What's great about it:?Sonic excellence What's not so great:?Not available in many stores. "There are several big secrets about the SS-B3000 that many people aren't aware of: 1.) #1 speaker according to the #1 Consumer product evaluation group among speakers in its' class; 2.) Best value in speakers at any price; 3.) If you want to find the Kevlar technology used in these speakers, you'll only find them in speakers costing over $600 and up. 4.) While Bose may be the #1 speaker manufacturer, Sony not only has a Nobel prize winning scientist designing their amplifiers, but their speaker design team and advanced materials group will prove to you (once you listen to these) that nobody can compete with the sonic quality of these speakers bang for the buck. from Bestbuy.com My last pair of sony speakers I bought in 1992, a pair of 200W 12in woofers three- way house shaken spakers. But now with the help of a subwoofer these new 8in woofers sound and look great, and the price was less then what I was going to spend on what I thought was a bigger sounding pair of speakers. from Circuitcity.com Pros: Crisp sound, great bass, nice design and architecture, incredible price for what they sound like. Cons: None. from Bestbuy.com Pros: Really good bass Cons: Had to put on floor "Sony makes really great speakers -- the set all together is great too. from Bestbuy.com 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. from Amazon.com 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. from Amazon.com 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. from Amazon.com I ordered these without seeing any dimensions (via Amazon mobile). I thought they were 8" tall given that they are refered to as "bookshelf" speakers. I don't know what bookshelves Sony is putting these things on but they are 20" tall. from Amazon.com I'm very impressed by the power of these speakers. I have these paired with the SS-CR3000 Centerchannel and Rear speakers. from Amazon.com I'm in the unfortunate position of having audiophile ears but a small budget. So I shop carefully for audio equipment. from Amazon.com
