Summary: Excellent speakers. Got them at Goodwill. That's right, Goodwill for $30.00 and they sound awesome. Go figure...

from Sony store in Romani
Summary: I am the last person to every buy any Sony products, especially speakers!!! The last system I owned was purchsed at a hi-fi store in Toronto Ontario, I own products from Fisher and Denon. I am a sound snob and will pay double the average for a good product.
What no one has mentioned is the depth these speakers have. I want to hear all the highs and lows, if you have a crap driver for your speakers they will not perform as intended. While the sony's lack the bass production of my Canon TLS's, speakers made in California, they do have amazing depth. I close my eyes and I can hear instruments in different positons as the recording intended. The Sony's sound good hooked up to my Denon reciever, they are especially nice when I play musc DVD's recorded in DTS. Again it's the reciever that makes a difference here.
Strengths: Depth and clarity of sound
Weaknesses: A little more bass next time

Summary: These speakers are great. i didnt think they were gonna be but my dad picked them out so i trusted him and im glad i did because they are the best. my dad has klipsch speakers and they are cleaner but these speakers are not bad i am getting another pair and they are the sony ss-mf650h but these ar nice. my room shakes with these.the midrange makes it all that crisper and cleaner it is nice. the tweeter is strong and i think i should wire the speakers with monster cable i heard it makes a big difference.
Strengths: great deep base,(if your amplifier isnt a peice of crap)
excellent highs and nice price
Weaknesses: the highs and lows of your parents screaming at the tops of their lungs to turn it down and you still cant hear them:)

Summary: i have been using these speakers for 5 months.when i hooked them up i did not know what 2 expect(because they were cheap towers and sony).well my thoughts were right, highs sounded muffled and speackers had no bass.i felt like i wasted my money. i could not return them,but i felt like i had to do something.so i took the speaker apart,and replaced the inside wiring with monster cable.it made a world of differance!
Strengths: none, well maybe looks.
Weaknesses: highs sound muffled,no bass.if you do buy these speakers i suggest that you rewire inside of speakers with monster cable it will make a world of differance!
