    I have been very impressed by these speakers for the money. I have tried several different mid-range speakers and these are my favorites so far. I use them with a powered sub.

    It works very well for the price. I'm not an audiophile, but it had great sound and woked nicely out of the box with no problems.

    Bought these to go along with the Sony receiver (see my other review on receiver). Work great together, you just need to go out and buy the wires.

    Great value for our car repair shop lobby. Sound is crisp and punchy, but you need a sub, no way around it!

    I purchased a set of these as an addition to the 7.2 Sony receiver to upgrade my home theater system. The 7.1 output from Blu-Ray movies through this system is outstanding.

    Sony is the best for my music sound system. I had bought speakers from sony and it last more than 15 to 20 years and still working. I love sony and the sound quality is excellent.

    I bought these bookshelf speakers to go with my 200 watt per channel, 7.2 home theater receiver. I had my doubts about them being able to handle that much power..for the money they are great and they are a very nice addition to my system. They rock the house even in a 5.1 configuration.

    Beautiful sound at a really good price. Don't expect anything next level from these, they are great starter speakers for those getting into the work of surround sound via an A/V receiver.
