    These speakers are a great pair for in a sun room. Bought these to upgrade my mother in laws 20 year old surround sound. She went from having 4 speakers, one center speaker and a subwoofer to just 2 speakers and a Center Speaker. Sounds a million times better and she can upgrade to a subwoofer to enhance those movies and Football games.

    i purchases these speakers to pair with a receiver i ordered and the sound quality is amazing. I'm sure there are better speakers out there but for my small/medium sized living room these do a great job filling the room with sound

    Great speakers for the price! Excellent soundstage that really fills a small to medium sized room. Surprisingly good bass response. For a smaller room like a bedroom, you could use these as your front left and front right on a 3.0 setup and probably not need a subwoofer. The super tweeter does bring out lots of detail in the audio. A slight downside is I found the high end to be a bit shrill especially at louder levels, but nothing deal-breaking. Though not quite as loud as the Klipsch R-51-M's, these otherwise sound close enough that you likely wouldn't be able to tell the difference unless you did a side by side comparison like I did. With the grills off, the Klipsch's certainly look cooler, though.

    This is a very good pair of speakers. The frequency response is what I want - plenty of treble and just enough bass. Just the right size. Just the right Sony.

    Perfect for small spaces, dorm rooms, and other places where space is a premium. These are at a low cost, but well worth it price. Plan to buy more.
