    I bought these speakers to replace and augment a home stereo/theater system and they do provide adequate coverage for a small living room space (144 sq ft). Since they're designed to work with smaller surround speakers which can sit on top, I would've expected some type of latch or notching to better secure the speakers together, which it currently lacks, but overall these speakers work well.

    Definitely surprised at the quality of these speakers. Presently breaking them in, and the sounds seems to improve with time. A great addition to my secondary sound system. A bargain if you can catch them on sale. Love them.

    Great looking speakers I thought two came in the box I had to re-order the second speaker at a higher price… Which I was not pleased with, but I ended up getting an open box and got it cheaper

      Hi JohnS,
      Thank you for your time writing this review. We really appreciate you like your new Sony Floor standing speaker. However, we do apologized for the confusion. The SSCS3 comes with a single speaker when you purchase the unit. Sony values customers opinion as we always strive to provide the best experience possible. Thanks again for purchasing Sony! - Kris Sony_US

    I was able to get this speaker when it went on sale for $115.00. It is a really good speaker for my turntable set up. It is only one speaker so I just purchased a second one.

    Got these as an open box deal when my original choice (Polk tower speakers) were out of stock. Glad I did. Paired with a Yamaha RX-V483 receiver, Polk center speaker a bookshelf speakers, and a Sony sub. They have a clean, accurate sound and sound great with the other speakers, for movies and music. Highly recommend.

    These babies are solid… I am not someone who has compared many different speakers, but I have a pretty good ear and I have worked professionally in the recording business. We have a nice Sony receiver, self powered subwoofer and DirecTV. These speakers do the job nicely and it is a balanced and sweet sounding system.

    To be fair, this is my first pair of speakers bigger than bookshelf size. But I've been a long time fan of Sony, and these don't disappoint. Volume is more than sufficient, I haven't tested the upper limit but it meets my upper limit without distortion. Also using a Sony receiver to power them.

    Excellent value for a tower speaker. There’s plenty of low end and it pairs perfectly with my Sony STR-DH790. I couldn’t be happier with my decision and would recommend this to anyone who is looking for a system like this.

    How about really great sound quality at a decent price point? You've got just that with these Sony floor-standing speakers. I bought "4" (L, R, and the two surrounds)...........really pleased with the sound. And the price at Best Buy is tough to beat!

    These remind me of the old sony tower speakers (SSM-F500H if I'm not mistaken) that i purchased all the way back in 2001; these look and sound just as great if not better! Recently revamped my home theater in my basement and hooked these up to a Marantz NR1609 receiver and they sound great!
