| For as cheap as these were I was not nearly expecting the sound quality I got with these. For an audiophile on a budget these have a lot of bang (and thump) for the buck. I would recommend these to anyone for any part of their system. |

| These were replacements for floor monoliths that finally needed to go. The sound fills the room, not the speakers themselves. |

My previous speakers were altec lansing 2.1 computer speakers, so I cant *really* compare, but my goal was to find open-air speakers which could match my nice sennheiser headphones, which these guys mostly (see bass) do.
Overall: The sound is very clear, and all the sounds that should be there are there--nothing is muddy, and there is good frequency response for the whole range. I'm using an onkyo home theater system with a digital source, but even without control over the source volume the speakers can be heard, and heard *clearly*, through the whole house. Its remarkable how balanced the different frequencies are.
Treble: Im not a fan of treble usually, but these speakers do a good job of making all the sounds quite sharp--something which is lacking in both my multimedia speakers and my headphones. I personally took 2 db off the top, but the treble wasnt so irritating that I had to turn the knob all the way down, as with other speakers.
Mid/voice: Voices are extremely clear, and seem to come right to the front, just as they should. The singing definitely isnt covered up by overdone drums or guitars.
Bass: The notes that it can play, which is most of them, come out extremely clear and can be heard in every room. When I punch the volume up, the bass shakes the walls--and it does so without any distortion. The problem is that (my guess) in an effort to limit distortion and prevent damage, they blocked off frequencies below ~35 hz. I made a few sine waves to test frequency response...50 and 60 were great, 40 was good although volume started to drop off, and 30 was almost inaudible. I have found a few songs where this causes an issue, but only by comparing back and forth with my headphones (which can do 30 but not 20). Still, 3 or 4 songs isnt really a big deal, and a subwoofer isn't hard to find if it is a big deal.
all in all, great speakers and definitely worth the cost. |

| I am fine with the speakers but I did not read the description well enough. They are titled "bookcase speakers" So I imagined them to be smaller and not 22inches tall. My responsiblity. They are OK. |

| i bought a pair of these last yr after christmas to go with 2 more klh 8in towers just like this. they never really got used because i had one big stereo in my room that i used and that one with the 4 8s in the living room for movies and such. well i sold the rest of it and now i have the sonys hooked up up stairs in my room. the are excellent. i usually turn music up pretty loud and go down stairs so i can hear it all over the house. these speakers do great on the low mid and high end. i listen to rock and country. i throw it a rap song every once in a while for the bass and it sounds good no matter what u throw at it. dont expect the pounding bass from these speakers because u wont get it. it has great sound on the low end just not pounding. i have 2 12s and 2 15s i use for the pounding. the only thing i dont like about these sonys are the screw type things that hold the speakers in. the dont really have any grooves so u cant tighten or loosen them. since ive had them for a yr and have always had it up loud when i used it the mid in one of them has came a little loose and has a slight rattle when i turn it up. not a big deal, its the only con about these speakers |
