    Good sound, using them for the main speakers in a 2.1 system. So much better then the speaker in the TV. Still breaking them in but they are getting better every week.

    Love these speakers...I had a set of Polk T15's for my surround speakers but they are only 2 way...the Sony's are 3 way and add that midrange that the Polk's are missing

    I wasn't sure about Sony speakers at first. I got mine on anopen box for $130. Sounded better than the klipsch (the klipsch were more expenseive too). A very warm natural sound. These are great entry level audiophile sound.

    Great little speakers. My old Astec floor speakers have better bass response, but in our new digs, they'd be overkill. These are great behind the TV at each side, pointed out toward the room.

    Speaker connections were a breeze and I use them as rear surround speakers. Frequency response is pretty good considering size of woofer. Midrange and highs are equally good

    Was initially concerned being they’re so small, but these speakers compete with speakers that are in the $300 range. Great sound, can get very loud. Worth every penny.
