I would recommend this to a friendGreat bookshelf speakers. Sony doesn't disappoint
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Posted .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
Quality Sound
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These speakers have very good, clean sound. They were easy to connect to the receiver I purchased. I did return these speakers and exchange for the Polk Signature's. The reason being is that the Polk speakers integrate better into my surroundings and to me are more substantial in appearance.

Great speakers for the price
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These speakers are great. Small enough to put anywhere sounds like full size speakers. Very happy with them. It’s hard to beat Sony
I would recommend this to a friendHighly recommend if you are not an audiophile
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got these to replace my hand-me-down front and surround speakers (I bought two sets), and they go with the Sony core series center speaker I got a couple of years ago. I'm sure they are not the best front and surround speakers on the market, but they are absolutely excellent for the price (especially since I got them half off - 4 speakers for $150). Eventually, I'll use these as side surround and rear surround speakers when I upgrade from my current 5.2 system to a 7.2.4 system.

Great Sounding Speaker with pretty good bass
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've now had the speakers for about 2 weeks and can definitely hear the difference from my previous 2-way Sony Bookshelf speakers. Fidelity is much increased with the extra tweeter, clarity is great and Bass is pretty good for a bookshelf speaker. For a home theater you definitely need to have a sub in your system, these speakers are just not as capable when it comes to bass. But overall a great speaker and highly recommended.

Great speakers for the living room
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great speakers for the price! They look great and have great clarity.
I would recommend this to a friendExcellent Speakers
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is my first Home Theater setup and bought these speakers as part of it. Excellent sound quality and Bass. I liked it very much.
I would recommend this to a friendA bit large, but great sound for price
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are slightly larger than many competing products, and in true bookshelf fashion, offer no native mounting options. As a result of those things, placement was more challenging than I expected. Once placed, they have performed excellently, and current prices are a steal.
