Strength:

Everlasting Speakers, Very wide and flat frequency response range, beautiful walnut cabinets, powerful yet very natural and warm sound that you will fall in love with.

Weakness:

None

I bought Pioneer CS-99a speakers in mint condition along with Samsung 7070 receiver 3 months ago. Those speakers are considered to be the "most brilliant speakers Pioneer ever made" along with HPM-100 speakers. Indeed they have a very impressive specs:

15" "FB" (Free Beating) woofers with material surrounds (no rotting), 5 way, 6 speaker, 22Hz-25,000Khz, 97Db, 100W

I set them up at my business demo room that is about 1000sf. What a sound!!! Even listening to MP3s brought a whole new dimention into it!

The Samsung receiver is also among the best and is an absolutely perfect match for the speakers!

I had a few freinds over and all commented that they have not heard a better, warmer and more realistic sound than this...

The sound is totally intoxicating - you just can't get enough of it. I have a Boston Acoustics VR-50s at home and I like them a lot but I can't even compare it.

Only after listening to this setup you realize that the technology available today is just that - a technology to get an OK sound from cheaper components.
Another friend of mine said that he had not heard a sound like that even when he shopped in $3K-$5K speaker range - he was totally overwhelmed.

If you can find them in good shape - this will be the best speakers your money will buy!
