They also do not get as loud and they usually cannot handle the high power that they claim they can. If you personally like the sound of the sony explods compared to some other brands and if they are in your price range i would say go for it. It is all a matter of personal opinion. It's just that usualy you can't go wrong w/ the more reputable and higher quality brands. |

Try to find an audio store in your area where you can listen to more brands of speakers. Bottom line is: buy what speakers sound nice to you. If you just buy what other people recommend, you'll be unhappy. Either you'll feel that you could have gotten better speakers for the money or you'll feel that you wasted money buying what someone said was high-end. There is no substitute for trying out as many speakers as you can. As for amps, Its a little harder to tell in the store if its going to be a good amp or not. To pick out an amp, read some professional reviews of amps in your price range and then go and audition the amps if possible. Best of luck in picking out your system. |

Gold Member Username: GlasswolfWisteria, Lane USA Post Number: 8397 Registered: Dec-03 | several things can make a product or company disreputible. poor quality construction poor reliability cheap materials poor design/performance poor customer support/product support mislading product specs (using peak/max wattage on amplifiers for example) shady business practices (see audiobahn for that one) these reasons and others can make a product undesireable. Some products, like certain subwoofers may be cheap, and may even get very loud, but they also may be very inefficient, and may sound like crap when they get to high output levels (see kicker solobarics and audiobahn anything) some amplifiers may not handle a low impedance well, or may have an abnormally high failure rate (see sony and kenwood) |
