My primary reason for getting these speakers was to complete a surround system around a recently acquired set of Sony front speakers from the same series (ss-f7000 and ss-cn5000). They have proved perfect for that duty. As a standalone speaker, they are fine given the usual limitations of a speaker this size. There are lots of comparable alternatives size and cost-wise if you shop carefully. Energy, Boston, Polk, just a few possibilities if voice matching a set is not a consideration. Perfectly decent speaker for the $. I could use them in many situations and be happy.

A friend of mine picked up a pair of these ss-b1000 speakers on the cheap ($15 dollars at Goodwill--lucky find). The audio they provide from TV and music is great and worth every penny of the $60 I was happy to pay for them here. They work great with Sony receiver and subs I have been stashing away until now. Bang on!

The adage "You get what you pay for" usually applies to electronic, even when paired with a reputable name like Sony. I am happy to report that the sound from these speakers sounds much "richer" than what I paid for them. Sound quality is subjective, however, and usually a matter of , listener's ear, comparison, application. I would like to consider myself an audiophile on a budget (I know what sounds good, even if I know I can't afford it). With that being said, its not any of the big tag brands. The kinds of speakers that are sold in their own stores, but these speakers will hold their own against most any brand that can be found at your neighboring electronics store or department. I am using these speakers as rear fill/surround in a carpeted medium sized room. They are paired with Sony towers, center and sub. Assuming you are shopping for the right speaker (your expectation, doesn't exceed your wallet or reality) then rest assure; these speakers, more than likely, will be meet your need.Read full review
These speakers put out great sound as long as you put 100 watts or better into them. My receiver put 135 watts into them and they can handle a bit more. Never pushed them harder than 135 watts because My receiver only put out 135 watts per channel. My new receiver puts out 145 watts per channel but I got all new higher watt speakers so I never used them with my new receiver. I am confident that they would have performed well I just wanted way more power from my 4 main speakers for the music application. They were awesome in the 5.1, 7.1, and 9.2 application for movies and also worked well as surrounds side and rear. They ran very nicely as my front mains but I upgraded my receiver and amplifiers so I went up to 350 watts per channel on the 4 main speakers with 12" speakers in the enclosure used for mid range instead of sub with a separate amp. I use two 10' velodyne for my sub now. The only reason why I'm selling this system is because I upgraded everything.Read full review

I bought these Speakers to use as the rear surround speakers in a 7.1 Surround Configuration. I am a long time user of Sony Audio & Video Consumer products as I believe that Sony gives Big Performance at a Great Value, and these Small Speakers do not disappoint. The size is perfect as a rear surround speaker and the sound quality is right up to par with what I expected. Also, the appearance of the speakers are of high quality and look good in any living room/media room situation. In my Opinion, these Speakers deliver Pleasing Performance, Good Quality, and Great Value.
These speakers are excellent for a small to medium size room, an enclosed porch,or outdoor gazebo.Good sound without the overkill of other speaker sets(unless you want to blast a hole in the wall).Very reasonably priced and just the right size to place just about anywhere you wish.The speakers look good too and will go well with just about any decor.Hook these up to your receiver with a subwoofer,and you'll be enjoying your favorite music or live sporting events with just enough Ooompf that it will get your heart beating a little bit faster.Did I mention that these are Sony? A quality name brand that has been producing qulity products for decades!
These are very good speakers for the most part. If you are limited in space and want a decent sound, these are a good choice. Keep in mind these are not large speakers,so you won't get the " large " sound. But for surround speakers or for the back speakers for a 7.1 system, I think that these are an excellent choice. Everyone has a different opinion when it comes to speakers, but as far as I'm concerned I like these very much. A very good sound for the " size " of the speaker.
I purchased the sony ss-b1000 speakers to be my rear satellite speakers for my home theater,and right out of the box I was impressed.Great quality for a small speaker,and pretty heavy too for the price. I have a sony str-dn1010 receiver,sony ss-cn5000 center channel,sony ss-f6000 floor speakers,and a sony 10"subwoofer to complete the set. After making adjustments to the receiver (setting the rear speakers to large to get a better sound) the sony ss-b1000 speakers impressed me again by handling everything I threw at it. From movies to music,and pumping up the volume to the max,they passed every test with flying colors.Remember the sony ss-b1000 are bookshelf speakers and don't have rear wall mounting brackets. You would have to modify a bracket,get speaker stands,or simply put them on your bookshelf.Read full review
One of my husbands brand new speakers like this fell and ruined the sound. I was thrilled to find this replacement for him as he is very into great quality sound for his music. He is very happy with this speaker. Replaced the front with the front of the new speaker and now this replacement looks and acts like new! Shipped quickly and packaged great! Very reasonably priced as well.

I had 2 of these speakers I found at Goodwill, really liked the sound, so I bought 2 more from a really great E-bay seller. I am a Singer/Guitarist, playing 3 nights every weekend in the Basque Restaurant in San Juan Bautista. I previously had a hard time getting decent sound reproduction as I could only place speakers on one side of the restaurant which is long and narrow. Using my stereo (supposedly a no-no) amp with 1 of these speakers on each end of the bar with the channel B speakers (right and left) reversed and pointing front and rear (one as my monitor), and the channel A speakers placed in between them (8 feet apart) and pointing in at about 20 degrees, I now have an excellent sound spread and a perfect monitor (I sit at one end of the bar). All this for a total cost of $80.00 for the four bookshelf speakers, and a used $45.00 Audio Source Amp 100. The dining area is 50X20 and seats about 60 people. With the volume set at 11:00, the sound is more than adequate for background music.Read full review
