Cheap, Anti Social Speakers...
(5 out of 5) by thejoneseys on Oct 21, 2009 (Somewhere out there, in the vast nothingness of space)I've had these speakers for a few days now and I originally had mixed thoughts on them. Now that I've run them in a little, placed them in the corners of my room and sorted out my drastic equaliser setup these are actually a pretty decent speaker putting the low cost aside.
They are VERY powerful have no doubts there. I'm using them on a 10 year old Sony FE370 amplifier. My old speakers had trouble reproducing treble so my EQ was set high for the upper frequencies to compensate. The first thing I noticed when I wired these up is the extreme levels of treble they produce. They can be very screechy and you can make your ears uncomfortable if your EQ setup is wrong. Turn your tone controls and/or EQ down before you wire them up or risk a migraine later on!
Once I'd lowered my EQ to a neutral setting, I cranked up the volume I am pretty impressed with them. They are capable of some serious anti-social volumes!!! I haven't got my amp passed half way before I backed off. I daren't go any further. They are LOUD and can take a serious pasting from the looks of it.
These speakers are pretty easy to drive judging by the cool temperature of my amp (it was much warmer with my old wharfedales attached).
The manual quotes 89dB sensitivity and 8 ohms impedance so you can hook these up to pretty much anything.
For clarity these speakers are sold as a pair and arrive in one 30 kilo box (be prepared to give the courier a hand).

Sony floor speaters
(4 out of 5) by David Satchell on Nov 22, 2009 (Tamworth)Good product, sounds great, does'nt distort at higher volumes, wide range of sound-plenty of base if required, as good as the more expensive KEF speakers we had (not an expert in sound though). Cheapest floor standing speakers I could find on net with a good brand name. For general use I would recomend, may be too powerful for small rooms, check sizes- they're tall.
