REVIEW 1 (5 STARS) Great Value

I agree with previous favorable reviews. These speakers may not equal the sound quality of much more expensive models, but they come close enough to make the price difference to step up unreasonable for most people. The following review is intended for those trying to select between Sony models. In January 2008 I bought a pair of Sony SS-B3000 speakers from Amazon and was pleasantly surprised with their sound quality when use with a subwoofer and center channel speaker. I used them as floor standing speakers with homemade stands. Today I received a new pair of SSF-5000 speakers and I've spent over 4 hours doing A/B comparisons with the SS-B3000 units. My conclusion: the SSF-5000 wins out narrowly by placing the tweeters higher (closer to ear level). Otherwise, both excellent pairs of speakers produce similar sound: clear, crisp and with more volume capacity than my 18x30 ft. family room requires. I am particularly impressed with the tweeter quality during classical (Beethoven and Tchaikovsky) instrumentals and folk vocals (The Irish Tenors, Nana Mouskouri). You won't go wrong with either the SS-B3000 or SS-F5000. Choose according to your spacial preferences. The SS-F5000 is about a foot taller with virtually identical sound, width and depth. Either pair is an excellent buy.

REVIEW 2 (5 STARS) AWESOME SPEAKERS!!!

First, I am an average listener - let me repeat that: I AM AN AVERAGE LISTENER - and I believe that the Sony SSF-5000 floor speakers are very loud, with good crisp highs, strong mids, and the bass response is absolutely great. If you need earth-shaking bass, you need a subwoofer, but these speakers will kick out a fair amount of bass - enough to feel through your floor. There is no distortion that I can hear, even when I have the system cranked up. Speaker connections were easy, even when I used fat 12-gauge oxygen-free copper wires. The black finish is nice. The cloth grills look great. These speakers match all the other Sony speakers in my system. I hope this review helps you.

REVIEW 3 (5 STARS) Amazing Sound For An Unbeatable Price

Forget all other audio companies. Sony will always have the highest quality products for the best prices. 3 foot high towers for $50 each??? They must be pretty mediocre right? Wrong. These speakers are wonderful.

They have a full, bright sound and can get as loud as you possibly want (and louder) if you have a decent receiver. There is a great distinction between the tweeter, mid and sub. These are the best speakers I have ever owned.

The only thing wrong with them is if you love extreme, rumbling bass, they might not meet your standards. But a good active sub woofer is a must for any good sound system anyway.

REVIEW 4 (5 STARS) Absolutely Stunning set of speakers

I usually do not write reviews but these speakers blew my mind on sound quality for a small price. I have an Onkyo TX-SR505 receiver. I bought two sets of these speakers as my fronts and my Surround Speakers. Alongside I have two yamaha bookshelf speakers, an infinity C250 center speaker, and a JBL Venue 12" subwoofer. The blend with these speakers are phenominal. I listen to music all the time and these speakers compliment the mismatching speakers very well. These Sony speakers will take a punch as well. Don't be afraid of turning up your receiver and getting distortion out of these speakers. They will shock you!!! I am a musician and I love my music so all music lovers on a budget, you can't go wrong with these!

REVIEW 5 (5 STARS) Gets the job done at an EXCELLENT price.

I ordered a Polk Audio 5.1 speaker system, with an Onkyo TX-SR705, then I got to looking and saw these for $99. Needless to say I was very apprehensive about how these would sound, well I tell you what for $99 you cannot go wrong, I could see people paying $300-$400 for a pair of these and not complaining.

I am no audiophile nutbag, but these sound amazing paired with the Polks, the bass is even nice and tight, so go ahead an getcha pull and grab some of these for the price you will not be disappointed.

I now have a complete 7.1 system, that plays all the new surround formats, and is THX certified for well under $1000 Guess how happy I am?

REVIEW 6 (5 STARS) Rock It

These Sony speakers are just the right price and sound just like the way more expensive ones. You can have the look of them covered or without to show the woofers, great look. Play some Led Zeppelin on them and judge for yourself. They sound way better than my surround sound system I had and cost much less. Turn em up and rock out

REVIEW 7 (5 STARS) Amazing speakers!

I ordered the SSF-5000 pair about a month ago and these speakers are amazing! I'm sure there are audiophile-grade speakers out there with better sound but you'll have to pay an arm and a leg to get any better than these. I use these mostly for music and as front speakers for my surround sound. I've got the Sony STR-DG710 6.1 Channel Home Theater Receiver, Sony SA-W2500 Performance Line 100 Watt Subwoofer, Sony SS-CR3000 Center and Rear Channel Speaker Package, and the Sony SSF-5000 pair. My living room looks great with the matching design of all of these speakers. My wife and I love watching Blu-rays with my Playstation 3 80GB and listening to the amazing sound through ALL of my Sony speakers. When I was testing these out I turned off my sub so that I can really hear them. Without the sub the bass is still powerful! It doesn't shake the walls or anything but, instead, packs a solid, bass punch. The mids are loud and the highs are very clear. I wouldn't mind having the Sony SSF-6000 Floor Standing 4-way Speaker Pair, but with my powered sub the extra bass from the SSF-6000 wasn't necessary. This package is a must-have!

REVIEW 8 (5 STARS) Amazing speakers for the price!

These are good quality speakers in my opinion. Just on the fact alone that you're get 2 BRAND NEW Tower Speakers for UNDER $200! I bought these to replace my 28 year old 10" 3-Wat Technics Speakers that the Mid rang & Tweeters started going out in. I play old-school Vinyl everyday & these produce great sound for me. Bass still rumbles my floors. Highs are great too!
