Small speakers with a Big sound.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For the price point, these speakers have a great sound. Clean highs with a nice depth of bass. I'm pushing 100 watts per channel and they respond well. I was pleasantly surprised at how good these sound on low volume or cranked up. They look great and are a nice addition to my setup. The feet do not come with them. I put those on to reduce the vibration going to the turntable. If you are on the fence, don't be. You will not be disappointed.

Sony Speakers
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.OK speakers, for the price. Sound just average. Being a Sony product expected more. Connected to a Sony AV system
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from SonyListens
Posted .Hi RNair,
We're sorry the 3-way bookshelf speakers are performing just average for you. We'd love to help you.
To improve the sound, please check the following:
Check Polarity: Ensure the positive (+) and negative (–) speaker wires are matched correctly at both the speaker and the receiver. Incorrect polarity can weaken the bass.
Run Calibration: Re-run the automatic speaker setup (D.C.A.C.) on your AV receiver to optimize the equalization for your room.
If the sound quality is still underwhelming, please reach out to our support team for specific tuning advice: https://us.esupport.sony.com/support/s/support-contact?language=en_US
Thanks for choosing Sony.
Best regards,
Eliab
