snag the jamos

Go for the Jamo's. They are pretty well built and should sound respectable.

The Pioneers are cool vintage speakers and both will sound ok at moderate levels but both pairs are overpriced for local sales on CL. The Mach 2's would be ok but way overpriced too and the surrounds probably need replaced.

The Infinities are crap in my opinion and wouldn't waste time or money on them. If they were free..... maybe.

I may see if I can snag the Jamo's. These will be used in my office. I'll then move my JBL HLS410's to the home theater setup as fronts.

The Jamo price is a god deal... made in denmark, right? Good build quality. I've never heard them , but I've held some Jamo stuff, and it was built right!

On the others...

I like the sound of the Pioneer brown speakers, though many people don't. But mine also came with some sort of Pioneer titanium dome-looking tweeter that gives some nice crisp highs. That brown tweeter will be pretty dull.

I have a smaller pair of Pioneer that look a lot like those cs-a50's and they look absolutely beautiful to me, but they sound like crap. If they were cheaper, I'd buy them and transplant some better speakers into them. They are so sexy late 60's/early 70's styling!

The infinities - those cheap tweeters in the smaller pair suck, but I like the sound from the mid/bass on them. I also enjoy the smooth, but precise sound on the polycell tweeters from the bigger pair. If you want bookshelf speakers, you could transplant the polycell tweeters into the smaller set and have a nice office pair!
