Buckle up, guys!!!
Two years ago, we were absolutely amazed by Pioneer's SP-PK52FS 5.1 Floorstanding Speaker System. Designed by world-renowned speaker engineer Andrew Jones, this speaker system demonstrated what a true engineer/designer could do when partnered with the right company. This system was receiving amazing reviews from the audio community (me included). It even got the attention of our President, Gene DellaSala, who decided to personally test review this system. It was an awesome review by the way!!!!!

After witnessing what they were capable of with such an affordable design, I thought it would take a long time before seeing them doing it again. Oh, yes....they have done it again!
Pioneer and Andrew Jones are now introducing their new Atmos Enabled Elite Concentric Speaker System consisting of two towers, two surrounds, one center and a subwoofer. We already have a preview on this nice speaker system that you can read here:

Although we already have a full system preview, I'm getting ready to post a separated thread dedicated to each speaker alone and I'd like to dedicate this thread to their new SP-EC73 Dolby Atmos Elite Concentric Center Speaker. This way we can share our impressions and talk about the characteristics, features and specifications of each one separately and also benefit many audio enthusiasts looking for a specific speaker rather than a full system.
This center speaker features a small, elegant cabinet allowing it to integrate with the rest of the equipment. It has an additional 5 ¼-inch passive radiator which enhances bass impact, and an oversized magnet to ensure greater bass control, while a 1½-inch long throw voice coil improves power handling. It also has a 1-inch soft-dome tweeter which has been positioned in the center of an aluminum midrange. As all the Elite speakers, this center features Gold-plated connectors and multi-element, complex crossovers. Every cabinet of the Elite speakers, were designed with gently curved sides to eliminate standing waves encountered in typical square-box designs. The CST driver is mounted in its own individual enclosure, isolating it from the pressure waves in the main enclosure.
Will these new Elite speakers change the way we listen to budget speakers AGAIN?.... Time will tell the whole story. In the meantime, don't forget to check out the following features and click on the attached pictures for technical specifications. Also don't forget to share this with your friends and comment on our Elite products threads.

- Pioneer Elite developed CST driver.
