You will want a subwoofer or large left/right channel speakers for low bass. I have a subwoofer so this unit fit in well. I was able to adjust my Sony receiver to send center channel low bass to the sub. Overall the sound is what I exepcted from a speaker of this size. from Amazon.com Purchased this mainly for the center speaker which was the right size to fit in the opening of my projection TV system. Was somewhat disappointed, the center speaker sounded very tinny and also had slight distortion in the upper frequencies at very moderate listening levels that everybody noticed. from Amazon.com I ordered the SS-CR3000 speakers but was surprised when they arrived. They were smaller than I expected with mostly midrange sound output. from Amazon.com I ordered these after reading rave reviews and have to say,they were right! I'm using these to replace my pair of KLH's (each speaker has 2 12" woofers)These Sony's go JUST AS LOUD,and have decent bass(although I do have a subwoofer(yamaha) as well..which I recommend)But I HAD to get some smaller speakers to fit on top of my new houses' mantle and I'm glad these crank as loud as my older BIGGER speakers. The highs aren't as "high" but all I did was turned the treble UP on my receiver(Onkyo)and its fine. from Amazon.com I just needed to replace an existing pair of rear channel speakers that came with my Sony receiver several years ago. This was as close as I could come without spending a bundle; I didn't need the center speaker, but the price was still good considering, and I now have a spare, I guess. from Amazon.com The email confirmation indicated the speakers would ship around 5/21/09. They already today 5/19/09. I had also ordered the TEAC AG-790A stereo receiver so I could once again listen to vinyl. I'm replacing a very old Radio Shack Realistic stereo receiver and Epicure 150 studio monitors. from Amazon.com I purchased this set because I was upgrading from a stereo system to true surround sound. The center channel sounds excellent for mid and high ranges that include voice, but when there are other sounds such as loud booms or traffic, it gets a little bit murky with lower frequencies, but that can be expected, as the center channel is intended for midranges. from Amazon.com I got these speakers to complete my home theater system, which consists of the Sony SS-F5000 floorstanding speakers and a 12 inch Velodyne sub. So far, they seem to work fine and don't have any noticeable distortion. from Amazon.com I had previously owned Bose 601 and AMS series III for about 20 years long before Dolby 5.1 surround. I have just upgraded to a Sony STR DG-720 reciever with active HDMI and 7.1 Surround using a Sony Playstation 3 as a blueray player. As a test I watched Transporter 3 on blueray and realized that for the amount of money I paid for these speakers and the quality of sound, I'm glad I had gotten rid of the Bose system. from Amazon.com I recently purchased a set of Sony SS-CR3000 Center and rear speakers for around $75.00. They sound clear but lack the power I was looking for in my 7.1 sound system upgrade. from Amazon.com
