Awesome!!!
on September 24, 2012
Posted by: Shawnyboy5
I am using the SS-B1000 for my Left and Right Channels for my PlayStation. And let me tell these speakers are worth every dollar, I replaced some Bose speakers with these and could hear the difference right away. The high and low frequencies are good (very close to great) and I would recommend these speakers to anybody!
What's great about it: Crisp sound, great bass!
What's not so great: None Yet
I would recommend this to a friend!

Long time waiting
on March 19, 2009

I just received the speakers and can't believe the sound. I am so anxious to replace my large floor speakers with this set. They definitely have a great sound and compact in size, but the size does not take away from the clear great sound. I will definitely recommend this web site to my friends.
What's great about it: sound is as strong and powerful as large floor speakers
What's not so great: none so far
I would recommend this to a friend!

Another Great Pair Of Sony Speakers
on January 7, 2009
Posted by: Evildude
I bought this bookshelf speakers to replace an old pair of Sony floor stand speakers, and the first thing that got me it was the sound I couldn't believe that kind of high quality sound was being delivered out of that pair of "small" speakers, their performance is outstanding...I use them with an old amp and a 12" subwoofer, clear and crisp sound even at high volumes.
What's great about it: Clear sound,not distortion at all.
What's not so great: None
I would recommend this to a friend!

Good value

I am using the SS-B1000s as near field speakers in a desk top system with a nuforce DAC and Topping amp. The sound is punchy and vibrant with rock and smooth with classical and jazz. Why pay more?
What's great about it: sound, build quality, price
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great for My Bedroom Stereo
on April 29, 2010
Posted by: Drumolator
Yes, you can buy a better speaker, but you will not be able to find a better speaker for the price. I use them in my bedroom for the stereo and computer sound. I listen to jazz, instrumental rock, prog rock, and smooth jazz on these speakers, and I can hear all of the instruments and vocals very clearly. No, they do not have ultimate bass, but neither does anything else this size or this price. I enjoy listening to them very much, and I am rather picky about sound. Thanks Sony.
What's great about it: Very Musical
What's not so great: NONE, considering the price.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Solid li'l rockers
on November 18, 2012

I've had 3 pair of these in their various cosmetic iterations for about 6 years. They are hands down my faves in the world of affordable bookshelves. I have a pair in my gameroom and with an old Sony receiver, they will indeed rock the house with good detail. Front firing port gives these things plenty of low-end. Tweeters in one pair are dead- a bit disappointing but again they have been pushed hard. I replaced the tweets with silk-domes, and they sound every bit as good as my far more expensive Energy bookshelves.
What's great about it: Sound bigger than they are.
What's not so great: Tweeter delicate.
I would recommend this to a friend!

SS-B1000 speakers
on January 9, 2011
Posted by: flowerlady
have had these speakers for a monthand I am overall pleased with them, they provide quality sound from a compact speaker that is very crisp and enjoyed fully. I use them as my primary speakers for my TV and my husband just loves them! He wanted stero sound, as the speakers on our TV just didn't get it the way he wanted. They sure make movies sound awesome! Great speakers!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Small Size - Big Sound
on January 18, 2009
Posted by: JPro
Great looks and great sound from a compact design. Much richer sound than you get from the small speakers furnished with most home theater systems. Best of all, the rich sound comes without the bulk or pricetag of big floor models. The size and weight offers versitility in mounting (I used decorative shelf brackets to wall mount mine).
I would recommend this to a friend!
