Sony Bookshelf Speakers

These speakers give a large amount of sound for such a small speaker. I am very pleased with my purchase, and I would recommend them to anyone. I used them for my multimedia center upstairs in my bonus room. The speakers work great with DVD's, the Wii, and the radio. Overall excellent value here.

Very good value

These speakers have very nice sound. The bass is very good for their size. These sound much better than my Bose 201's and I paid about 1/4 th of the price. They are a little too large for bookshelf placement, but not so large as to be obtrusive.

Great bass,great treble, great overall sound for an affordable price

The first time I heard about these speakers, I knew that I wanted to get these to replace my old Sony 300s immediately. I also got a knew stereo with 7 speaker channels which means I'm getting another pair for basic surround sound and adding smaller speakers in the future.
Even with only one pair of these the amount of deep, heavy bass and clear and accurate treble these give is incredibly impressive. These are great not only for music but for video games and movies. I was playing The Legend Of Zelda Ocarina Of Time with the speakers on at a fairly loud level with the audio cables hooked up to my stereo and I noticed the sound makes the screen look bigger just because the awesome sound makes you feel like you're part of the game. I can't wait to listen to these on some of my favorite movies especially when I can get them in surround.
These sound great for music obviously. I strongly advise you to get a big roll of bronze speaker wire for the full affect. One of the first things I noticed when listening to music was that the bass is very noticable and powerful without being too overwhelming and the vocals and treble sound crystal clear. Overall, I have to say I strongly recommend these speakers and they're the best ones I've had.

Impressive for the space and the price

The first thing I thought when I unpacked these speakers was "these are not bookshelf speakers". The first thing I thought when I hooked them up and gave them a spin was also "these are not bookshelf speakers!" They are not terribly heavy and could easily be placed on a shelf or hung from the ceiling, but they really sound best on stands by themselves.

I also own a pair of SS-B1000 speakers, and those are also impressive for their size (which truly is bookshelf), but the difference in the clarity of the bass is just astonishing. Even at low volume levels, the bass has a presence and realism lacking in the 1000s, though it isn't any louder in the mix, and transients are palpable as much as they are audible.

The look is nothing out of the ordinary, but the performance and price certainly merit giving these your consideration. The size is small enough to be able to hide among the furniture if you are so inclined, though they really deserve a clear path from speaker to ear. My only (very minor) gripe would be the spaghetti-thin speaker wires included in the box, which are best replaced immediately.

Great speakers for the money

I bought these through Amazon's Warehouse Deals for $59 and change (plus free shipping and no sales tax). The pair I got were brand new and in perfect condition, and had apparently been returned to Amazon by a previous buyer because the box got beat up during shipping.

If I'd paid $100 for these speakers I'd still be happy. I got them to replace Advent mini indoor/outdoor speakers with a passive subwoofer for a bedroom stereo system. The Advents cost more nearly 10 years ago, but the Sonys sound so much better. The Advents sounded muddy; the Sonys are so clear I am amazed. I can hear subtleties in music from CDs that I never heard before. The highs are crystal clear, and when there is silence on a CD, there is silence from the speakers, no hum or air sound at all.

The bass from the 8 inch woofers is good, putting out a bass sound that has both oomph and clarity. I mostly listen to classical these days, though I love rock, and with classical I am not concerned about having insane bass (like those cars that sound like they are subwoofers on wheels), and for a bedroom system I do not need dance party volume.

As other reviewers have noted, these speakers are large for bookshelf speakers, though this is not a problem for me. And as other reviewers have noted, the speaker wire that comes with them is so thin it's useless. I don't know why Sony bothers including it.

I have the speakers connected to an Onkyo TX-8222 stereo receiver (50 watts per channel) with 16 gauge speaker wire, and I have the speakers about 6 feet apart. This set up is more than adequate for a 12 X 16 bedroom. (People who are mystified by speaker wire might look up the page at the Crutchfield site that explains the basics of gauge, etc.)

I am very happy with these speakers.
