Think about the price range.

Once Again, Think about the price range. To start off with I have a Pioneer Elite 29TX receiver with a Panasonic RP91K DVD Audio player. As you can tell in my similar products used: I have brought home, auditioned and returned a lot of speakers. The Bose I auditioned were a lifestyles system which I kept and set up in my bedroom because of the excellent deal I got on them. In the given price range I thought the Yamaha's imaged the best. The only real gripe I had with them was even after a month of break in, they still made my ears bleed with their piercing aluminium tweeters. So, I once again was on a quest for the most bang-for-your-buck speaker. I had auditioned practically everything Best Buy had to offer except the Sonys. I was skeptical about their home speakers because I absolutley dreaded their car speakers. (But that is another review.) So anyway, at this point I figured why not and purchased a pair and took them home. I got them home and hooked them up only to find that they were very detailed without being too harsh in the high end. The imaging was not as seperated as the Yamahas but still pleasing just the same. The definitly needed a sub hooked up with them, but only to complement not to seperate. With the range these speakers can handle I was able to dial them in with sub to be perfectly transparent with one another with the aid of my Avia disc. (Anyone who has a home theater should own this disc.) After about a month of break in, I noticed the highs to be more soothing and refined, and were less harsh than when they were fresh out of the box. The mids were very detailed and transparent. The subs, (in the cabinet) were clean and detailed without being overdriven or boomy. I grew fonder and fonder the more I listened to these speakers and decided to go purchase another pair for the surrounds and the matching center channel. The center channel was an immediate improvement over my old Bose center. The dialogue was crisp and detailed and did not need the help of a sub, for it could handle all frequency ranges with certin ease. Similar Products Used: Cerwin Vega, Yamaha, Bose, Infinity, JBL |

Strength:
Price, Looks, Sound In Every Way!
Weakness:
Hauling them up 2 flights of stairs! These speakers kick ass! I'm not usually a fan of Sony, but they have done quite well. I got them for a second system in my Jam Room and I am totally impressed. I was worried about the bass but WHOA! Position them the CORRECT way (see your catalog) and the lows are fantastic! My main system is all Yamaha for audio and Mitsubishi for video. My Yamaha setup has the whole nine yards (powered subs, center, digital surround) and these Sony's could hold up to them any day, even without a sub! I have listened to every thing from Gershwin to Miles. Rock, Rap, Classical, Jazz, everything sounds excellent. If you want some inexpensive, great sounding speakers, check these out! Put them up against $1000 Bose for yourself. Similar Products Used: Yamaha, Bose, Aiwa, Infinity, Celestion, Jenson, Pioneer, KLH |

Strength:
Very good quality for the price compaired to other brands.
Weakness:
None so far These speakers blow others out of the water when it come the value. I've looked at $500 JBL's that dont even compair to the sound quality that these put out. If your looking for a decent sounding setup for a good value... here they are! |

Strength:
Highs, Mids, soundstage and imaging, and they look pretty cool as well
Weakness:
deep bass and kinda power hungry Good mid price speaker, but I have to say in order to get a true sound experience you need to compliment them with a subwoofer, but even alone they are still outstanding. Even though they dont have the best sound, as said before, you would need to spend a lot more money for anything better. |
