If you examine the specs of the Pioneer speaker system you will notice they don’t appear to handle too much sustained power. The SP-FS52s are rated for 130 watts while the SP-BS22-LR (God, I hate these model numbers) are rated at 80 watts and the SP-C22 is rated at 90 watts. Doesn’t seem like much does it? Well, unfortunately there is no industry standard on how to rate loudspeaker power handling and we have many articles on this very topic. So I asked Mr. Jones about how he derived these numbers for the Pioneer speakers.
