Opinions on Pioneer CS series speakers

I am looking for some SET friendly speakers for very short money . I have a chance at some Pioneer CS 88a's for @ $500 in decent shape and a pair of CS 77's (no 'a' suffix) for $250 .
Now I see that they are rated at 97db. efficiency but these things have a lot of speakers inside with 4 & 5 way crossover designs . Can these really be considered SET friendly ? I want to try 300B and maybe even 2A3 amps .

Thank You

If you want a pair because you think they are cool or you can get them on the cheap, by all means do so. If you want them because you think they are a great set of speakers...I think your money would be better spend elsewhere.

This is coming from a guy that has a pair of CS-99a's that I use on a daily basis (because they are cool, not because they sound amazing).
