This is an old thread, but it seems to get attention every few years. I found other threads knocking all things made under this pioneer brand, but I wanted to add another opinion about the Centrex MCL-3. When I got these I thought they were an upscale version of pioneer, they looked like they were. These speakers I'm listening to look better made and sound better than most pioneers I've heard from the early 80s. I've been going through a lot of speakers this weekend including EV Aristocrat and Esquire, HPM-100, B&W 802, Klipsch Heresy and Cornwalls, JBL S99, Dynaco a25, and so on. I'm not saying these little bookshelf speakers belong on that list, but I'm mentioning those to say when I sat down to listen to these little bookshelf speakers after hearing these others all weekend, I was pleasantly surprised by them and listened through an album or two and still thought they sounded fairly good. They also look good with the rosewood veneer. I think if someone is looking for smaller budget speakers, these are a good choice.
