    Grest speakers for midrange sounds if you're putting together a surround sound system.

    I use them as front speaker combined with a Sony subwoofer, and get clear and high quality sound.

    My A/V unit did not come with speakers and I made the mistake of connecting only a Bose sound bar using the optical cable. The result was a blown internal fuse in the A/V unit that was repaired under warranty for free.

    After looking at the prices on a television sound bar, I chose to purchase the SONY STR-DH590 receiver and these shelf speakers. With the receiver there are a lot more connection options which I enjoy.

    Sometimes you need to skip the big names like Sony and go for exceptional quality. This isn't one of those times. These speakers are great for a beginner setup, especially if don't want to spend the money on a klipsch system. Sony is right under the big speaker names, and these speakers are great. Listen to them right next to each other in the store, the quality is amazing.
