    Well I purchased the Pinnacles to check them out. The build quality is ok. I would say they are worth every penny I paid for them $500,they retail somewhere between $900 and $1100. I would say in that range there are speakers better, but not by much. The binding post are 5 way medium duty, Ive used better, the cabinet
    is not that solid, but not too flimsy either.

    Sound:
    At first things were a bit grainy, and the base was thin. I figure since my equipment was off for
    quite some time, I wold give it some time to settle in. after leaving it playing for a few hours
    the base and treble improved quite obit. I have not really sat and listened that much as yet, and final placement has not yet been determined.
    So far the sound is encouraging, I'll have some fun with these for a little while.

    I will post some follow comments later.

      Greg, I'm posting a link to the Pinnacle site showing the BDC-1200s. Those are some VERY attractive speakers. I hope they sound as good as they look! :T

        David,

        They sound great!! The only short coming is in the base area.
        I played all the recordings that I usually audition speakers with
        and these speaker performed ex extremely well.
        Due to the size of the drivers, some piano notes, and instruments
        didn't have all the wight as speakers with larger drivers, but that
        is to be expected. Other than that the midrange, and treble were
        excellent! The imaging was excellent!. Speakers I've heard that
        are better tan these are in the 2K and up range. I still have to replace
        my amp I'm currently using an old Rotel RB-980, I think I'll get some
        improvement from that change. Overall great speakers.

          I have these speakers in one of my showrooms. They are attractive indeed. And to your point, they lack in bass. A good sub can help a lot but if you are using them as standalone, they are thin in this area. And you hit the nail on the head with mid and treble.
