Two of the five loudspeakers reviewed in our July issue were designed by Andrew Jones: the $29,800/pair <a href="http://www.stereophile.com/content/tad-evolution-one-loudspeaker">TAD Evolution One</a> and the $129.99/pair <a href="http://www.stereophile.com/content/pioneer-sp-bs22-lr-loudspeaker">Pioneer SP-BS22-LR</a> (footnote 1). I did the math. You can buy 229 pairs of the Pioneer for the price of a single pair of the TAD. Which is the better deal? Which would result in more happiness? Imagine keeping one pair of the Pioneers, and delivering the other 228 pairs to friends and family. Or donating them to schools. The possibilities are great. How much fun can you have with just a single pair of speakers, anyway?

It's true that the TAD bears the more mellifluous model name, but only the Pioneer comes with Jones's signature on the rear panel
