Home > Consumer Reviews > Sony SSF-7000 Floor-Standing 4-way Speaker with 8" Woofer (Pair)

Purchased and Received these speakers just a couple days ago. The free shipping was great considering the weight of the speakers.

They are great! No complaints here. I was upgrading from my original aiwa speakers (made by sony) in my home entertainment system. The difference is amazing. Highs mids and lows are all great. I always recommend a powered sub woofer, I do have one. However, if you get these speakers you can get by without one.

My listening interests are varied. I have listened to Kiss, ELO, The Hollies, Peter Frampton, Supertramp and some classical on these speakers so far. I have also viewed a couple movies using them. All sounded great. "Do You, (Feel Like I Do) sounded GREAT! All the ELO was crisp, clean and clear. The only "booming," as mentioned in the other review, that I heard was while listening to "Long Cool Woman In A Black Dress" by the Hollies. However, it did appear to be a bass sound that was appropriate with the song, not anything abnormal. But then again, it may just be different taste.

Oh, and the picture shows the speaker as looking more of a grey than black. They are black, not the grey like the picture shows. that is good since my tv and all my entertaiment system units are all black.

My advice is you cannot go wrong with these. If anything changes I will update.

I bought these because a consumer magazine rated the performance of this model's predecessor a "best buy" in floor standing speakers. They even beat out some very expensive Polks for sonic accuracy. After getting them installed, they didn't disappoint. Excellent highs and more than adequate bass especially considering the price paid.

The first thing you will notice when you get these is the size (Height) these are defiantly "towers" in every regard. I have owned many speakers throughout the years, but not many had the full range clarity these do, they seem to 'come alive' on just about anything video games, Movies, Music, ect.. and they can get LOUD if you wire them correctly. I am no stereo guru but I know great sound when I here it, I scoped the more higher end stuff first, everything from Polk, Infinity, Kef, Omnisat, even Focal which was featured in stereo review this year. It is amazing to think these are SONY speakers, for one I'd never been a fan of their products but this does not sound like sony! add that to the many good reviews = Me buying them and Im glad i did! sure you can get 'better speakers' i.e. a little bit more 'boom' but for you buck you will not find anything even remotely as good as these. All in all it depends what your listening tastes are if your into Rock you will love these because of the crystal highs and a good 'punch' of Bass to fill your room or whatever. Movies on the other hand, is where these shine it's probably been said many times before but when viewing a movie you hear things that you may have never herd before the multi-faceted range is amazing it is a "Things are coming at you" (you are in the action) type of feeling, and if you have a Sub (I recommend the SW-12 Infinity) forget about going to the movies your at the movies! Just make sure you have the right hook-up Monster Cable is a must. The only thing I did not like about these is the cheesy puny wires it comes with you need THICK wires for good sound reproduction, other then that these are a steal for the money nobody and I mean nobody (to my knowledge) has put out something with this good of quality sound plus the price to top it off. It's like 'paying for a SONY product' the only difference is that your getting POLK AUDIO Sound!!! Absolutely Recommended. Just wanted to add you can use them as fronts or surrounds dose not matter they sound good either way. Don't be a fool and spend hundreds more Buy Them while you can!

I'm no expert, but I know what I hear. These speakers are clear and accurate. I can hear all the different musical instruments in the orchestra with so much clarity and accuracy now than I used to with my old BOSE speakers. Violins, flute, horns, harp, guitars, cello, xylophone, chimes, drums, clarinet... they all sound like they are supposed to, not colored and muddied up in one blend of painful, indistinguishable orchestral noise. Try playing your favourite band or orchestra CD and you'll know what I mean. For the price I paid, $216- delivered, these speakers are excellent value... I highly recommend them.

Sony speakers are almost always condemned by audio salesman. Don't believe them. I matched up these Sony 7000 towers with the Pioneer Elite Integrated Amp and the sound is simply spectacular. Voices sound like they are in your room. Close your eyes and you will swear the violin is only a few yards away. The clarity is simply amazing. I spent months scanning audio websites before choosing the Sony and I made the right decision. My excellent results are for stereo only. I have no idea how they may sound in a 5 channel setup. But if price is a factor and you need towers, this Sony is a spectacular bargain.
