    I've grown up with Sony and I love these Hi Res audio speakers... works very well with my Pioneer Elite receiver. They did sound a little high hooking them up straight out of the box but used the EQ to lower the tone down a bit.

    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

    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.

    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

    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.
