One of the world's best budget 5.1 speaker package. Designed by Andrew Jones, a man best known in the audiophile community for ultra-high-end TAD speakers that sell for $80,000 each.

Pioneer SP-PK52FS 5.1 Package (It's called FS52 Pack in OZ):

Can't believe I got these for 50% off from Harvey Norman in Bundall, they have limited stock. They retail for $1400 but they're going for just $699 atm or $750 with 5yrs warranty.

Had set it up in my theatre room and the sound is incredible. They sound just as good as my other speakers which I paid $2,500 for… except with better bass.

Amazon - 451 reviews, avg rating: 4.5/5

CNET gave these speakers 4.5/5.
"If you've got the space for it, the Pioneer SP-PK52FS is simply the best-sounding, budget-price home theater speaker package you can buy."

  "the best-sounding 5.1 speaker system we’ve heard under $600"
  does this mean they suppose to sell under US$600? Amazon.com selling at $549.95 & FREE Shipping within US. http://www.amazon.com/Pioneer-SP-PK52FS-Theater-Speaker-Pack…
  Price for 5.1 AUD 615.63 + Shipping & handling: AUD 450.81 = Total before tax: AUD 1,066.44
  There're plenty complain about Australian pricing originated from Pioneer.com.au http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/archive/2070269 what a rip off here!
  So, looks like you've a "true bargain down under" :-)

  Looks like another case of the Australia tax. Pioneers sites showing $549 for the set. Not to say you did or didn't get a good price, but it does show what sort of markup we are being hit with.

  Been searching for these today too. Weird.

  I've been trying to find these for a while too, doubt i'll find a store in VIC with stock selling at this price though. Time to start calling HN's tomorrow!

  bosanceros on 10/08/2014 - 01:21

  Its not on the hn website, does this mean they don't stock it?

• 

  ws83jsb3948d on 10/08/2014 - 01:37

  The store @ Bundall had 10 in stock.

  Interestingly, most of these products are available seperately on the pioneer AUS website, Floorstanding speaker $225, Centre speaker, $200 but not the subwoofer or bookshelf…

    bosanceros on 10/08/2014 - 10:24

    Yeah much better value in getting the package though.

• 

  whatthecrappin on 10/08/2014 - 10:34

  anyone managed to confirm if this is available in vic?

• 

  naythd on 10/08/2014 - 15:51

  I had one on hold at Springvale. I travelled an hour to pick it up, only to find out someone else had purchased it. I'd be annoyed if I didn't manage to walk away with a MUCH better system for the same price. I guess I should say thanks instead!

    aibargain on 10/08/2014 - 19:57

    Which system did you end up collecting?

      It's not on the Harvey Norman website, but I managed to pick up the Pure Acoustics Supernova 8 Home Theatre System for $699. Sticker price was $1699 (although I did find it online for $900-$1000).

      I also managed to score a Denon AVR-X2000 Amp for $399. Sticker price was $696 and I couldn't find it cheaper than that anywhere.

      It took a fair amount of negotiating between two different stores and a ton of on the spot research (you've gotta love sites like ShopBot and Staticice!) but I'm pretty happy with the end result.

        Hmm, I'm quite new to OzBargain (and it looks like you are too), and I'm not sure what the best way to upload the receipt is.

        Just an imgur link would do it…

        Scan it. Upload to imgur.com or tinypic.com and then add the link found on the right of the page once uploaded here.

        Nice deal if it includes the receiver. I dont think the Pioneer one does have a receiver.

  Anyone know where to get good prices on individual speakers?
