    I researched bookshelf speakers in depth before purchasing these ... and as usual, the SONY brand does NOT let you down. They were rated highly in all reviews I saw and now I know why. I did have to get used to the lesser amount of bass compared to my floor speakers, but I just turned up the base on my receiver and they sound excellent.

    After doing extensive research and watching many review videos, I chose to buy these speakers. They are the best bang for you buck hands down. I got them to finish off my 5.1 surround system. They do not disappoint. I bought they while they were on sale as well. Seems like they go on sale quiet often.

      Hi Glenn, we are glad that you like the SSCS5 Bookshelf Speakers. These speakers are built on sound foundations. A strong, ported enclosure allows for rich, resonant acoustics. The bass reflex duct, positioned at the rear of the speaker, suppresses unwanted noise and improves low-frequency sound reproduction. Thanks for choosing Sony! Erin Sony_US

    I got these speakers for my 7.2 Sony sound systems so I can feel like I’m at the moves when I do watch movies and for gaming I just get scared when I play any type of COD games because it sound way too real
