Never again!

Verified Purchase:Yes
Bought this in 1/2019. Didn’t even last 3 years. Won’t even turn on. Contacted pioneer home for warranty claim, and they just forwarded me to a “certified” service center. Told me I have to ship it there on my dime but they will to ship it back. I will NEVER buy anything from pioneer again. Big item like this not lasting 3 years??? That’s isn’t the quality I’m looking for when purchasing a $1000 product. I recommend looking at a different company for that quality.

Decent mid level router

Speed is good. Setting up can be a bit quirky. Not too crazy about the Orbi control app. Range is excellent, wish it accepted more connections...but you get what you pay for. All in all, this is a decent mid level router.

Ok if you’re in desperate need of a wallet case, but the pocket fell apart and stretched pretty easily. There are better cases out there.

Pretty good.

Verified Purchase:Yes
Works very well. Wish it had smart mapping, but this level of mapping allows it to pause if battery is low and resume where it leaves off. Nice neat rows is a bit weird to see if you’re used to regular vacuuming by hand. Pretty impressed with the level of cleaning. Wife is ecstatic with this. I wish I would have spent a bit more money on the I7+ Just for the smart mapping, but this is pretty good.

i love these!
By glockmeister
I spent quite a while in the magnolia center listening to different setups, and finally decided to go with these as my front r/l speakers. i already had the 9040 center to match, so choosing a set within my budget was pretty easy.
i have pioneer lsx-503 pushing these. i am using the LFE input with these and ihave the speakers set to large (against DT recommendations), as recommended from a sound and vision reviewer. i must say these sound excellent. the bass these produce is deep and tight without sounding too boomy. i was skeptical of the bass produced in the magnolia sound room as they were not using the LFE channel, but i was not disappointed when i got them hooked up at home. the highs are not tinny, and the mids are warm and comforting.
i have not expierenced what others have reported with these towers (humming noise, rattling nose, or reversed polarity on audessey setup).
they are a bit pricey at regular price, but if you wait for a sale they are well worth it. after all said and done, i got them for approximatly bogo.
all in all i am very happy with these and they mix very well with my mirage MX bookshelfs for surrounds.

edit

so i have switched my hook-ups for these a little bit.
i have since changed it from LFE in, to just high level in, and have switched the speaker size to small due to getting a high end 15" sub.
honestly....it sounds much better than it did.

Is the silver base stand required for use? Trying to fit these in a smaller space in Living Room and the cabinet of speaker will fit, but base too wide. Thanks

i wouldn't use them without the bases. they are very tall, and although they are bottom heavy, i believe they would tip over pretty easy.

I have a Bose Accoustimass 5.1 home theater, and a Yamaha Aventage Rxa 760 receiver, will this 2 speakers a good addition to make my sorround 7.1 and make it sound better playing music?

i don't think they would match appropriately. bose are designed very specifically. i think that the 9060's would be too much and the sound would be out of balance.

Can I use the bp9060 for surround left and right?

technically yes, you can. but be careful with room size. i have a 14'x18' room and they are MORE than enough as front l/r. i can't imagine how it would sound with them set for rears as well.

depending on room size, if you are dead set on getting towers for the back you may want to look at the 9040's or maybe the DT offset surrounds.

but yes.....they would probably be awesome for surrounds.
