Sensuous Surround

Nov 22, 2007 - By Jesse L. Bellinger (Santa Barbara)

I'm a little chagrined I waited so long to immerse myself in the world of 5.1 surround sound.

Most websites on the subject will tell you to get all of your speakers from the same brand, so the harmonics are all cousins of each other. Well, with Bose bookshelf speakers, the accompanying surround speakers would have been another grand, so I decided to bottom end with Sony.

These little puppies are weird in that you can't take the mesh covers off to spock the look of the speaker diaphragms, but that's the only weird thing. They ship with the tiniest capellini-sized speaker wire you can imagine, which helps you enjoy your new sound straight out of the box until you can get some more decent sized wire.

For a starter kit, these are thoroughly sufficient, plus, they're sleek and unobtrusive. If you haven't experienced surround sound anywhere but the theaters, get these babies and rent Apocalypse Now, or any of the Bourne movies. (Or better yet, watch the dust storm episode from the first season of Carnivale--you'll quite literally be blown away.)

Also, you'll need a digital optical cable from your DVD player to your receiver; otherwise the Dolby surround won't work.

Great Completer Set

Oct 17, 2007 - By Nicholas Clay (Sacramento, CA USA)

I paired these with a set of SSB-1000 Bookshelf speakers.
They are a great set to complete for 5.0 surround, i would suggest a separate sub because i low end on the bookshelf speakers or this set.
Center is clear and crisp, rears are mid-small and do the job just fine.

performs as advertised....

Dec 19, 2007 - By N. Stipa (Kansas City, Mo.)

These speakers nicely replaced my old surround sound system front 3 speakers, they work great, not high end, but for the price and combined with my 10inch Sony subwoofer, these sound great.

How do you like it?

Mar 3, 2008 - By W. Stoneman (Madison, WI)

Works well - I only needed the center speaker. I wish I could have purchased only the center speaker. What will I do with the left and right speakers? Good performance with the Sony receiver.
