Great Speakers. I don't think I have heard a speaker set sound this good at this price range. I had originally purchased the cn-5000, but found it to be too large for my taste. With this set we got a much smaller center, that as far as my wife and I can tell, has equal sound. I highly recommend this product to anyone looking for big sound in a small package.

These sound great for the price, just as long as you don't push them very hard. Rears start to distort during louder scenes at about 60% max volume, which isn't that loud with the home theater set-up I have them connected to. Center channel is quite adequate for a basic system, and has yet to distort.
Great if you don't need a very loud system, especially a dorm room, kids room or apartment.

Comments about Sony SS-CR3000 Home Theater Speaker System:
I ordered these speakers to complete my 7.1 surround sound system, using the small speakers as high fronts. Sony isn't known for audiophile speaker quality, but its my opinion they are vastly underrated in their sound quality. They arrived a day early from B&H and were in great condition, good packaging. The speakers are in a wooden box, not plastic like a HTiB speaker system. Excellent build quality. The sound is incredibly crisp and warm. While not ideal for a 3.1 set up, these things fit the bill perfectly. Best price on the Internet is right here from B&H, even beating out [*]. Ships with thin speaker wire that is only suitable until you get a better gauge. I recommend 14 gauge wire. All in all, great speakers, incredible price.

Comments about Sony SS-CR3000 Home Theater Speaker System:
With my other Sony SS-B3000 speakers, it works great. I only wish I could have purchased the SS-CR3000 Center Channel Speaker by itself as that was all I really needed to complete my TV stereo sound system. Before I found this speaker system, I looked, for a long time, for a compatible center channel speaker to go with my current speakers which, by the way, are great speakers by themselves and I didn't want to replace them. This is the only center channel speaker I found to be completely compatible with them.As too B&H, I have purchased from them before and have found them to be a quality company to do business with.

I have to admit I was a bit skeptical about these. The good customer reviews thru out the web and the price convinced me to bite on them. I am not disappointed. These impressed me very much. They deliver crisp clear sound and they can handle the wattage very well.(I have put them to the test) I matched them up with a pair of F5000s and an old STR-DG910 and old WM40 sub. WOW! it's great. Better than the Infinity group I had before.

I have these speakers paired with a Sony STR-DH510 Home Theater Receiver. The sound quality is great. They are a relatively small speaker for being able to handle 100 watts continuously. Good construction and quality at a low price. There is a screw or nail bracket on the back for easy installation to the wall.
