Nice Upgrade
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Nice upgrade from previous Sony speakers. Much clearer sound and more bass.

I would recommend this to a friendGreat sound from a compact speaker
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The speakers give great sound at a reasonable price. Their compact size make them ideal for a small room. Not the best quality bass but quite acceptable.

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These Sony speakers on sale and thought I'd give them a try. Wow these are just what I was looking for - sound is really clear and balanced, with really nice full bodied tone. I use them with a Sony receiver and I really couldn't be more pleased with them both.

Great sound for a small speaker
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We love the sound these speakers provide with taking up minimal space.
I would recommend this to a friendGreat 3 way speakers
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are a good sounding speakers at a great price. The added super tweeter adds great ultra highs needed compared to 2 way speakers. Only downside to these is the air baffle is in back side of speakers. If you wall mount you will want then a couple inches off the wall or will rattle. A front air port is much better IMO. Otherwise, a great speaker at great price.
I would recommend this to a friendIncredible sound for the price
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Obviously we're not talking about top-of-the-line, bank-breaking, audiophile-nerd-dream stuff here...But these sound GREAT when paired with a subwoofer. Smooth and rich with a nice, wide soundstage. Blown away by the sound coming from speakers at this price point.

Work wonderfully
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sadly after my Energy C3 L/R speakers decided that their woofers wre no longer functioning I had to find a replacement. When looking for lower priced speakers often the speakers are sacrificing something, usually either something in the highs or somewhere in the mids. These do seem to make some sacrifice on the lower end but retain a wonderful note through the high, mid, and upper low range. I will say to meet the full range these do need a subwoofer to accompany them, but if you have both these and a subwoofer you will be very pleased.
I would recommend this to a friendA great part of my surround sound system
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.A great part of my surround sound setup! These speakers are pretty small but sound great as part of my 5.1 sound system. I bought these and the Sony SUB and center speaker as part of the Black Friday deal for me and they sound great and at a super price!

Worth the Small Investment
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Nice even bass that is not forthcoming to the point that it overtakes the music. Treble is nice. They are great for a small apartment and can easily transition to a bigger space.

2 for center channel
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I use these as my center channel, and let me tell you, OMG!!! Crystal Clear, volume 3 on speaker sound adjustment, volume 5-6 on the receiver. At 5 feet away from my TV, I can hear the faintest whispers.

Bookshelf speakers
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.They sounds really good but just make sure you have the right system to get the max out of the speakers. And every month you have to trim the wires because the excessive sound will burn the wires and the sound will get distorted and this also keeps the amplifier from locking up on you!

Astonishing speaker and value.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Astonishing, simply mind blowing. I have purchased 20 some odd speakers in the last 3 years including 8k Cornwall's and dozens in between and this speaker has made me rethink what I'm doing. The value is unprecedented. Beats speakers 15x the cost..

Pretty good bookshelf speakers
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are decent sounding bookshelf speakers, for the price. I bought them for my grandson to use with a ‘hand me down’ Sony receiver, and he liked them too. Not as transparent sounding as a pair of Klipsch speakers I have, but these were pretty good and on sale, so…

Love these speakers.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have been using these as rear speakers along with the Sony towers and their center speaker. I used these as my front speakers originally and preferred the sound over some more expensive Elac and Klipsch I had. You can’t beat the price on the Sony speakers , especially when they are on sale. Highly recommend.
