    I purchased these speakers for my basement "Mancave". Hung them on the wall and they cover the whole basement with quality sound. Minor disadvantage there is no hanger on the back to hang them on the wall. But they are advertised as bookshelf speakers. Otherwise this is a very good value.

Thanks so much for your purchase! ~Earl Sony_US

    I bought these to go with a Sony Audio Receiver I bought at the same time at BB. I got these on sale at the time and a few weeks later (currently) they are on a steeper sale which BB honored and refunded me the difference for them! These are more than adequate for the size room that I have them in and work great for my CD Collection and using them with my TV!

    These speakers were paired with a Sony STR-DH190 receiver for listening to albums and radio broadcasts. Excellent configuration for the price point. The receiver would probably not be the first choice for a home theater system.

    Might be a little bigger than you need for a computer book-end speaker, but the sound is great. High end is clear and the woofers get down to a low end that rivals some sub-woofers.

    I am only running these as surround speakers but they sound really good Everytime sound plays through them. I have them paired with the Sony tower speakers (sscs3) and a Sony receiver (str-dh790). I actually returned some klipsh bookshelf speakers for these and am still happy with that decision. The klipsh sounded to bright to me and this sounds right to my ears.

    I was looking for a receiver and speakers that I could plug my iPod into where the sounds would be as great as my iPod. I was greatly pleased that the speakers produced the same quality of sound as my iPod! I only had one problem, I did not know that when you purchased speakers these days you also have to purchase speaker wires separately!
