Any college student/individual on a budget will be interested in this review: br / br /Before I hooked up my Cambridge Audio Azur 340A, PS2, and SS-B3000s together, I went over to the Beverly area to reference more expensive hi-fi audio equipment, and the first thing the people at Ahead Stereo said was that ~$100 speakers were trash. I was so convinced that I almost put down nearly $1000 for Paradigms and a Rotel. Thank goodness my ear--trained with LA Acoustics, Castles, Sonus Fabers, and other obscure hi-fi brands--could tell that I would never be able to convince myself that obviously boxed-in and muddy middles and highs would be okay. br / br /The takeaway: Don't ever buy into the notion that you HAVE to spend big bucks to get a decent setup, especially if you're a budget audiophile like I am. These speakers definitely perform way out of their price range; for $86 (which is what I paid a couple weeks ago), I've got smashing sound in my dorm room. The only way this setup could get any better would be to add a turntable, which is happening soon. I'll admit that my sounds could be crisper, fuller, and more colorful, but how can I possibly rationalize having a luxury automobile's worth of equipment in my dorm room? br / br /I am super happy with these Sonys, as well as my Azur 340A. I'm going for a first-gen PS1 to upgrade from my PS2 to play CDs. And then a turntable. With any luck, I'll be drinking wine while listening to Mozart and Beethoven soon!
 too good to be true October 30, 2008

I bought these to replace Kenwood speakers that I purchased in 1987. A woofer on one of the Kenwoods had failed. I was expecting to pay a lot of money for good speakers, but the reviews for the Sony SS-B3000 convinced me I could get great quality for a small price. I bought the Sonys and was disappointed. The sound was muted compared to my one good Kenwood. I use these exclusively for music, and they just don't perform satisfactorily. Maybe ok for gaming, can't say. I packed them up and shipped them back to Amazon, who quickly processed my refund in full.
It's nice to be surprised!..Highly recommended! October 30, 2008

It was time to buy some larger speakers as opposed to the dinky space saving brand x-er's I had downsized to years ago.I had been craving for the larger sound again...not necessarily the louder sound,although some of those top 10 tunes need to have the volume turned up from time to time.These fit the bill as they were puchased on consumer ratings and many.....if not all,were 5 star......and the price you ask?...85 bucks shipped from Vanns......COME ON!. br / It's not like years ago when you could prance into Pacific Stereo or Universal stereo and compare almost anything audio.These days,it's mostly packaged equipment and not many separates.I had to depend on the ratings and the name and it paid off.I bought this pair to play back a CD,Cassette deck and 4 track tape player through a Pyle PTA2 audio amp I had just purchased.....which works just fine and is a little gem in itself.....So if you listen to Mick and the boys,Cat Stevens,Bach or Babs,these will give you tight bass,balanced mids and defined highs..... a real pleaser and It's nice to be surprised!.....Highly Recommended!
Great speakers October 26, 2008

Great speakers. I bought them for my apartment and I use them as floor standing speakers connected to a PORTABLE CLASS T DIG AMP which I've hooked up to my Apple TV. As the other reviewers say, these are way too big to be on any bookshelf, but they work well as floor standing speakers. The sound from them is great, and they get very loud.
Good sound for the price September 30, 2008

br / br /Sony SS-B3000 Bookshelf Speakers with 8" Woofer (Pair)Bought these speakers to go with my new TV surround system. Well worth the price and nice sound for speakers this cheap. These are my main speakers that are backed up by the sony ss-b1000 for rear speakers and a Velodyne sub. All put together, a nice sound system
