Good speaker for a very good price

Dec 26, 2004 - By Washington Heights (New York, NY)

Speakers have very good sound quality and good frequency response. I actually own a Bose Lifestyle 12 ystem bought in 97/98 with 5 satelite speakers and 1 subwoofer. These Sony speaker, at a fraction of the cost, sound better. In the beginning, I was a little reluctant to buy these Sony speakers, because the price was much lower than similar products by Bose. The only two problems are:
1. The supplied wires appear too cheap. I bought the speaker wires from Monster Cable to replace it.
2. The subwoofer has some "blank" noise after power up but you won't hear it unless you get close. And the noise "appear" to be off after you feed the speaker with music.

Very nice for a smaller living room.

Sep 27, 2005 - By Igor Obraztsov (New York, USA)

I got these speakers for $170 from B&H, to pair with Sony STR-DE898 receiver. The sound is great, they fill my 13x20 living with sound, and look very inconspicious mounted on the walls (I used silver NXG X-Mounts). The sub is large and heavy, and delivers great bass. I concur with other reviewers about tossing the included wires, those are a joke. I got some 16AWG 'digital' RCA speaker wire from Home Depot - with speakers this size you don't need larger wire, unless you are running it longer than 100ft. I also got a decent sub cable. Not Monster - those are monster ripoffs - but a $15 cable from acoustic research fit the bill nicely.

One gripe: power saver feature on the sub can be annoying. Having the sub shut off during quieter scenes means you'll miss the bass for first 1-2 seconds of action. Thankfully, it can be turned off via rear switch. Just power down the whole sub using the front-mounted button when you are not using the system.

Great sound for the price

Sep 26, 2005 - By Christopher A. Wheeler (Coralville, IA)

I bought these speakers when they were on sale for $180. I also bought the Sony STR-DE898 FM Stereo/FM-AM Receiver to go along with it. Let me tell you, for the price this sounds great. I know there are systems that sound better, but you're going to have to pay a whole lot more than this. Definately recommended!

These speakers ROCK!!

Nov 7, 2005 - By R. Evans

These speakers are well worth the money. Used the extra two speakers as a add on to the TV. Combined with the receiver they expand the surround experience.

Came shipped inside a larger box very well packaged by One Call. Fedex always takes care not to damage their packages. Unlike UPS or USPS.

Trash the wire provided and get some quality speaker wire. I agree with the other review posted, go to Home Depot. Monster cable is a waste of money.

Gripe: Already covered with the sub going into standby. Over all not significant enough to rate these lower.

Thank you Amazon and One Call!!

Everything about this purchase was great! The price was better than any we could find anywhere else, the packaging was secure and the timeliness of delivery couldn't be better!
