Nice

These compliment my Sony SS F6000s. Small and capable of producing sound. The speaker has options compared to the smaller surround speakers. I use these as my rear surround speakers in my soon to be be complet 5.1 set up.
What's great about it: Compact, sturdy woofer material, value
What's not so great: None yet
I would recommend this to a friend!

Good Value for Money

I bought a pair of SS-B1000s to cross-link in parallel with another pair of Sony Speakers (not sure about the model-belonged to a mini Hi-Fi 3-way system) on a 1979 NEC A730E 350W@8Ω integrated amplifier. They work great so far, whereas they fail in low-really low- frequencies, producing an almost inaudible hiss, which however is annoying in end-scale volume. Very good value though!
What's great about it: Exceptional Style, Small Size
What's not so great: Low Bass performance
I would recommend this to a friend!

Pleasantly surprised...

I bought 2 sets of these, one for my center channel, the other for my surround backs. After setting the crossover on the receiver so the subwoofer would handle the low bass, I realized I could have saved some money by using them for all channels. They sound great.
What's great about it: Clean crisp sound
What's not so great: If there is one, you expected way too much...
I would recommend this to a friend!

Full sound for size and price

I bought these to pair up with an old Sony STR-V45 transceiver and was suprised at the low end bass and how much power they can take. Also using a Realistic (old school) 10 band EQ. They rock.

SONY SS-B1000 Bookshelf Speakers
on July 12, 2010
Posted by: thomasanthony
These SONY's are the rear speakers of my surround sound (a condo), with a SONY center channel and true professional studio monitors for the front. It is a great set-up for condos/townhouses, where you have to respectfully keep the sound to decent levels. Really excellent bookshelf speakers for the price - I do not know of any other company with the same size & sound. Similar ones will cost $80-$120. You can't go wrong with this SONY bookshelf model, if they filled my needs I'm sure they'll work excellent for yours as well.
What's great about it: Compact, efficient , sleek, dependable - what more could you ask for in a small speaker system?
What's not so great: Personally, I don't like the grill styling & keep the grills off.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Sony makes great stuff!

Using these speakers as rear surround in a 7.1 setup with a Sony STR-DH740 (A/V receiver). I love how these speakers are capable of reproducing both high and low frequency sounds. Powerful explosions and attention-grabbing bullet fire. Whatever sounds need to be reproduced just sound great to me.
I have these paired with the SS-B3000's, the CN-5000, and the SS-F6000's.

Performance and value

These speakers play some serious music! When I first got these speakers I connected them to the front output on my Sony 5.1 receiver...they can really fill the room.
I am currently using them as the rears in combination with the SS-F5000s. I have the crossover set to 100Hz, and these speakers have been great - haven't been disappointed yet.
What's great about it: Amazing sound, great looks
What's not so great: none
