    Good clean sound. Decent bass. I've cranked these up until it was uncomfortably loud and the sound was still clean, no distortion.

    Priorities Clean/Crisp over Punch/Groove

    These Towers are good for their price "if"you get them on sale. At the 199 price mark you'll be happier saving a few more coins for a Polk Signature Series or similar mid tier speakers. The issue with these speakers is they do not punch hard at all. Low mids and Bass are just too polite for most rock music. The treble range on the other hand is very clear and gives the Sony towers a nice crisp clean sound with compressed low end. Speakers are good for Movies and Jazz or more polite music. They do add clarity to the mix so if you have a decent sub they can clean up a rock/pop mix if you have supporting speakers. I would not recommend these speakers with out a subwoofer in any situation. SOUND is GOOD they just don't Kick.

    I upgraded from a 10 year old Yamaha 5.1 speaker setup. I heard music I haven't heard in years - since my 40 year old New Advent loudspeakers.Paired with the Sony center channel speaker, I don't have to bump the volume to hear the dialog in movies. Overall a very satisfying set of speakers.

    Quite happy with the speakers. Should be sold in pairs, though. I bought a single one thinking they were a pair. Still not disappointed--huge improvement! A lot of high-quality sound for the $$. Sony is usually on top of things.

    I got these around Thanksgiving at 50% off. I have the receiver, center channel and subwoofer. It’s an easy to set up system. Sony is smart when designing ease of use, labels, etc. I always read the instructions. It took longer to run the speaker wire.

    Our medium size rectangle/almost square size room is perfect for these speakers. We can have them on low volume with the Sony core center speaker and still be thrilled with the sound while our 11 month old sleeps in the other room. Would buy again!

    Really great speakers. It's a pleasure to have three-way speakers putting out the best sound ever for the price. They are solid. I am thinking of buying another set for my 72" screen for movies & TV. They are just what the Doctor ordered.

    They aren’t as big as they look in the picture but that’s no problem. They do a great job. Hooked these up to my Yamaha and couldn’t be happier. Much better than any bookshelf speaker. Happy about my purchase and the deal I got.

    These things sound great. I upgraded my HTIB to the Sony Core Series. They have great bass on their own, but with the sub, they sound awesome. Some people have stated they are pretty small, but I went from small speakers to these, so to me, they seem big. Overall very pleased.

    Returned it, it wasn't what I was looking for as I needed two speakers. My own fault for not understanding the illustration. It's probably a fine speaker. I didn't even open the box.

    Sony isn’t usually a name you associate either speakers. These towers are great, solid design, clear booming sound (could use more bass but that’s where your sub comes in), and are decent weight to quality ratio. Great products.

    I have purchased 3 sets of these to go with my 7.2 receiver. They sound great and have the punch to give my theater room all the sound we need. Combined with 2 subs and it is better then going to see a movie anywhere.
