    These are little power houses and will handle anything my 250w per channel receiver throws at them. I liked the first set so much I bought a second set.

    Every time I go to the location in my area I usually get good service this is the best place to go for the best quality products, especially for stereos and TVs I think no other place comes close.

    I bought these to use in my bedroom with an older 2 channel Sony receiver. The tone and range are good and they pack plenty of punch for bookshelf speakers. I like 'em.

    These are really good! Especially for $124! And it's 3 way! You will need a subwoofer for more bass!

    Sound is nice at low to medium volume, but really distorted at loud volume. Certainly not that expensive but I expected better from Sony. If you don't need to rock the roof off the house, they're decent. They also need a sub to really hit the bottoms.

    Speaker seemed to be built well. Its kinda large for a book shelf speaker and also it outputted a high pitch sound for some music that I didn't hear on my old speakers. Maybe that was the "hi res" part, but it kind of hurt my ears. I ended up returning them. But they were well worth the price if I actually needed them.

      Hi Pete, Thank you for the 4-star rating! While we are glad to hear that you are happy with the speaker, we are sorry to hear that you had to return the unit due to a high pitch sound. We hope that you still consider Sony in your future purchase. -Carl Sony_US

    Big sound from compact speakers will satisfy even picky listeners. The sound clarity and range is impressive at most volume settings is remarkable. These speakers are definitely a must have.
