5 out of 5 stars Sensuous Surround   November 22, 2007
Jesse L. Bellinger (Santa Barbara)

I'm a little chagrined I waited so long to immerse myself in the world of 5.1 surround sound.

Most websites on the subject will tell you to get all of your speakers from the same brand, so the harmonics are all cousins of each other. Well, with Bose bookshelf speakers, the accompanying surround speakers would have been another grand, so I decided to bottom end with Sony.

These little puppies are weird in that you can't take the mesh covers off to spock the look of the speaker diaphragms, but that's the only weird thing. They ship with the tiniest capellini-sized speaker wire you can imagine, which helps you enjoy your new sound straight out of the box until you can get some more decent sized wire.

For a starter kit, these are thoroughly sufficient, plus, they're sleek and unobtrusive. If you haven't experienced surround sound anywhere but the theaters, get these babies and rent Apocalypse Now, or any of the Bourne movies. (Or better yet, watch the dust storm episode from the first season of Carnivale--you'll quite literally be blown away.)

Also, you'll need a digital optical cable from your DVD player to your receiver; otherwise the Dolby surround won't work.



5 out of 5 stars Great Completer Set   October 17, 2007

I paired these with a set of SSB-1000 Bookshelf speakers.
They are a great set to complete for 5.0 surround, i would suggest a separate sub because i low end on the bookshelf speakers or this set.
Center is clear and crisp, rears are mid-small and do the job just fine.

I have this set paired with the SS-B3000 bookshelf speakers. These speakers sound amazing compared to my old speakers. The center channel is crisp and clear. The rear speakers add great depth to movies. I was watching Pirates of the Caribbean 2 to test things out, it's like you're in the movie. I've never experienced that kind of sound before.

EDIT: I just upgraded my receiver to the STR-DG720, even more amazing. These speakers are a match with other Sony products.



5 out of 5 stars Did everything I expected it to and more   September 10, 2009

I purchased this along with a small powered subwoofer to upgrade the stereo setup that we had been using for the past ten years. Our room is only about 12 X 16, so I thought these would do the job. They did. I could not have imagined the difference that the center channel and surrounds would make. I had heard that the center channel was important, but figured it was just hype. I am more than pleased. If you have a small to medium sized room, you may want to give these a try. These speakers and the sub have been the best decision to move us from stereo TV to a nice home theater; all for under $200. I can't believe I put it off so long. I certainly would have done it sooner if I realized the change it would have made.


5 out of 5 stars Cute, clear and affordable   March 2, 2009

I got these not for surround sound (although that may come in the future) but to improve the sound from our small LCD TV. We aren't heavy TV watchers, but with these, and the Sony SS-B3000, SS-B1000 speakers and SA-W2500 sub that we're currently using for our stereo - all purchased through Amazon at great sale prices - we're set to go if we ever take the surround-sound plunge. These little speakers are perfect, very cute and produce clear sound and we couldn't be happier with our purchases.
