    The speaker sounds good. To be fair, it is in the ear of the beholder, and not having another speaker to compare it with all I can say is that it produces nice room filling sound. The price point makes it an excellent value.

    I was skeptical about Sony speakers, after reading up on the model I found they had great reviews (along with the bookshelf speakers). I listened to every set hooked up at Best Buy and to my surprise they sounded great. I set up my 7.1 surround and I am blown away by the quality. Good job Sony

    These are my first audio towers, they work perfectly, excellent sound quality at low cost. They take up little space and fit very well with the furniture in my living room. I recommend them 100%.

    Bought as replacements for very old BIC Venturis. Sound is as good as you would expect in this price range. Narrow design is good fit for my smaller sized living room. Happy with this purchase.

    This is going to be the top pick for no-hassle floorstanding speakers to buy in this price range. I mainly use them to listen to music, and they produce a clear, well-balanced sound. If you are wanting to feel the bass, then you will have to add a subwoofer. These are front-ported speakers, so they will work in most room configurations. With bottom or rear-ported speakers, you have to worry about speaker placement in relation to walls and other objects.

    These speakers have a clean, pure sound. They blend really well with the Sony core sub. I am driving them with a Sony Amp. They are well built with a modern design. For the price I don't think you can beat them.

    They sound great. Perfect for surround fronts. I do recommend these!! Note: I luv bass, so a sub is a must anyway! I live in an apartment so I can't have the sub thumping & these are perfect for that. (with sub volume set very very low).

    I was not expecting to to like this tower speaker, especially after reading and watching negative so many negative reviews. But for the price, I purchased a set, a gave them a try. My opinion has completely changed! Initially, I had a pair of Sony SSCS5's but after break-in, and trying to get them "dialed in" for my living room, they were always lacking in the lower mid-range frequency. Well, these tower speakers did the trick! Music and movies are audibly clear, smooth sounding, and blend well with my subwoofer. A great purchase for the price and sound quality.

    I’m a big fan of Klipsch and Martin Logan. Also KEF and B&W are in my wish list. But after hear several times these little towers on my local Best Buy, I had no choice. Are there better speakers ? Yes, there are. I got four towers for $100 each on Black Friday. For $100, you won’t find any other tower speaker in the world with the sound of these one’s. Does Klipsch sounds better ? Maybe but for four times more money and you won’t get four times better sound. For movies, you don’t need more than these speakers. They sound amazing. For music I added two subs from the same series with the front towers. They sound good, not awesome but enough for enjoy my musics. For the price range, these towers are the best speakers in the world.

    I bought two of these bad boys and had a great couple months with them, then my baby started crawling and these things became a hazard. They’ve sat in the basement for about six months. They long to be used one day again. I check in on them from time to time. They’re doing okay. Thanks for asking. If you’re still reading…yes, buy them.
