Pioneer SP-BS22-LR $89, Klipsch KB-15 $99, or something else?

Best Buy has a $50 off coupon right now, so I can get a pair of either set for $50. Which is better? I have zilch right now and a new HK AVR-1700 to run 'em.

It comes down to preference/taste - and what your ear can hear. Also, is is more than a loudness level.
My preference is the Pioneer speakers.

Do you have a budget you're trying to come in under? If not grab the Pioneer Fs52's for 150 after coupon..

Between those two, there's no question I'd also go with the BS22s. Heck, with that coupon, I may have to go pick up another pair too.

I like Klipsch, but I have to go with the Pioneer FS52's as Hizzah stated If you have room for them or the 22's for smaller setup. Where can I get that coupon and can I buy it online with it?

*edit - looks like they picked up on the fact that they screwed up and the deal is dead.

That sucks. You can always get the 22's($89 pair) or 52's($99 each) free shipping from tigerdirect.com If you call them and they have them in stock.

Went to buy the FS52s and as already stated, the deal was revoked and they wouldn't honor it. No sign on the door, nothing. I was pretty chapped. Half the time I go into Best Buy I end up leaving pissed off.

Between the two, get the Pioneers. Much easier on the ears over lengthy listening sessions than the Klipschs (I generally see them best as HT speakers and use a pair of RB51s as part of a setup for that), but the KB-15 isn't close to the Pioneers, much less the Klipsch Reference I or II lines.

Whoops, Best Buy Accidentally Gave Away $50 in a Coupon

What I learned was that Mastercard made the change to the terms, not Best Buy, since it was only their cardholders who could get the deals.
