    I was looking for bookshelf speakers for my current Sony receiver that would work w another pair in my kitchen. I bought these on Black Friday weekend and paid about half of retail, so the value was unbeatable. As to the sound, these pump out really well for being only 12" tall and take up little space.

    These speakers are great. They are driven by a Yamaha RX-V581 receiver. They don't disappoint. No complaints.

    Got them for their higher frequency response, and the speakers have clear sounds for their size; but I wish that I'd got a better price.

    I purchased these for my home Video/Audio system, but didn't realize these were 6 Ohm speakers. My receiver is about 10 years old and only 8 Ohm, so had to bring them back to BestBuy. I bought them because of the SONY name and reputation, I'm sure they are great speakers.

    I initially thought I could use these without a subwoofer for a decent stereo setup. I was wrong. These speakers are power hungry and they absolutely have to be used with a subwoofer. If you are looking for good quality stereo setup, go with Sony floorstanding speakers. They offer much better base and sound quality. I would only use these Sony bookshelves as rear surround sound speakers. I returned these and got JBL floorstanding speakers, night and day difference, but I also paid three times more money.

    Going back to component stereo system, needed small speakers. They are a perfect fit for small places and sound pretty good.
