Item Description:
Introducing a speaker series versatile enough to deliver an unprecedented and real audio experience, and with a soundstage so expansive you can feel the energy and passion of the original performance, all while staying in harmony with your living spaces.

High-Resolution Audio for uncompromising sound

Take your digital music collection to another level with High-Resolution Audio. By capturing music at a higher rate than CD, increasing both audio samples per second and the bitrate accuracy of each sample, High-Resolution Audio offers a near-perfect capture of an artist's music. Savor every breath and subtle movement for a truly emotional experience.

3-way, 3-driver speakers for enhanced clarity

Hear natural depth and total clarity in all your audio. The 3-driver bookshelf speakers include a rigid 5.12 in MRC woofer for dynamic bass, along with a 0.98 in tweeter and 0.75 in super-tweeter designed to reproduce High-Resolution Audio tracks. Supported by a compact footprint and up to 100 W input power handling, these speakers truly are the perfect match for any room.

Super tweeters expand your soundstage

Feel your favorite music unfold throughout the room with precision and balance. These speakers include new super tweeters with wide directionality. High-frequency notes are reproduced precisely across an expansive soundstage - you can even sense the positioning of instruments - for an experience that's close to being there.

High precision tweeter for faithful sound

Hear vocals that perfectly reproduce the energy and passion of the singer. The 0.98 in soft dome main tweeter features polyester fiber for a more faithful, authentic sound. Precise acoustic tuning, using advanced sound-absorbing felt, eliminates rear sound pressure from the tweeters to ensure natural-sounding vocals.

5.12 in Woofer boosts low end frequencies

This speaker system incorporates a newly developed 5.12 in woofer for deep, stable bass. Utilizing a foamed mica-cellular diaphragm, it produces both powerful bass and the finer detail required for clear vocals and dialog in the mid-range.

Enhanced sound pressure with reduced weight

Low sound pressure is a common weakness of small-sized tweeters and can result in unbalanced sound. These speakers include tweeters with high sound pressure, achieved through a variety of weight reduction techniques, including the integration of a more powerful magnetic circuit and a lighter CCAW (copper-clad aluminum wire) in the voice coil.

Tapered faceplate edges keep sound clear

Eliminating unnecessary noise from the baffle board and cabinet is essential for a high quality performance. With slightly tapered faceplate edges, edge diffraction is suppressed for a clear and natural soundstage.

Rich acoustics with strong cabinet design

The ported, all-wood enclosures are built for resonant acoustics. Unwanted vibrations are dampened and absorbed, thanks to a rigid construction which includes interior joints strengthened with a solid wooden structure. Our designers also optimized the type and layout of interior sound absorbing material to control, and precisely tune, cabinet resonant vibration.

Mica Reinforced Cellular cone for undistorted audio

The perfect partner for today’s bass-driven music. Many speakers use paper cones that flex and deteriorate over time, leading to a more distorted sound. Mica Reinforced Cellular (MRC) fiber woofers are rigid, holding their shape even when moving at high pressure and speed, so you can drive the bass harder without compromising audio quality.

Wooden finish for style and substance

This speaker has a smart black finish that blends with most contemporary interiors. The wood veneer also retains its shape well, ensuring that the sound won’t be influenced by changes in temperature and humidity.

High quality structure for clear music playback

These speakers are built on sound foundations. A strong, ported enclosure allows for rich, resonant acoustics. The bass reflex duct, positioned at the rear of the speaker, suppresses unwanted noise and improves low-frequency sound reproduction.

Premium components, premium sound

Poor connections can have a significant impact on overall sound quality. That's why these speakers use only premium components: air-core inductors in the tweeters, a silicon steel plate in the woofer, the thickest possible winding materials, and high quality film condensers. Hear and enjoy every nuance of High-Resolution Audio in the detail it deserves.

Compact bookshelf design for small spaces

These small, bookshelf speakers are very compact and space-efficient for easy installation in tight spots. Despite their compact size, they offer a wide frequency response, right down to 53 Hz, making them an ideal choice when you don’t want to sacrifice sound quality for space.

I wanted speakers that have bass, yet the neighbors don't hear them. It just sounds clean and crisp. Movies, music award shows and singing reality shows sound so much better than the tv speakers by themselves. Thank you Sony for the quality products and service that you provide. Sony only.

I was in need of new speakers because my old bookshelves have Foam Surround rot.I didn't want the hassle of searching for new woofers because they are old so time for an upgrade. these speakers were compatible in size and specs with my old ones and are highly reviewed on the net, so I figured I'll get that much shot. I'm glad I did! they sound rich and full-bodied. I'm hearing details in my music I've never heard before! it is an excellent speaker!

These replaced my 50 year old speakers and I'm enjoying a newfound passion for my thousands of cds. I have to turn down the bass and treble knobs on my 50 year old Sherwood receiver, so I can't relate to those who say they need a subwoofer to get a decent sound. I assume it's a generational thing with younger folk being accustomed to the THUMP(by younger I mean under 45). I can hear the individual instruments and other sound elements distinctly like never before. I highly recommend these speakers!

I purchased a set in September 2022 and was so pleasantly surprised at the performance. They exceed my expectations, especially at the price point. I have high end floor standing speakers for times when I want the best possible experience but these were purchased for my "every day" use with a home entertainment system. I also have a small 8" powered subwoofer connected as recommended by many knowledgeable reviewers. The overall performance is stunning to me. I can heartily recommend these speakers to anyone looking for terrific performance at an affordable price point.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend
