Home > Consumer Reviews > Sony SS-B3000 Bookshelf Speakers with 8" Woofer (Pair)

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.

I had previously owned Bose 601 and AMS series III for about 20 years long before Dolby 5.1 surround. I have just upgraded to a Sony STR DG-720 reciever with active HDMI and 7.1 Surround using a Sony Playstation 3 as a blueray player. As a test I watched Transporter 3 on blueray and realized that for the amount of money I paid for these speakers and the quality of sound, I'm glad I had gotten rid of the Bose system. I use the SS-B3000 for the Front A speakers, a pair of SS-B1000 bookshelf speakers for the side surround and another set for the rear surround as well. I also have an sony center speaker and a yamaha down firing subwoofer. This sytem sounds fantastic for just under $1,000.00 versus my 20 year old $5,000.00 sound system. Overall I am very impressed by the clear sound quality of the Sony SS-B3000 speakers. The main reason I was motivated to get a new stereo system was after listening to my father's infinity book shelf speakers. Unfortunately, his speakers are no longer in production so I went with Sony.

This speaker is great. Very clear and has great range. Almost don't need the separate subwoofer...perfect for my home theater setup.

I purchased these speakers for my small guest room which has an LCD tv. They deliver good sound, and don't take up much space. The price-to-performance ratio is very low, resulting in another great deal from Amazon.

These speakers are GREAT!
I have them hooked up to my Sony -STRDE935 receiver system and they out perform the Fishers and Kenwoods i had BY FAR!

I haven't had the chance to really push them yet.. but in all honesty...there is no need to!

The clarity is BEYOND explanation. The mids are pretty good too- and for an 8" woofer- the sound pressure is pretty decent.

I would definitely recommend them for a budgeted upgrade for IMPECCABLE sound taste .
