I got a new TV and a new receiver and quickly realized that my old RCA satellite speakers weren't going to cut it any more.
So I ordered a Klipsch C-1 Synergy center channel and decided to go with these Sony SS-B1000 as the front left and right speakers based on all of the great reviews here on Amazon. They came quickly (as always) and I got them out of the package and set up right away.
I have to say, I'm absolutely blown away. I can't believe how great they sound for the price that they cost. I was expecting them to sound better than my old satellite speakers (which didn't have any tweeters, only paper cones) but I had no idea how awesome these would sound.
I did some tweaking to the settings on the receiver and then mounted the speakers to some stands and got them set up where I wanted them, and I have to say that my sound tests are all coming back great. I have a few movies that I watch to see what speakers sound like, and each one of them has sounded simply amazing with the Sony SS-B1000.
Do they compare to a $700 set of Klipsch speakers?? Probably not...but for someone on a budget who is looking to improve the sound of an old set of speakers or looking to add a receiver to a TV, I really think you can't go wrong with these Sony SS-B1000. They are a spectacular value!!!
