Sony 8" 3-Way Floorstanding Speakers (Pair)

I have been an audiophile for more than 20 years. I have used and tested countless numbers of home audio gear product such as, speakers, amps, equalizers, sound processor and more.

I currently have a Yamaha RX-V661 Receiver running in Multi-channel mode. Front is powered by a Kenwood Basic M2A (220 Watts), Center, Presence, and Surround are powered by separate Kenwood M1A (105Watts) power amps. I have been shopping for speakers to replace the Sharp speakers that I was using for front. I am running Boston Acoustics for the Center, Presence, and Surround. I was looking at the Polk Audio S50, but every article that I read gave them poor reviews. So I kept looking until I ran across an ad in BestBuy Specials that listed these Sony speakers. I read all the reviews, and based on the reviews decided to give these a try. Okay to make this short and to the point. These speaker perform as stated in all the reviews. I cannot believe the clarity of these speakers. They blend good with the  more

The speakers were rec'd on the day I was told and in great condition. Hooked up same day and am very happy with them. They sound great and add to the listening pleasure. And, you cannot beat the price.

Great sound for a great price

Not much to say. The speakers are great. The sound is crisp, the bass is rumbling and the highs crystal clear. Listening to Hendrix' Axis: Bold as Love and it sound fantastic. You can't beat these speakers for the money. BnB Beatles Depot

Sony Floorstanding Speakers

These Sony floorstanding speakers are very affordable. You can get a pair of them for $159.99. Most speakers you have to buy individually and are priced at $159.99 each. These speakers are a great bargain and can get the job done for the price that you are paying. They have a good amount of power for the price. The sound quality of the speakers are descent. If you wanted a speaker that had better sound quality you would be paying a lot more for it. I feel that these Sony speakers are a real bargain and worth giving a try. You can even give them a test at your local BB store.

Bargain of the year!

I bought these to replace some beloved floor speakers that had grown a bit muddy over the last 16 years. My wife wanted smaller, but I convinced her that she would not be happy with an all-in-the-box system, since we listen to cd's with our system. These were about as big as she would allow and they had great reviews.

I was nervous about the smaller woofers and the very low price - how is it possible to get quality and power handling for $160? After setting them up, I was very impressed. They look right at home next to our 46" lcd and actually seem a bit more elegant then the last speakers we had. We put in a CARS dvd and cranked it up (a great CD at the beginning to check out power handling and surround). We were blown away - totally shocked. I did not think speakers at that price and with smaller woofers could sound that good.

Bravo to Sony.

If you are a normal listener, not a weird 'gotta get sick to think it sounds good' family, these speakers will be all  more
