take over the living room. Yes, these will give you top end sound with extreme clarity but if you want wife friendly, good ATMOS audio it can be done on a budget. In the end the material has a lot to do with the ATMOS experience and it's head and shoulders above DD 5.1.

Great entry-level home-cinema speaker system.I had high-end HIFI system in the past and I'm very impressed with this one.Its only entry-level and it would not be good choice for an audiophile but it will certainly be a great set up for typical home cinema. There in no better choice for this price (I've paid £103 for whole set on Amazon.co.uk). Sound is rich, high tones are reproduced correctly although lacks high and lower spectrum. Middle tones are enough for home-cinema (underpowered) but will leave audiophile unsatisfied. Low tones are reproduced almost perfectly (in this price range) with deep and juicy sound.Before purchase I've checked number of shops and researched internet forums on potential low-cost choices.If you looking for a more than average set under £150 to connect to good quality amp this is very good pick.

I bought these with no expectation of sound quality due its low price. There is very little mid-range on these units to my ears, they have a huge bass, which was too loud even when it was almost turned off, i can see many loving this though. The center speaker was boxy sounding and nasal and the 4 other speakers have too much treble. Overall not easy on the ears in my opinion. I sent them back and got a full refund. Great seller communication throughout though, so recommend them. Really its the pitfall of buying something you need to listen to before you buy so no harm done in that respect. Others have liked these so who knows maybe i got a bad batch so don't be too put off by me.

The sound not good not happy

Easy to set up if you follow the instructions. Loads of quality speaker wires, which are coded to make it easy. The mains powered base speaker is awesome and can be turned up or down to suit your ears. Stunning surround effect from the 5 smaller speakers. Follow the guide to set up the balance of each pair of speakers and the larger central one, and you get a real surround sound experience. Makes watching a DVD like going to the cinema. Great build quality and fantastic value for money too. Recommended 10/10.

It is very good sound I like it.

Outstanding 5.1 surround.. Completely took me by surprise how good this is for the money, the sub performs far better than I expected, not as boomy as my previous sub (paradigm PDR 10) which is a good thing as boomy subs can be a bit overkill in small rooms (mine is 12x11) the 5 satellites are all very good quality, crystal clear sound.. Upon purchasing this I thought I was downgrading.. I couldn't be more wrong..
