Hello WOOT community. I am Arin with Pinnacle Speakers, TEAM LEADER consumer division. Pinnacle is a family owned and operated USA based company, established in 1976. That’s 38 years and nearly 4 decades. We are the oldest independently owned and operated USA based speaker company with the longest running management team in the industry. We are famous in the Speaker and consumer electronics industry and known specifically for superior performance, innovative engineering and old fashioned, personal service. STEREOPHILE MAGAZINE’S PETER MITCHELLE said our product was “SHOCKINGLY GOOD FOR THE MONEY”. That was a $700 pair of superb full size bookshelf speakers. Stereo Vision (formerly Stereo Review Magazine) said, “Pinnacle’s model sounds almost as good as our reference Speakers costing twenty times as much”. They were comparing a tiny shelf speaker @ $149 to their studio reference Speakers of $3,000. We do it time and again!! We make amazing products and have sold millions of speakers. We have products ranging from “BUDGET AUDIOPHILE” to TRUE AUDIOPHILE up to $8,000. We offer these exclusive and honestly ridiculous “no brainer” deals to WOOT as an exclusive buy it now, snooze or lose opportunity.
I will be here monitoring the forum to assist in answering any and all questions regarding our products. I have been with Pinnacle for 10 years and I will proudly tell you,we make terrific products. I am quite knowledgeable about our products and speakers in general, but if something is technically beyond me, I have access to one of our audio engineers for the highly technical questions. There is no such thing as a “DUMB” question. These are complicated decisions. So, if you have a question, please ask. Chances are your question will also help many other Woot forum people.
I am a specialist in Pinnacle, although I cannot speak for other company products, I can try to assist in building a system with our products and some existing items you may already own.
Thanks for your participation in this forum

I just purchased the Onkyo TX-NR626 off woot last week and am looking upgrade my speakers.
Would it be worth spending the money for the BD2500’s with this receiver? Or would the BD2500’s be underutilized with the Onkyo TX-NR626? Thanks.
Hi, thanks for your question about our Flagship BD2500.
The bottom line answer to you question is the speakers would absolutely not be underutilized.
The Onkyo receiver you own is from their highest end series of A/V receivers. Onkyo is highly respected in the industry and we have always known their products to be quite excellent.
http://www.onkyousa.com/Products/model.php?m=TX-NR626&class=Receiver&source=prodClass
The Onkyo unit has both sufficient rated power and just as importantly, low distortion levels at 0.007 (0.7%), which means to us that the Onkyo piece is extremely conservatively rated regarding its power output. Additionally, the BD 2500, being a Flagship for Pinnacle, is engineered so it will be compatible for a broad cross-section of products from mainstream to esoteric. That is, we know that many people will want to use our item with high quality, yet affordable electronics.
Therefore, the Onkyo unit in our view would allow the BD 2500s to meet their potential. No doubt you will be astounded with our product.
Hi Arin,
I actually purchased a set of Pinnacle speakers from woot a little while ago…
My sub just stopped working one day. I have replaced the cord, tweaked the settings in the receiver, to no avail. It’s really frustrating, because I’ve literally never touched the sub since initially setting it up. I was wondering who I should turn to for help. Thanks! I do love the speakers and I would really like to get this problem fixed.
Arin - I really REALLY REALLY need the 12" x 2 Supersonic 800w woofer that you had listed on previous Woot offerings … any chance?
Hi Arin,
I had purchased the 350 center channel off woot a while back, my question for you is this. Are the S-Fit Mon 450 shelf speakers a “match” for the 350? Will they sound correct with the 350 center channel or do i need to look to another pair of front speakers to match?
Thanks
I want the 2500’s so bad.
Hello. I am sorry for the trouble and problem. Please e-mail me @info@pinnaclespeakers.com and on Monday I will get to this. Please include your email,
It may just be a fuse on your receiver or sub. We will investigate on Monday.
Arin
Now is your chance!!!
Hi. S FIT MON 450 are a perfect match to SFITCTR350. Feel free to use SFITMON450 in front or rear channel. Their bass is terrific due to our patented port technology. SO, YES!!
ARIN
YES! I will be pleased to add you to our wait list. Please email me @ info@pinnaclespeakers.com and includeyour email and the SUPERSONIC sub is what you want. IT will be back soon.

When should we expect the big boy Rhinos to make an appearance. You said a few months ago that they would be here in the fall. Well, that time is now…
I have 2 of your baby boomers hooked to my TV with your PWRBAR, but I will happily put them in my garage on my old Marantz and add a Rhino to the TV.
Prefer the 15, but wouldn’t kick the 12 out of bed for eating cookies.
Any reason they don’t use 2 real drivers other than cost?
Hi, thanks for the comments. Rhino series is being re-worked and will not be out this year. I would be please to put you on our wait list for SUPERSONIC which is a dual active 12" subwoofer which will be here for WOOT soon.
If interested, please e-mail me at info@pinnaclespeakers.com with your contact info and I will give you a heads up.
Thanks,
ARIN
I haven’t seen the BD500 for a while. Will there be any more BD750 soon.
I desire another dual babyboomer…will they show up again?
Hi,
We are happy to put you on our wait list for both items. Please e-mail me at info@pinaclespeakers.com and provide your contact information.
Both BD 500 and BD 750 will be back with some of each likely in October. All our black Diamond series products have an elaborate multi-step lacquering process. Each BD series cabinet takes 1 week to produce. So we cannot mass produce these. We will be pleased to add you to our wait lists.
Hello,
Yes we expect so likely next month.
We are happy to add you to our wait list. Please email me at info@pinnaclespeakers.com and include your contact info. I will send you a heads up when BABY BOOMER is back.
Thanks,
ARIN
Does the 8210 sound bar come with a remote control
PBar 6200 is total trash. The customer service with this company is even worse!!
AVOID THIS COMPANY AT ALL COSTS!!
