Product description

Sony SSB-1000 Bookshelf Speakers

Features

Powerful audio: Enjoy your favorite music in any room of the house with Sony’s SS-B1000 performance bookshelf speakers. With 120 watts of power and an advanced woofer and tweeter design, these speakers deliver high resolution audio. You’ll hear the music just as it was recorded.

Woofer: The advanced, 5-1/4" H.O.P. cone woofer gives you the bass you want.

Tweeter: Low notes are nothing without the high and mid-range notes to balance them out. The 1" Nano Fine® balanced dome tweeter ensures quality sound.

Size: At just 10 inches high and weighing only 6.6 lbs. each, these speakers are small enough to fit almost anywhere without becoming an eyesore.

Great Buy!

For the price it would be difficult to find a better pair of bookshelf speakers. I also considered a pair of Polk M10's. After listening to both side by side, I thought that the Sony's sounded just as good as, if not better than the polks! Despite their small size the sound quality and range is very good. The highs and mid-tones are very crisp and clean. Bass output is not bad for their size. It's clear, not muddy at all. To complete the package and improve the overall sound, I have these paired up with the Sony SA-W2500 10' sub. This combination sounds pretty good together.
The one thing that Sony could have done to improve the design would be to attach a bracket on the back for wall mounting. Other than that, it's a great little speaker. I defiantly recommend them.

Great sound quality from such a small speaker. For such a small speaker, it really packs a punch. Worth the money to buy this speaker.
