  • Review: Pioneer A4 Wireless Speaker

    Streaming audio... plus sound quality

    I’ve reviewed a few of these types of speakers. Pioneer calls this one a “Wireless Speaker” but that’s not really adequate for the category. Music streaming speaker (MSS?) is probably more accurate, if less pithy.

    Either way, my experience has been that for most, it’s function first, quality second. As in, you get sound, but it’s not very good. Unless the MSS has some sort of special attention paid to sound quality, I try to avoid them.

    What got my attention with this one, then? Well, the A4 has been tuned by none other than Andrew Jones, and given how amazing his inexpensive Pioneer speakers are, I figured this doodad was worth a look.

    Test Report: Definitive Technology StudioMonitor SM65 and SM45 Speakers & Supercube 8000 Subwoofer

    DefTech’s new bookshelf speakers bring the bass.

    When I’m looking for speakers to review, I gravitate toward two types: ones that have the potential to sound great, and ones with weird designs. The former offer the potential for hours of joyous listening. The latter offer the potential for either a previously unimagined sonic nirvana or an audio train wreck, both of which are fun to write about.

    Definitive Technology’s $899-per-pair StudioMonitor SM65 fits both descriptions.
