Love these
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Outstanding sound angelic. Female vocals sound angelic. I have these set to -2 on treble and they present vivid treble tones without listening fatigues. You absolutely need a subwoofer with these speakers though

I would recommend this to a friendImpressive sound for this piece point
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Impressive sound. I thought there were great in midrange and top end. Bass is also good and specially if you free them with a based focused amplifier. For the price it is a great deal. Females vocals are a delight!

Sony core bookshelf
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are great speakers...wouldn't pay full price but they go on sale often...some people including myself have asked the question about using them as height speakers...one guy for Sony on here kept saying don't place these speakers in an incline position...but would not say why...so I called Sony myself and they told me it makes no difference if you point them down or not

Great speakers but large for rear surround
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’m happy with these speakers. I use them for the back surround sound so I don’t get much use from them, but they do have a powerful sound. I would prefer smaller rear speakers but that’s up to your own setup.
