Hmm I wonder if it was coincidence in the Stereophile article that they mention the new KEF line of speakers and then show Andrew Jones' Pioneer bookshelf speakers. Anyway I'm a fan of the older KEF speakers and would give the Pioneer BS-41s a try since they are $200 + tax and shipping. Their look I'm not too keen on though, but hey if they sound really good then that should make up for it.
Now per the Stereophile article the BS-41 speakers are only available on line. I went to Pioneer's site and tried to find a store that carried the BS-41 and nothing came up. I was able to select the buy now button on their site.
I'm curious to hear how these sound to the B&W DM303 speakers I have. IMO these bookshelf speakers are great for either HT or 2-channel as well.
Thanks Aberyclark and Kal for passing along this info.
