Pioneer Andrew Jones vs EMPTek Impression

[DanOh62]

Would I be better off going with the Pioneers or EMPtek Impressions?

1. Pioneer Andrew Jones Designed Bookshelf (SP-BS22-LR) and Center Channel (SP-C22) + sub I guess EMPtek ES10i sub.
2. EMPtek Impression 5Bi bookshelf, 5ci Center, ES10iSub
3. Other?


My budget for Bookshelf, center and sub is less than $1000

Here is what I have recently purchased:

Receiver: Yamaha RX-V675BL 7.2 ch Home Theater System Network AV Receiver
Rears: Polk Audio TC60i In-Ceiling Speaker

The room is 20x25, hardwood floors with vaulted ceilings that peak at 12 feet.


Thanks!

I have heard EMP's E55Ti and a emp's dual 1010 sub in a room much smaller than your mancave and Imo hands down you need much more sub than a single 10"
I highly recommend 1) but with much more potent sub like Outlaw LFM-EX1 or SVS PB12-NSD

Hi and welcome! Since you are on a budget for $1,000 I'd suggest the Pioneers SP-BS22, SP-C22 center and a SVS PB-1000 and add a 2nd. one later: PB-1000 - SVS
or (2) OSD PS-10 which I have and really like and was favorably reviewed by our member Jman: PS10 10" High Powered Premium Home Theater Subwoofer

Here I go resurrecting old threads . I'm currently running the BS-22s with the matching center C-22. I'm within the return window if need be. Are the Emptek (RBH) Impression series a better "bang for the buck" than the Pioneer AJ's??
