Sony SS-B3000 Bookshelf Speakers with 8" Woofer (Pair)

Great speakers for the price - A little Big but a nice value.I'm using them with a Onkyo 8255 Rec. for a really nice sound for under 300.00.

I replaced a pair of old scotts with the sony ssb3000 speakers for my front speakers in my surround system. Not the Center speaker but the front right and left. The sound is clear, midtones sound good. I really liked my Scotts but they were just too large and these fit into our decor quite well.

First let me say that I am not a fan of Sony. Their products have been hit or miss with me (mostly miss). However, these speakers have been a real treat. They provide a nice full range sound, with crisp highs and deep lows. They handle a decent amount of power so you can push them pretty hard. I bought a Sony STR-DG720 to push them and the combo is great for my home theater. Are they the most awesome speakers ever made? No. Are they the best home theater speakers you can buy for under $100 a pair? Probably.

It was time to replace our twenty-year-old Advent bookshelf speakers. Twenty years later, with a family, we're on more of a budget these days. These speakers are large bookshelf speakers, 9"x21", but with the basic black faux wood, they are more attractive than we expected. More importantly, they sound great, at least as good as the Advents did, even in their heyday.

I simply wanted to receive better sound from my Mitsubishi DLP HDTV. (These sets provide excellent video with not so great audio.) I paired the Sony SS-B3000 speakers with an equally inexpensive Sherwood receiver and made my humble wish come true.
