from Best Buy Summary:
At close range, the speakers sound very clean and the timbre changes little with listening angle. As distance increases, the sound level of the tweeter drops much faster than the woofer's. The sound is very muddy past about 8 feet. They're excellent on an office desk or in a small room. They can be used as surround sound speakers as long as they're within a few feet of the listeners. Don't put them in a large room, even as fill speakers.
The bass is weak, as expected for a tiny speaker rated at 120W. Strengths:
Clean sound with good coverage at close range Weaknesses:
Treble drops rapidly with distance

from Circuit City Summary:
These little speakers are quite amazing. I'm powering them with a 10 watt per channel integrated vacuum tube amp. Obviously, due to their size, they should be used along with a subwoofer. They weren't designed to blow out windows..... I have the Sony SA-WX700 dual 10 inch sub that they match up well with. The midrange clarity is outstanding for such a small speaker. The highs, unlike what others have stated, are very smooth and revealing, not harsh and grainy. I have them on a pair of 30" Plateau speaker stands about 8' apart and about 2' from the back wall. They're very holographic and image like crazy. They are overall, a very impressive pair of budget speakers. They weren't meant to be compared to and reviewed against speakers costing hundreds, if not thousands more. But, why not? ;-) As far as I'm concerned, they can definately hold their own and play quite loud with a measly 10 watts. They're worth every penny. Strengths:
Midrange clarity and open, smooth highs. Weaknesses:
Obvious lack of bass due to there size, but sounds perfectly fine with a good subwoofer. Similar Products Used:
Infinity, Acoustic Research, Klipsch.

from local audio srore Summary:
These speakers sound very good for the price. I have heard lots of $200 speakers that don't sound much better. The only difference in the speakers is the bass response. The sony speakers have almost no low response. You hardly get any bass. But for me that is not a problume for me though. I have two velodyne subs which pick up the low end frequences very well. One is a cht-10 and one is a spl-1000 which together have 1875 watts of total power. Strengths:
High are very clear and crisp Weaknesses:
now low end response Similar Products Used:

from Best Buy Summary:
On paper, these speakers appear adequate for casual use and on top of it, they're fairly attractive and have good craftmanship for the price. However, in a critical evaluation their weaknesses are revealed. In comparison to my usual Optimus LX-5's, the Sony speaker lacks the range and depth that I'm used to. Given their size, of course there isn't much low end bass to speak of. The woofer is actually very nice and provides relaxed, yet clear, mid-ranges. The biggest downfall is the tweeter, which sounds a bit tired dynamically and has very narrow dispersion. I played with speaker placement quite a bit before I settled, and even then there was only one spot, +/-1 foot, in the room that worked. Overall, I think the speaker has nice warm mid-tones, but the poor tweeter performance is a dealbreaker for me. Back to Best Buy they go. But hey, for $50 it's worth a listen if you're on a budget. Strengths:
Mid-tones. Weaknesses:
Tweeter performance. Similar Products Used:

from Circuit City Summary:
These lil speakers are great,especially for what I payed for em.I was very suprised that new Sony speakers feature Kevlar cones,a great improvement I must say.When I compaired them to Polk Audio and Infinity,I noticed that there really isnt that much of a significant difference.Sure they had a little more bass and better highs/mids,but I figured there was no reason to pay outrageous prices on bookshelf speakers. Strengths:
Pounding bass out of a small enclosure
Clear highs
Defined mids
Kevlar reinforced cones,yeah!
I thought my little Vegas were good until I heard how clean sounding these are Weaknesses:
NONE so far! Similar Products Used:
Cerwin Vega L-7 Bkshlf
