These speakers provide excellent sound for the price. They were exactly as described in the ad and were delivered promptly.

These speakers WAY exceeded my expectations for a $100 pair of speakers. Not only are they beautifully black, but they sound UNBELIEVABLE! I bought these speakers because of the large amount of positive reviews, and I am here to post a positive review of my own! I plugged the speakers in and started playing Led Zeppelin 1 and was almost brought to tears. I have a Sherwood amplifier with my MP3 player connected and I can turn up the volume ALL THE WAY and there is no distortion whatsoever. Very pleased... If I had more room in my living room, I would get the B1000s and the B6000s. I may just have to get them and store them until I can figure out somewhere to put them...

I had just placed my order this past weekend (5/16/09). The email confirmation indicated the speakers would ship around 5/21/09. They already today 5/19/09. I had also ordered the TEAC AG-790A stereo receiver so I could once again listen to vinyl. I'm replacing a very old Radio Shack Realistic stereo receiver and Epicure 150 studio monitors. the salt in the air finally did in this old reliable equipment. Since the TEAC hasn't yet arrived, I connected the SS-B3000's to a SONY STR-K660P 5.1 receiver. Wow, was I impressed. They sound nice sitting right on the floor, no need to elevate them. Although, I've only spent a few hours listening, I must say they are well worth $99.00. Thanks Amazon for such a quick shipment.

It was time to replace our twenty-year-old Advent bookshelf speakers. Twenty years later, with a family, we're on more of a budget these days. These speakers are large bookshelf speakers, 9"x21", but with the basic black faux wood, they are more attractive than we expected. More importantly, they sound great, at least as good as the Advents did, even in their heyday.

Great speakers. I bought them for my apartment and I use them as floor standing speakers connected to a PORTABLE CLASS T DIG AMP which I've hooked up to my Apple TV. As the other reviewers say, these are way too big to be on any bookshelf, but they work well as floor standing speakers. The sound from them is great, and they get very loud.
