Good Purchase April 22, 2010 S. Rosenbaum I ordered these speakers on a Friday and received them the following Wednesday with the free shipping offer. Pretty amazing Amazon. I was really surprised at the difference this speaker set made. I used the two surround speakers as front speakers because I already had Yahama in-wall speakers for my rear speakers. I put the speakers at the same height as the center speaker and have them all hooked to a Denon AVR-790. Previously I had to turn the volume up to hear the dialog but not any more. After calibrating the sound system I can run the volume much lower and still hear the dialog distinctly, even with background music and sounds coming from the other speakers. Great product at a great price. I recommend this speaker set and also recommend buying them from Amazon.
Standing in the Middle. March 26, 2010 Jeffery Mark Tatum (Medford, Oregon, USA) Amazon.com,
I am sure the three speakers would have been perfect (1 center, 2 Channel speakers), but they were not designed for a surround sound Home Theater System, such as I have, and thus the speakers were completely wrong for my system. What I wanted was two sorround sound speakers for a remote room, but I had to go with S-AIR Speaker System with a transmitter. I am curious as to what main unit the three speakers would be part of.
Thank you for allowing my feedback.

sony speakers February 27, 2010 Dale A. Blackwell one of my rear speakers was blown I used one of my previous front speakers as replacement and used these speakers as front and middle, discarding (but saving) the previous center speaker. The speakers are very good not quite as "crisp" as the previous (more bass less treble)
Cheap: Price, Quality & Sound February 27, 2010 Bargain Finder (Manchester, NH) I bought these as a cheap filler for my 5.1 setup with mid-grade Polk fronts and 7.2 Yamaha receiver. The plan is to eventually upgrade these and move them to Surround Rear duty or Zone 2 as I grow the system. I purchased full well knowing these were cheap speakers, that Sony generally gets bad reviews among the A/V crowd and that I wouldn't be too impressed.
They lived up to their reputation. The sound quality is certainly low and the build construction isn't anything to write home about but the price is right. When you consider that getting the complementing Polk versions of surrounds and center would cost around ~$200, this is a steal. I would recommend these to two groups of people: Those who don't care in the first place and would settle for a HTIB anyway and those that are using them as a placeholder to accompany quality fronts. The reality is that even in a surround setup, the fronts are ~80% of the experience.
no mount on the center speaker February 26, 2010 Thomas (NY) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
There are no holes in the center speaker.I had to drill one in order to mount it on the TV stand.
