Sony SS-F6000 Floor-Standing 4-Way Speakers

Just purchased these and I have to say, probably the best speakers you can buy for the money. I've had numerous speakers throughout the years, and for $150 a pair, these things sound unbelievable. I have never written a review for a product I bought from Amazon, but I really felt that these deserved it. Don't expect these to perform as well as $1000 speakers, but compared to $400-$500 speakers, these are incredible.

I recently moved into a small house and decided to replace my 35 year old DFS speakers which were too big for my living room anyway. Being on a bit of a budget heading into the winter months I shopped for lower priced speakers that would see me through for six months or so. After reading the other reviews on Amazon, I decided to take a chance on these Sonys. Looks wise they are what you see in the photos, simulated ebony finished wood grain on the sides and top and a black cloth grill. The speakers are 8.5 inches wide and 10 inches deep and stand 38 inches tall. I hooked them up to my receiver and found a music CD and I was instantly impressed with the bass. It is deep and powerful perhaps a bit too strong, but that is a matter of taste. They seem to be pretty even but there is a definite peak in the response curve in the mid low bass but the bass response carries quite low. I first placed them in the corners of my living room and was pleased with the overall response for m... Read more

First, if you are an "audiophile" these speakers are not for you. Go spend a couple of grand for "name" speakers, renew your subscription to the "New Yorker", and have a $7.00 latte at Star$$$. But if you love music and want speakers that will deliver rather than impress those who live by designer labels, these are the speakers you want. I bought these about three months ago--and love the heck out of them. My tastes in music are eclectic running from Mozart to Mingus to MC5-- everything in between. Since these speakers arrived, I've played the whole musical spectrum through them and have been pleased beyond words with the sound. Personally, I might be tone deaf, but I didn't find the bass to be overbearing at all, but then I suppose it's all a matter of personal taste. And you can always adjust the bass setting (which I do for each recording I play anyway) on your amp. My mother had this saying about snobbery, "If you walk around with your nose in the air, you never see the do... Read more

For the price, these speakers are excellent for a start up surround sound as mine is. They are big in size and the sound is as good as I had expected.

JUST THE SOUND I WAS LOOKING FOR! I had bookshelf speakers hooked up to a home DJ system to include a 22 YO receiver, equalizer and a mixer w/it's own EQ. The Sonys have sharp, clear highs and rich, deep bass! The REAL quality of a speaker system is how they sound real low, which is how I have to keep them in my community because of their power!!! CAN'T BEAT THE FREE SHIPPING, EITHER!!!
