Sony SS-B1000 5.25" Bookshelf Speakers (Pair)

I recently purchased a pair of Sony SS-B1000s for use as computer speakers. I am driving them with a relatively high-quality amplifier (NAD C-340) and can't imagine that there is a better speaker to be found in the sub-$50 price range! Although the bass extension is obviously limited, the response is tight even when the little Sonys are driven to high levels by the C-340. The sound is not nearly as open as, say, audiophile bookshelf speakers in the $300 price range, but their compactness and ability to handle a lot of power without flinching makes them ideal for surround and computer applications, where size is a real limiting factor. They are NOT bright, which most listeners will probably prefer for most applications. In short, a simply spectacular speaker for the size/price.

You can safely ignore any negative reviews you find about this speaker.

I replaced my old KLH 3 1/2 inch 2 way speakers with these sony 5 1/2 inch and they are great! I read about every review before I bought them and I must agree with the rest that gave a good review, you clearly hear the bass and crisp highs jumping out at you. I have a 5 inch KLH powered subwolfer for bass that I used before, now I don't need to use it unless I just want extra bass. For the price and the sound these speakers give, you "CAN'T" go wrong with these speakers.

The speakers were a good buy for $50 including S&H. The speakers are OK. For $50/pair, they're about as a good as deal as you can get. Don't expect great sound though. I have many speakers that sound much better than these, hence I can only give them 3 stars.

Has to be the best bang for buck out there....not huge but sleek stylish and packs a beautiful punch for 50 dollars u cannot go wrong...i love electronics and i do know much about them if u buy these u will not be let down i'm sure u will be very suprised....started wit a regular sony home theater in a box and slowly upgraded the speakers thanks to amazon the best by the way... bought these for rears sound great for music and excellent for movies and games (i own xbox 360...they are very clear and crisp no distortion at all and they are getting 100 watts of power each....i have them matched wit a polk audio cs1 center channel excellent by the way and my fronts are channels are polk monitor 30's its sounds great i know its entry level but sounds beautiful and cant complain about what i paid so far....just need a sub if u wanna go cheap and bang for buck here you go cant do any better!!!!!!

I bought these speakers to attach to a new JVC receiver. I think that they are great. They don't sound like my Sansui SPX-6700 speakers that I have in my living room; but, I didn't expect them to.

Sony always makes good products. These speakers lived up to my expectations. I would buy another set and recommend them to my family and friends.
