    Nice Little 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....Read complete review

    The combination of the Logitech satellites and Sony bookshelf's sounds great.
    I am totally happy with my purchase.

    Good value

    Comments about Sony Black Bookshelf Pair Speakers:

    I am using the SS-B1000s as near field speakers in a desk top system with a nuforce DAC and Topping amp. The sound is punchy and vibrant with rock and smooth with classical and jazz. Why pay more?

    Amazing Speakers.

    By Uzair

    from Woodbridge, VA

    Comments about Sony Black Bookshelf Pair Speakers:

    Bought these speakers to use with Sony receiver DH-520 7.1, using as front left and right channel, cranked it up yesterday on 2 channel stereo setting, the sound of these speakers just blew me away, i even had my sub-woofer turned off, don't need that with these speakers. These are some powerful little things. Buy them, you can't go wrong with them. Great work Sony.

    Filled a need and more

    By lotech

    from Philadelphia, PA

    Comments about Sony Black Bookshelf Pair Speakers:

    Got these speakers for my wife on Mother's day. We had an old stereo system who's speakers had gone bad and were too large for their new location. Knew the basics of impedance and power input needed, looked in stores then found these on-line. Sony was a great help. The speakers arrived in 5 days, no shipping charge, and were easy to set up. They even had wires included in the great price, in most stores there were lesser products, wires extra and even then not in stock.

    Comments about Sony Black Bookshelf Pair Speakers:

    Keep in mind these are bookshelf speakers, but for small speakers they in my opinion every bit a good as my old Technics speakers (with 12" woofers) I bought in the 1980's. They have a very rich sound and they also brought the best out on my 78 rpm records. Again keep in mind, they are not going to rattle your windows. I bought these because of limited space in my home.

        I use these speakers as rear channel for surround sound-nice crisp sound when rear channel tracks kick in. Speakers are perfect size for such use-not too bulky.[...]

              These compliment my Sony SS F6000s. Small and capable of producing sound. The speaker has options compared to the smaller surround speakers. I use these as my rear surround speakers in my soon to be be complet 5.1 set up.
