I had the predecessor to these speakers years ago, and ya they sounded good, but not great. Mind you that was the old school era of things. I have not heard these components, so I can not pass judgment. I just personally do not like Pioneer, I have beefs with their quality and build. But thats just me, these may be what your looking for, so dont do amything until you have explored all options. As per my PM I forgot you had an amp and it should be ok, a tad tiny, but will run what you need.
