these handel all that i need as main speakers for both my stereo and my surround sound system.
the small foot print of these speakers frees up valuable space in my living room, and will fit easily in an apartment or dormitory.
for my 7.1 surround sound these were large enough for sound bass and yet small enough to hang from speaker brackets i bought at walmart.
i bought it for our surround sound in our bedroom in order to replace the old huge sanyo speakers, they were great too; the ssb-3000 are used as the front speakers (i bought the ssb-1000 for the rear
i'm using them as the front speakers in a surround sound system.
this is great for the home surround sound and the bass sound is excellent by giving enough bass but yet it wont rattle the windows .
i like the size of the subwoofer as it fits in the limited space i have for it.
i haven't used this sub with any surround sound movies since i have only two bookshelf speakers (jbl ex1control).
the fact of living in a small apartment has forced me to search for small size subwoofer.
i replaced the small center channel that came with the surround sound system i was given as a gift with this sscn5000, and was floored.
i started with the onkyo tx-sr 750 to put together a nice surround sound system, then added the sony sb3000 front - sb1000 rear, sa-w2500 sub and the ssc-n5000 and have a nice system for an apartment.
i have two surround sound systems.
this sub would probably be great in a very small home theater in a small room.
frequently when people say that a speaker has weak output, it is more often than not a function of the basic system power, and/or their surround sound system's speakers being properly balanced,
this system truly gives you that specific speaker surround sound exactly like what you can hear in your local movie theater.
it was far too loud for the small room, but yet was pretty exciting when the f-15s went to full burner.
couldn't beat the price, bought them as a gift...(my son loves his new surround sound speakers!) the shipping was free and they made it here (to alaska!) within a week.
in conjunction with a decent tuner/amplifier, all you need for great surround sound is this inexpensive grouping of speakers.
i was looking for reasonably priced surround sound speakers to pair with my sony bravia tv and sony str-dg520 a/v receiver.
