I am building an theater room and would like some input from anyone that may have tried Pinnacle Speakers. I can get these at a great price from a friend so here it goes.


BD 2500's for mains

BD 700 for center

BD 750's for rears


I will probably look at a sub as well but those will put me back under $2000. I really like the Mahogany look to the speakers and have a set of the BD 1200's and like those but I am no audiophile. Any thoughts or other things to look into?


Thanks guys.

What a coincidence! I just started a thread seeking information about my latest acquisition of a pair of Pinnacles. Mine are an older model (PN 6+), have 6.5 inch woofers and 3/4 inch tweeters, and sound very good to me paired with my 8 inch JBL sub and my Harman Kardon AVR140. If the Pinnacles you are considering purchasing are anything like the quality of mine, I highly recommend them if you can get them at a good value.

I saw you post after I posted mine. The 1200's are great to me and the 2500's should be a step up. Hopefully someone will help us out a bit.

What are the respective woofer sizes of the speakers?

I really like full fllor speakers and one thing I REALLY like about Pinnacle is the 10 year transferable warranty.


Apples for apples and given the price I can get them for I am not sure of anything better. Thanks for keeping the topic up top.

The specs sound pretty good as far as what I know. Nice that they are 3-ways. Paired with a sub, I would imagine you would find them sufficient as front mains. I could easily imagine running my Pinnacles as front mains with my sub. I usually use my Camber Laser 7s (Canadian-made floorstanders manufactured circa 1992 that have 8 inch woofers and 0.75 inch tweeters.)

I took apart my PN8 and found that they have Vifa tweeters (forgot the model number) but I looked them up and they got good reviews. They do sound good. Can't remember about the woofers though.
