Pioneer CS-787 — Detailed Review

Overview

1. The Tweeter: It utilizes a cone tweeter rather than a dome. Cone tweeters were a staple of 70s Pioneer speakers. While they often lack the airy, shimmering detail of modern metal domes, they are notoriously smooth. They tend to roll off gently at the top end, preventing ear fatigue during long listening sessions.
2. The Midrange: A dedicated cone midrange driver handles the critical vocal frequencies. This is where the "warmth" of the speaker is generated. Pioneer tuned these drivers to push vocals forward, making the speaker excellent for jazz vocals, folk, and classic rock.
3. The Woofers: The cabinet houses two woofers (often a main woofer and a sub-woofer or passive radiator configuration depending on the specific revision, but generally active drivers in this series). These drivers are designed for "punch" rather than subterranean depth. They provide a satisfying thwack on drums but are less concerned with infrasonic bass rumble.
