    I bought this to replace my very old and dated floor speakers. The sound is nice and crisp, with good bass and it fills my room with enough sound. But it's not a replacement for any shelf system. It's a large, bulky portable speaker that is good enough for an outdoor TV or stereo set up. Worth it for $100-140. Not for over $200, let alone for its current msrp...

    Great sounding speaker! I used it for a roadtrip, as my car speakers broke, so I put it in the backseat. It has a good audio range, and the Sony Music Center app gives you a lot of customization for how it sounds and other features. You can even simultaneously connect it to other Sony speakers!
