Pros & Cons
Pros
It all depends on your definition of audiophile sound. My end-game spacious soundstage but warm. I like how voices sound, not too bassy or boxy.
Quit stalling and buy them already. Don't be afraid to gamble on used or open box. Yes, they are worth the money, i highly recommend!
I am using bluesound node 2i going to topping d90 akm4499 dac, then it goes to mcintosh ma252. Easy to setup and placement could be anywhere.
Rockville rock shaker 8 sub is a wide-range subwoofer. We reduce bass output from the amp's tone control, allowing the sub to make up the difference. This benefit renders the sony sub perfect for music.
The combination of a low and high tweeter is special and the mids-highs are really good. Midrange is good, high frequency is clear. Although the bass is deeper, it isn't as punchy.
Cons
The easiest way to describe these speakers is that they lack balls. There is no bass and the highs are way over the top. Any elac speaker is better.
At least amazon is willing to pay the repackaging price. This is shady in my opinion to sell it as new.
Highlights
Quality
These speakers are very good and produce high quality sound
The sound the size quality, very, very nice speaker.
If you could build your own better cabinets, properly braced and damped, you would wind up with a speaker twice as good as it is.
The problem is that the cabinets are made of a very cheap fiberboard--and of course quality cabinet construction is what drives... Read More
Price
A really good speaker for a great price when on sale.
These are great speakers for the price.
You might consider investing in speaker stands if you buy these speakers, which are only about $50 a pair,.
I paid much lower price just 6 months ago, $129 pair!
Shipping
I had to get another shipped because i did not see the word "single", as most the pictures show two speakers.
Packaging/appearance
I bought open box and they look and sound mint.
These were packaged as thou they were brand new.
Competitiveness
Compared to xt60 (those sound a little better with a little less info in mids) and monitors 50 & 60 series 2)
Sony's held quite well against the klipsch's.
I'm not even going to try to compete with the scores of reviews on youtube.
Although the klipsch's were much better than the sony's, but not $500 difference.
