the exterior design is elegant and subtle.
very clean design.
one point of potental difficulty is that the speakers have a bit of weight to them - quality of design - and the included wall mounts attach at only one end of the speaker.
for the area i was setting up my home theater in i could really only go with a satellite style speaker, and not wanting to go with an htib setup, i went with a sub/sat combo instead.
the mounting hardware didn't work for mounting the speakers on the wall for me as designed and were difficult to even attempt to install because of their design.
the only reason that i could not give 5 star rating for the product is because of its poorly designed wall mounting unit for the satellite speaker.
the subwoofer is kind of big, but really beautiful if you plan to expose it to the public view.
easy setup with wall/book shelf mount or with sleek hk speaker stands.
the mounting brackets are very awkwardly designed but ultimately serve their purpose and function fine (they allow the speaker to swivel).
this is the second review i had to write about these speakers because of the performance, let alone the true 4-way design, let alone the frequency range, let alone the price.
great for video and even better for audio, and i listen to a very wide range of music styles.
i think they are designed well and look very classy next to my lcd tv.
second, appearance and build quality are first rate.
clear crisp highs, penetrating mids, boomy lows, sleek design and not gawdy.
i did give it a 4-star on design because the speaker connections were just the spring clamp kind...
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
im an electronics tech by trade and appreciate the sturdy construction, yet aesthetically pleasing design of these speakers.
also very stylish looking
i call them hybrids because their design and size lie somewhere between bookshelf speaker and floor speaker; adequate for either use.
wow, what a nice sounding product that is beautiful to look at.
sounds beautiful.
beautifully finished and superb sound.
beautiful cherry finish and great, balanced sound in a compact package.
and by the way did i say they were a very good looking pair of speakers.
i recently upgraded all components of my home theater and have a very large room with an open modern design, so appearance was as important as sound for me.
the cabinets are beautiful brushed metal which thick glass bases.
i have been looking for several months, and these have a terrific combination of style and sound..
your spouse will be interested to here that the fs are great looking and do not take up a lot space.
the cabinets are beautiful black brushed metal (silver also available) which thick glass bases.
i feel like there is a small design flaw in the fact that i have to use a screw driver to twist the speaker to aim it down at my gaming station.
i shopped around the net and looked at reviews for many pc speaker systems - i settled with the logitech g51 -- great quality construction and nice design looks- excellent sound for first person
clear beautiful sound.
great looking surround sound system (you can even replace the skins to match your decor) that is very easy to install and setup.
not to mention the fact they are attractive to look at on my desk.
this combination sounds pretty good together.the one thing that sony could have done to improve the design would be to attach a bracket on the back for wall mounting.
i rate sony bookshelf speakers five stairs for sound quality, design, range, as well as for cost-benefit.
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
note that the side speakers do not have screw holes on the bottom or back to mount to speaker stands--they were designed for shelf use.
the front firing design makes for a more efficient dispersement of sound, imo.the new model has been given more power than the prior model (120 watt vs 180 watt) and has a bit more punch than the
after reading some of the customer reviews, i agree about what has been said about its overall appearance.
the only con is the physical appearance is not that attractive, but overall i think i got a good subwoofer for the price.
sounds good, looks good, and the whole shebang cost a whole $360 here on amazon.com this sony combo is a big sound improvement over the small satellite speakers like the bose acoustimass, klh, or
i have watched 300, the dark knight, and iron man all on blu-ray with the uncompressed audio tracks and this sub performs beautifully.
while most speakers sold these days are designed for home theaters and are balanced toward movie dialog these are quite "musical" in their sound.
but the new one's are much more in style and perform just as well and hopefully i will have close to the same life expectancy.
pros: attractive design, easy to connect, great sound quality, powerful best uses: audiophiles, basic systems, larger rooms, smaller rooms bottom line: yes, i would recommend this to a friend
pros: attractive design, easy to connect, great sound quality, powerful best uses: audiophiles, larger rooms, smaller rooms describe yourself: audiophile, professional, tech savvy
pros: awesome bass,crisp highs,beautiful design!!!one of the best home speakers around.
overall an outdated speaker design.
the 3-way design makes highs & vocals crisp and clear.
the norm today is small and all in one, this can be decent but one is really spending/ wasting more money on something that will be out of style in the coming years.
my living room looks great with the matching design of all of these speakers.
looks great with my all-black entertainment setup.
i also like the design of the speakers.
and the satellite speakers and strong and sleek looking.
if you want good looking speakers that have great sound, then look no further.
these look beautiful too but the finish is extremely delicate and will rub off with very light use.
the subwoofer is also designed to inhibit the "buzz" that some subwoofers create in the room it's in.
one cannot expect to compare the performance of these speakers to full sized (and accordingly priced) speakers for home stereo systems but for the purpose they are designed, they do very well.
i know these speakers are not the most attractive things in the world, but ultimately what you should be buying them for is the sound quality, and this system excels in it.
it is very sleek and the sub looks different but it is a nice small package that can be placed out of the way.
smart design all around.
i have a dedicated tv room that's about 10x14 and these speakers fill it with beautiful sound.
there is an integrated port in each speaker that is designed to ensure the balance of air-flow for a great sound.
[...]design
speakers may have different sensitivities by design.
all of the speaker boxes are a gray plastic, which is not un-attractive but here again it's a compromise to meet a price point.
this speaker sounds and looks great!
beautifully constructed, likes power.
* cherry finish is really quite beautiful
this is a well balanced system for movies, although, a good set of fronts like monitor 60s or 70s would be ideal for music.the speakers feel solid and look quite stylish, a nice addition to my set
fantastic construction and design for maximum sound output, with dual-ports for multi-directional output as well.
the design is flawless; they are pretty heavy for being so small with my stereo/surround sound setup.
excellent system, i just replaced my bose am6 for this babies and what a difference, sound, style and price.
but this is what i call 'classic' bass sound, matching its sleek stylish look.
also speakers by himself looks beautifull and it realy worth the money i paid for.
mid's are.......beautiful and the lows are bassy but not muddy.
and it was an excellent choice, they should be treated as furniture because they are beautiful, and the sound is very supreme, hooked up through an onkyo amp,they just blow away my old infinity
most modern day speakers are designed for home theatre set ups and few companys anymore make decent speakers for old school 2-channel stereo use.
this sub compliments my home theatre system beautifully.
but it performs well and looks great too.
the bass is fairly tight and the cabinet is not ugly like some of the others i have seen.
looks good, sounds good, and is relatively cheap.
in response to shazam's complaint that there is no volume control on his speaker system, although the complaint is valid in terms of design and using the "touch" system serves only to increase the
has to be the best bang for buck out there....not huge but sleek stylish and packs a beautiful punch for 50 dollars u cannot go wrong...i love electronics and i do know much about them if u buy these
they are well-designed though -- i imagine that they have a high-pass filter on the woofer, because if you play bassy music loud, they do not distort (they simply do not attempt to reproduce those
these fit the bill nicely with good bass response and an attractive price.
design wise, these speakers look quite good (as do most sony products).
sleek
