    These speakers are great. Small enough to put anywhere sounds like full size speakers. Very happy with them. It’s hard to beat Sony

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Hubs resurrected his old turntable only to find he needed a new amp. Then decided new speakers would be good too. Great value and he uses them almost every day.

    These bookshelf speakers delivered loud sharp sounds with a nice deep base and smooth treble. They had a nice hookups for the speaker wire and the size of the speaker itself was just right to place in my entertainment room,

    Matched with the other Sony Core Series speakers, these work very well as rear surround speakers. The price (BF / post BF) was great too.
