Comments about Sony Sony Black Bookshelf Pair Speakers:

I added these speakers to my Logitech Z-2300's
The Logitech satellites lacked mid-range, and were a little to bright sounding. These Sony speakers added a nice warm mid-range to my system.
The combination of the Logitech satellites and Sony bookshelf's sounds great.
I am totally happy with my purchase.

Bottom Line:

Comments about Sony Sony Black Bookshelf Pair Speakers:

Wanted a speaker system to play muzak (background) music. Needed a small size to fit on a bookshelf, and these fit that objective. I've got a 100w/channel amp, so these do match nicely in cranking out some louder music, but they aren't a 3' or 4' big floor speaker, but really, they do a nice job.

Comments about Sony Sony Black Bookshelf Pair Speakers:

My wife listens to online music and mp3s all day long. We've output her computer to a Sony Bookshelf system and upgraded the original speakers to the SSB1000. This is a great system for this type of application, as the speakers can easily handle anything the soundcard or the bookshelf system can throw at them.

Bottom Line:

Comments about Sony Sony Black Bookshelf Pair Speakers:

In general, I avoid Sony products but these speakers were highly rated by other reviewers and so many other speakers in the price range were not. After using them for a month now, I agree. This is a good, low-cost set of bookshelf speakers that are performing well in a small room.

Went looking for a nice pair of small speakers and read the comments from other customers. decided that these were what i needed. great sound, no distortion at all. keeping the volume down doesn't affect the quality of the sound either. exactly what a smaller room needs.
