Superior 3-Way Speakers! 
2008-07-26
It was time to update my system's front speakers (KLH 3-way 550s) so I started surfing for 1] good ratings, 2] 2 or 3 way (preferred) design, 3] wide range sonic spectrum, and lastly 4] appropriately priced. Voila!...I came across these Sony 3000s, the ratings were a Perfect 5 (RAVE), 3-way design, near flooring standing speaker sound range, and very affordable; I bought 'em! Set up was a no-brainer, and I tested them using two (2) familiar audio CDs ("That's Entertainment" [Chris Elliot on a Mighty Wurlitzer] and The Eagles "Hotel California"), powered by my Onkyo TX-SR304 5.1 receiver. Results-1st CD: Unless you HAVE TO HAVE a subwoofer (I have two matched 10 inchers), these 3000s will do it all for you. I heard additional detail from them, greater clarity, a more spacial and airy sound stage with essentially very tight, flatline audio reproduction, and "musical" sound; cuts used were That's Entertainment and Danse Macabre. What I DIDN'T hear was very low frequency breakup that I though was coming from the subs, but was being distorted by the KLH speaker's 8" woofers; that didn't occur with the Sonys. For vocal testing, I played Hotel California, and Life In The Fast Lane, again with the same results of exceptionally clear vocals, additional detail from the band's instruments NOT present with the KLHs, and tighter bass response than I'd been getting. Subsequent listening to Brahms 1st and 3rd Symphonies proved these speakers very capable as well. Both the KLH and the Sonys are the same size, same hf/mid/woofer configuration, basically the same weight with Extra Stars going to Sony for better overall construction and REALLY solid/protective speaker grills. While I know you only connect the wire leads one or maybe a couple of times initially, the terminals on both the KLH and the Sonys were spring-clip style where with the Sonys I would have preferred screw-tight binding posts; the latter don't cost all that much more and aren't prone to breaking. (Note: Most ALL entry level and SOME mid-grade receivers use spring-clip style conntectors for the speaker wires. WRONG! I've got one perfectly good 5.1 Onkyo TX-SR303 that I can no longer use because of this spring-clip connector failure and I'm STILL LOOKING for a repair shop that can fix this inexpensively.) Back to the 3000s; better speakers out there?...Yes, BUT...these are the BEST PERFORMING 3-ways for their price range, unobtrusive appearance, and solid construction all contributing to their 5-Star rating, and well deserved to get it. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED for ALL TYPES of audio reproduction. (A'.com is the best source for these speakers, expecially when you consider the Free Shipping offered.)
Good Speakers for the Money 2008-06-23
I bought these speakers for my husband and he really likes them, "they are very good speakers for the money."
Buy them unbelievable value 2008-06-18
I have much more expensive speakers and none come close to the sound for the price and incredible value. These speakers will stand up favorably to speakers costing much more. I use for music and home theater in my bedroom with smaller sony surround, sub woofer and center channel and they are absolutely stunning looking and sounding....just get them and see for yourself. I am listening to them as I am writing this review and I am telling you, you can not beat them.
EXCELENT PERFORMANCE FOR PRICE 2008-06-18
Before I buy these speakers, I made an extensive research. I have tested BOSE, JBL and POLK speakers but all of them seems not to be enought for my new SONY 6.1 HOME THEATER AUDIO. I choose this ones for price and because of the opinions of other buyers; I am glad I did that because the quality of sound is amazing, and I did not expect the size of the speakers.
Nice Speakers 
2008-05-27
I was pleasantly surprised by these rather large bookshelf speakers. They are well constructed and have a rather linear sound. I have them in my garage, which is a horrible space acoustically, and takes a fair amount of power to "fill the room". These speakers seem to do well though, especially when considering the price. Surprisingly in these days of companies saving every dime they can, my pair came with speaker wires. The covers are nicely made, but there are large gaps (part of the design) between the covers and cabinet when viewed from the side.
Probably sound great, but NOT "bookshelf" 2008-05-16
When it comes to creating high-quality Hi-Fi sound in your home, selecting the proper speakers is even more important. Sony makes it easy with an extremely wide range of different speakers. Whether you're listening to a refined string quartet or watching a powerful action-packed movie, Sony's speakers are designed to deliver an intensive acoustic experience that is both powerful and emotional.PRODUCT FEATURES:8" newly developed Kevlar H.O.P. woofer;3 ?" enhanced H.O.P. cone - mid driver;1" nano fine balanced dome tweeter;Sound reproduction to 50kHz (for high resolution audio);120W maximum input power.
nice speakers 2008-05-02
well made speakers that complement my MTX main floor speakers perfectly.
they handle the bass well but I have to adjust the treble down. but, good speaker for the money.
Great sound for the price 2008-04-14
I'm very impressed by the power of these speakers. I have these paired with the SS-CR3000 Centerchannel and Rear speakers. I test drove them with Pirates of the Caribbean 2 on Blu-Ray. It sounded like I was there with them. I could hear every little detail from front to rear. Also, my music has a much greater depth to them. These are great. These speakers are huge for bookshelf speakers, just a warning for those saving space. I recommend these speakers.
Great Quality for Price 2008-04-12
These speakers were purchased for a family room audio system. They deliver quality sound for a very reasonable price and we have found them very satisfactory. As other reviewers have noted, it is an ideal purchase if you are looking to supplement your audio needs. If you are a stickler for a really rich, base sound, than this will probably not be the purchase for you. These speakers have a sleek, handsome appearance but are not designed for the average bookshelf. However, they will work very nicely if you happen to have a low bookcase to place them on. They are narrow enough to fit easily on a standard shelf, but are much higher than the average bookcase speaker.
All in all, a great purchase for the price!
Excellent speakers! 2008-04-11
I use these as my satellite speakers for my surround system. They work beautifully for that. Couldn't be happier.
