I've dailied these for years
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a tough review to write because I don't have any issues with these. Especially because I researched and bought the ones I wanted. These are exactly those, and I love them still today (2+ years later).

So far so good..
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Speakers fit where I needed them to fit (off the floor, unlike my previous Bose bookshelf speakers that were a lot wider..) The nuances between bass, treble & midrange could be better defined; not sure how far you could crank up the volume w/out totally losing balance & overall sound quality. That being said, if like me you are looking for something that works well within the confines of a smaller space, and you're not trying to rock the block-these are really good speakers! Subwoofer was suggested by sales person; would add if I had more space to work with..

Great for the money, even off sale.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are well-reviewed online—and there's a good reason for that. They are smooth, clear and play loud if you're looking for that. They respond very well to my 65-watt per channel amplifier. No breakup—yet. Got them as an open-box for $108/pr.

Good speakers, weak housing
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These speakers sound great and look classy. If you're planning to put them on speaker stands you should know they cone with grip pads you can apply to help them stay in place. However, the speaker housing is not drop resistant at all. Took heavy cosmetic damage from a 3 foot fall so just something to be aware of if placed in an area with traffic

amazing speakers
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.amazing speakers. Comapred to my old polk t15's these are much better, those sound like a tin can compared to these! I use them as pc speakers with a cheap reciever and a soundblaster external sound card(that was about $100) and I get amazing sound from these.

Very pleased with my purchase
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.With all the studio equipment I purchased, I needed some speakers, because my current speakers are too loud.

Good sounding speakers
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Thesr speakers sound really good with our sony receiver and audio tech turntable. They are loud enough in our living and have enough bass to not worry about subwoofer. It you like lound bass i would suggest getting a sub. The only negative i have is they are taller then the specs online they are 13.5 inches tall.

Budget entry option for home audio
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Quantity for quality. If you are looking for an entry system this will suit the needs, but if you are someone who gets a taste of something and desires more you will try to expand on your audio entertain. Great entry level to eventually expand on to surround sound.

Best Budget Speakers?
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Absolutely. I'm not sure you'll be able to get much better than this without paying 3x the price. Sony really outdid themselves with these. Get 2 pairs and the matching center and you have yourself a nice budget 5.1 home theater setup. Highly recommended.

Great Value
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.A very open balanced and articulate speaker. limited low bass but blends very well with a subwoofer, I use a Polk Audio Signature series 10 inch sub. Sort of basic looking satin black finish on the the cabinet but overall excellent sound quality at low price/
