 Adequate August 24, 2010
Pablo (St. Louis)
For very small speakers, this pair does a fine job. I use them in a small space and don't intend to ever test their full strength. Have yet to solve a an interference buzz in one of the speakers, which is really annoying!
 Geat speakers, but not the best. August 22, 2010

First off, i love these speakers. they are very nice and i truely love my pair, but they werent so loveable right out of the box. the bass on these is enjoyable and lively, but somewhat sloppy, and the crossover( which is a single 1.2uF cap) is insuffitient for a truely nice pair of speakers. if you chose these speakers for computer music and web surfing then these complaints can be over looked, but to appease the discerning ear, a few cheap mods need to be done. first, to tighten up the bass, buy some accoustastuff or other type of polyester stuffing (tearing up a old pillow will work) and lightly pack half the speaker cabnet with it. this alone created a desirable affect, but then the woofer was too low and leaft a wide open hole in the frequency response. seeing as it was origionally crossed at 16.6kHs, i think that you could have safely said that already. fix this by simply desoldering the origional cap and replacing it with one thats between a rating of 2.2 and 4.7uF. i used a pair of 3.3uF caps which took the cross over down to 6kHz. this will deffinately help with the SQ. the onlp way you can get into the cab is by unscrewing the tweeters. dont try removing the woofers unless you like a mangled look to your speakers.(persomal exerience speaking there) The hex head screws are fake and purely ornamental. when you buy these, consider doing these two simple mods because they have made me quite a pair of pleasing speakers. i use them in the office and my coleagues are astounded by their pleasing tone and deceptive bass. the mail guy still thinks i have a hidden mini-sub, whatever that is. I use a dayton dta-1 to power these babies. its 15watt per channel amp is more than sufficient and the fact that its smaller than my hand is a plus for my broom closet of a office. i can also see how its portability could come in use. it can run on eight AA batteries. check it out.

Surprisingly good sound, great value August 14, 2010
L. Meaney (Redmond, WA)
Basically, you can't usually expect much from "cheapie" little Sony speakers like this, but even after reading the large number of good reviews, I was completely and pleasantly surprised at the full sound these little guys put out.
I use them in locations where I am doing casual listening, and they put out plenty of decent sound, even with plenty of bottom end for such a small pair. Not audiophile, but if you want to get into a pair of MUCH-MORE-THAN-ADEQUATE speakers for a little money, these guys will do very nicely. Would also do nicely as rears in a surround setup.

These are outstanding for the money! We priced the same thing at Best Buy - we got this pair for about the same cost as one - plus..they didn't have any in stock!
wonderful little speaker August 1, 2010
Albert Rogan (Tenn)
Thank you to all previous reviewers. I went to local store to audition this speaker. Did not sound like much but the highs and bass were there and a little boomy. but hey its a warehouse with 20 foot ceilings. But when I got them home I decided all they needed was a little poly fill. hooked them up to my tx-sr508 setcross over to 120 on receiver and psw110 ( another highly reveiwed item)perfect blend to my ears and WOW. Again Thank you to all reviewers!!!!!!!!!!!!!
PS I did spend a little to dampen my little 9x12 room with 12 24x24 1inch foam squares cost 45 bucks well worth it.
Again thanks for all the reviews I know people dont agree on much so when they do........
