I agree with the review that said these speakers provide very accurate sound. I hooked them to an amp that is getting a signal from my computer database of FLAC music files. The connection also uses the grounding cable from DAK to eliminate potential grounding hum. The sound is amazing. I think to get better sound one would have to spend $500+ for speakers. And, then I'm not sure that for 95% of the type of listening one does, that the difference would be appreciated. All in all, these speakers are the best sound I've found for the money.

Well, I've only had them for a few hours now, but after reading the reviews and deciding on an inexpensive pair of small floor speakers (large bookshelf speakers?) to replace my ailing vintage Acoustic Research, I read the overwhelmingly positive reviews and decided to give the Sonys a try. I have to say, I am more than impressed. I am not an audiophile per se, but I have extremely diverse musical tastes (already tried Shostakovich, Clifford Brown and AC/DC on them) and I don't have a mean thing to say. With a moderate amount of equalizer tweaking, they sound clear, balanced and powerful. What a bargain!

First let me say that I am not a fan of Sony. Their products have been hit or miss with me (mostly miss). However, these speakers have been a real treat. They provide a nice full range sound, with crisp highs and deep lows. They handle a decent amount of power so you can push them pretty hard. I bought a Sony STR-DG720 to push them and the combo is great for my home theater. Are they the most awesome speakers ever made? No. Are they the best home theater speakers you can buy for under $100 a pair? Probably.

Bought as part of a system of matched speakers and Amp.They do take alot of power to drive I will say that.Good sound needs a sub for the lows, I think Im used to the Sub Lows by now anyway.This is a Balanced speaker No speaker over rides the other, Havent fully pushed them yet, But I will see what they can take.The written specs they have from Sony are true specs!

I bought the SS-B3000 speakers to go with a Harman/Kardon HK-3490 receiver.As stated in other reviews these are not bookshelf speakers.The bass that comes out of these little speakers are deep with the highs being crisp and clear.The picture shows white speaker cones mine were gray.For the price you can't beat them they preform rather well.If your looking for affordable speakers that sound great you need not look any further.
