    I had great reviews of these speakers all over the internet and was glad to find my local store had a pair in stock (they carry so little stock these days). I scooped them up and was very pleased with the sound

    Since I purchased my Sony speakers I have not had a chance to hook them up yet. I am remodeling my basement. But I am giving them 4 stars because I did listen to them at Best Buy before I purchased them. Also the gentleman that waited on me was so helpful. Thanks to him I know exactly how to set them up for the best quality sound. So as I remodel I can run all my speaker wires exactly where they should be. I am getting anxious to see how they will sound. Very happy with Best Buy so far.

    The Speakers are almost the perfect size, and the sound output is in a fairly large room with a very high ceiling. My only criticism is that I had to purchase wires separately.

    I currently have a Sony Distribution Receiver. I needed bookshelf size Front Side Speakers. After discussing the different qualities of several speakers and examining the store display models, I opted to go with the Sony which has the proper ranges and works well with my current receiver.

    I am using these as rear channels in a 5.1 setup and they really do sound good. I have Klipsch r-15m in the front and they match the timbre decently well. They have the three driver system which makes them interesting and gives them a pronounced high sound which I enjoy

    These speakers are perfect for what I wanted. They put out awesome sound and even pick up distinct sound from the movies I watch. (background sound, etc). I was pleasantly surprised by the sound since I did not spend too much money on them. Great speakers.
