My primary reason for getting these speakers was to complete a surround system around a recently acquired set of Sony front speakers from the same series (ss-f7000 and ss-cn5000). They have proved perfect for that duty. As a standalone speaker, they are fine given the usual limitations of a speaker this size. There are lots of comparable alternatives size and cost-wise if you shop carefully. Energy, Boston, Polk, just a few possibilities if voice matching a set is not a consideration. Perfectly decent speaker for the $. I could use them in many situations and be happy.

A friend of mine picked up a pair of these ss-b1000 speakers on the cheap ($15 dollars at Goodwill--lucky find). The audio they provide from TV and music is great and worth every penny of the $60 I was happy to pay for them here. They work great with Sony receiver and subs I have been stashing away until now. Bang on!

The adage "You get what you pay for" usually applies to electronic, even when paired with a reputable name like Sony. I am happy to report that the sound from these speakers sounds much "richer" than what I paid for them. Sound quality is subjective, however, and usually a matter of , listener's ear, comparison, application. I would like to consider myself an audiophile on a budget (I know what sounds good, even if I know I can't afford it). With that being said, its not any of the big tag brands. The kinds of speakers that are sold in their own stores, but these speakers will hold their own against most any brand that can be found at your neighboring electronics store or department. I am using these speakers as rear fill/surround in a carpeted medium sized room. They are paired with Sony towers, center and sub. Assuming you are shopping for the right speaker (your expectation, doesn't exceed your wallet or reality) then rest assure; these speakers, more than likely, will be meet your need.Read full review
These speakers put out great sound as long as you put 100 watts or better into them. My receiver put 135 watts into them and they can handle a bit more. Never pushed them harder than 135 watts because My receiver only put out 135 watts per channel. My new receiver puts out 145 watts per channel but I got all new higher watt speakers so I never used them with my new receiver. I am confident that they would have performed well I just wanted way more power from my 4 main speakers for the music application. They were awesome in the 5.1, 7.1, and 9.2 application for movies and also worked well as surrounds side and rear. They ran very nicely as my front mains but I upgraded my receiver and amplifiers so I went up to 350 watts per channel on the 4 main speakers with 12" speakers in the enclosure used for mid range instead of sub with a separate amp. I use two 10' velodyne for my sub now. The only reason why I'm selling this system is because I upgraded everything.Read full review

I bought these Speakers to use as the rear surround speakers in a 7.1 Surround Configuration. I am a long time user of Sony Audio & Video Consumer products as I believe that Sony gives Big Performance at a Great Value, and these Small Speakers do not disappoint. The size is perfect as a rear surround speaker and the sound quality is right up to par with what I expected. Also, the appearance of the speakers are of high quality and look good in any living room/media room situation. In my Opinion, these Speakers deliver Pleasing Performance, Good Quality, and Great Value.
