    Great sounding speakers but a little concerned about all the pressed board especially the bottom plate that is there for stability but don't know how it will hold up

    I just replaced my Polk T50 with these and what a difference it has made. I played Hi-Res songs and these are very clear. I was torn between these and the ELAC Debut floor speakrs but these were half the cost and i thoiught it might be worth a try and it worked! These are very crip and clear. Very good High and Mid. The Bass is tight and you will need a subwoofer for a good bass. Go get them and you wont regret

    Great tower speakers for small to medium/large rooms. I am using a Sony center speaker as well, and it also sounds great. The rest is a bit mismatched: Klipsch subwoofer and Polk rear speakers. I wanted the Sony towers to go with my center speaker, but at $200 each was more than I could spend. They first went on sale for $159 and finally $100 each. After buying, realized they are worth the original price, but much sweeter on sale!

    Perfect for home theater & music with a subwoofer. Had my eye on a $1,200 pair of ML towers and then saw these on line for about $130ea. I have them hooked up to an Onkyo and let the receiver calibrate the new setup. All music typess sound great, especially orchestra and jazz. As ht speakers, great detail and range that the original Onkyo fronts didn't have. I recommend a subwoofer if you like heavy hitting bass.

    I recently bought these front speakers to replace some front speakers I have had (also Sony) for almost 15 years. The problem I had with my old speakers was that the combination of levels regarding Treble/Bass was that if you increase the level for the speaker, the Bass would go through the roof. With these new speakers, it is now the right combination, and they are more crisp regarding the sound quality.

    I bought the Sony Core Series speakers from the floorstanding towers to the center channel to the bookshelf speakers to the subwoofer to pair with the Sony STR-DN1080 AVR for a Dolby Atmos 5.1.2 setup and the sound is amazing! I upgraded from a Sony soundbar and what a difference! I am definitely impressed and glad I switched! Get the entire setup on special to make it even more worth it!

    It saves a lot of space contrary to the big fat speaker cases around our TV. Also, you cannot go wrong with the rich traditional Sony sound and quality in these speakers... We usually use them for KARAOKE entertainment in our living room...
