Outstanding Floorstanding Speakers
Each of these floorstanding speakers include 3 drivers, providing a terrific range of sound while remaining less than 10 inches wide. The 3-way speakers include a 1-inch balanced dome tweeter, a 3.25-inch midrange driver and an 8-inch bass driver. They can handle 150 watts of power and have a frequency range of 45 Hz - 50 kHz, presenting you with clean, powerful sound. The speakers are magnetically shielded, allowing placement right next to your television set without worry about interference. The black finish fits well with most decor, and speaker cables are provided so you can hook up these speakers as soon as you take them out of the box.
H.O.P. To It
The 8" bass drivers and 3.25" midrange drivers in these speakers feature improved H.O.P. cones to bring you overall sound improvement. H.O.P. stands for Sony's exclusive Highly Oriented Polyolefine, which is a speaker cone material of extraordinary strength. It's up to 30 times more rigid, per unit weight, than polypropylene. This material delivers sound with lower distortion and extraordinary transient response when compared to more traditional materials. So get some extra H.O.P. out of your music with these speakers.
One Fine Tweeter
Of course the woofers and midrange drivers aren't the only parts of these speakers to get special attention. The tweeters were built with their own Nano-Fine technology to improve sound delivery. Conventional material suffers from high internal loss and low resistance to both heat and humidity. The Nano-Fine material gives you much lower internal loss, and high resistance to both heat and humidity. The result is crisper sound at the high end, adding to your overall sound experience.

I was in search of a new pair of speakers to replace my old Advent Prodigy Tower II set which had dry-rotted bass foam causing distortion. I could have replaced the bass speakers, but I was looking at well over $100 to do that so I looked around for some new speakers. After taking a few days to look at local stores and online, I couldnt find anything in a nice tower model -my preference over sub-woofers and satellites due to my setup- for less than $200. In my search, I had come across the SONY SSF series of speakers and was leaning towards the 6000s until I looked further into the specs. The SSF-6000 speakers have only 6.5 bass speakers instead of one 8 and one reviewer had remarked that he wish he had gone with the 5000s because of the need for an extra sub-woofer to get a nice deep bass sound. So I decided to save some cash and go with the 5000 series and I couldnt be happier. My old Advents only had one 8 bass and a tweeter, so I added a whole new spectrum with the 3.5 midrange. I have a 100 wattt SONY control amp and I havent had these speakers over 5 yet. That shakes the walls! Having only one good ear, I am far from an audiophile snob, but I know what I like and deep, rich bass with clear highs is my preference. These speakers satisfy both and I would highly recommend them to anyone on a budget or otherwise. Best speakers for the $, hands down!

I am in the beginning stages of building a home theater and I was looking for front speakers that were low cost and decent sounding. As I do not have the resources to purchase high-end equipment, I was immediately drawn to Sony. Sony has a reputation of quality products. Therefore, that is where I began and ended my search. Sony offers several different models for front speakers SS-F700060005000. After looking at their individual specifications and reviews, it was clear the SS-F5000 speakers were more suited for my needs. The price was right, and the reviews were positive. So I bought them. I was not sure what to expect, in terms of performance, from these speakers. I was pleasantly surprised when I hooked them up to my Pioneer VSX-520-K receiver! Although my receiver is entry-level, the speakers sounded great! The sound is not audiophile quality but it is definitely better than the price would make you think. Overall, this product is a great value and I would recommend it to anyone beginning a home theater or for those with limited resources. You will not be disappointed!

Seriously, for the money you cant beat them. They are not my Klipsch by anymeans, but I also didnt expect them to be considering the price. These are surprising bright but not harsh. Low end was better than I thought it would be but I still prefer them with a sub. Matched these with a 12 sony sub and a Sherwood stereo receiver. All in all I put the pkg together for $350 and I thought that was pretty good value.

I bought these to replace some smaller surround speakers. After several years of using tiny satellite speakers for all 5 channels of surround, I upgraded my tuner and attached these speakers as the front units, running a tuner pushing 110w per channel. They sound great...very full, good bass and high end, but doesnt overwhelm the center channel. Also, just the right height to keep the sound at sitting-ear level.

Speakers affect your sound quality more than anything else. Its easy to make great-sounding, low distorting speakers IF you let them be big.
Rather than paying a premium for the engineering of great bookshelf speakers, go with plain old brute force size!
Thats the best kept secret - go with inexpensive but huge speakers. These Sony SS-F5000 are ridiculously low per pair and because of their size, they sound fantastic - full, crisp, and with very low distortion. I recommend these to anyone. If you have a small apartment - MAKE room for them. Put stuff on top, whatever. You cant have everything in a speaker - go with great sound, low cost and accept the big size. Its really a no-brainer.

Ive pumped rock, rap, classical, jazz, hip hop, and many other types of music and I have yet to hear any flaw in reproduction! Works great with movies as well, and gaming, great bass and very crisp treble. My only complaint is that Sony sends 24 gauge speaker wires with it! But I use all my own cables, so I didnt have problems with it.

I bought these to use as the front speakers in my 5.1 home theater set-up, which I also use for music. What a steal! These speakers replaced a 13 year old pair of Kenwood 12 floors I had, and they are taking over perfectly. Much crisper than my old speakers, though with less of a low end as to be expected, and acceptable as I have a subwoofer now The sound is shockingly good on these speakers. The range is good, on both movies and music. I pt them through their paces with a blu-ray movie, and some different musics classical, classic rock, hip-hop, and pop and everything sounded good. I could tell they werent the most high-end of speakers, but most people would never notice. I would recommend these to anyone looking for great value. They fit well in any low to mid level home theater, or as stereo speakers although a subwoofer would help complete the sound for stereo use.

I purchased a pair of SS-F5000 speakers to replace a beat-up pair of Sony MF-515s as the rear speakers in my home theater. The MF-515s were very similar to Sonys current SS-F7000 speakers. In other words, just like these, but with a second 8-inch woofer.
I was happy with the sound of the old ones, but I wanted something smaller and cleaner-looking. I chose the SS-F5000 because they are eight inches shorter than the MF-515s, and very reasonably priced for a pair. Plus I liked how the grill covered the entire front of the speaker, for a nice clean look. I have another pair of MF-515s as my front speakers, so I decided I wanted to choose from the same brand, to try and keep the acoustics consistent.
Ive been very pleased with these new ones. I cant tell any difference in the sound quality versus the bigger pair. And I love how much more hidden they are in my living room. Im almost certainly going to get a second pair to replace my current front speakers. Big thumbs up!

My old front speakers were bookshelfs and they did pretty good but I wanted a fuller sound to go with my Blu-Ray player. I found these Sonys on Vanns website and was very impressed with the price and customer reviews. Shipping was free which is awesome!, and they arrived quickly. The sound from these speakers is great!!! The mids and highs are crisp and the woofers put out some impressive bass. Blu-Ray movies sound incredible coming out of these speakers.

These speakers were purchased to replace a pair of 27 year old Fisher speakers. I could not be more pleased with their performance. They produce excellent sound quality throughout the entire range of volume. They are an outstanding value in their price range and are another example of Sonys standard for high quality products. I would recommend them without hesitation.

These Sony speakers are the best I have owned for what little they cost. Dont be fooled though, these speakers are tall and slim measuring around three feet by less than one foot. They stand great on hardwood and thin carpet, but might not do so well on thick carpet. The sound is incredible for the price, it has enough bass and sound to blast any small living room, even without a sub. It has great range, and is capable of playing todays top of the line surround sound games, tv, or blue-ray dvds. They look good, they sound great, and are priced great. Afterall, your front speakers are the most important in your surround sound system.

These Sony speakers were a replacement for my 150 watt Pioneer speakers that were over 22 years old. So far, I have played all types of music through them, for hours and hours. The sound and range of these speakers is excellent. Very sharp, clear, precise. They may be only a basic 3-way speaker set but they sound like a larger, more upgraded unit. Also, they are very nice quality speakers and I like too, that they are somewhat smaller than the over-sized Pioneer speakers they replaced. Anyone looking for a quality speaker, 150 watts, would be very pleased with these Sonys and their price. I based my purchasing decision on both customer reviews and price. I am very pleased with my decision. Regarding Vanns, my order was promptly processed and within a few days, my new Sony speakers arrived in a large sturdy box, in excellent condition, and within minutes, I had them set up. Simple!

This item was shipped to me in only 3 days which was exceptionally quick. The speakers replaced an older pair and they connected to my stereo system quite easily. As a woman, I dont know the technical terms but these speakers are wonderful. They have a nice crisp, clear sound that fills the room which I love. Quite an improvement over the other ones. Any one would be pleased with the sound quality and the ease of connecting. I purchased these speakers because of the Sony name and the great price. I feel I made an excellent choice of the speakers and of purchasing them from Vanns.

My parents were reluctant to part with their 1986 Cerwin Vegas that they paid out the nose for back in the day, but I have to say these speakers sound much better - they fill the room on low volume. Striking clarity, perhaps not enough bass response for some, but I was pretty impressed with the sensitivity of the speakers to all ranges. These speakers are a great buy.

While Sony is not exactly well known for speakers, the SS-F5000s prove to be a pleasant surprise and exception. I pulled some mid-grade equipment out of storage Onkyo integrated 100wpc amp, marantz CD, Sansui tuner and wanted a bit more than my BIC Venturis as front speakers without spending any real money. I also wanted to do without my oversized sub if possible, due to space limitations. After a day or two on the net researching, I went for these SONYs on sale. All the positive reviews were right. Surprising bass , clear mids and tweeters, especially when arranged at ear level. Solid, heavy construction and attractive with or without the grill. Honestly more than I expected for anywhere near this price. Sound great, both with my 2 channel stereo setup and big screen TV. I stopped spending the big bucks on audio twenty years ago. These are not on a par with my old Dahlquist DQ10s, or magnaplanars or Klipschorns, but offer far more value, buck for buck, and thats where Im at these days. The wire connections are a bit tight and uncomfortable, and I immediately replaced the little plastic feet, but thats it for negatives. I would be surprised if you can find any more value for less than twice this price.

I was a bit skeptical when I first saw the Sony speakers advertised. The usual rule is that Americans make the best speakers while the Japanese make everything else in audio affordable and reliable.
A Google search found your company as a retailer. Given the cost consideration and the great write-up, I decided to give them a try. Actually I could not believe Sonys low price for tower speakers.
When they arrived and I set them up, I was amazed. The highs were crisp and clear and the bass strong and right up front. Build quality was excellent.
All in all a great deal. Appreciate your good service as well.

This set of speakers is very good balance of its performance and price. SONY can charge us more for this grade of speakers -p
In my home theater system, it plays very fine classical music from CD, it sounds spectacular movie from DVDBD.
I compared this one with SONYs higher grade ones SS-F6000 or SS-F7000. Because I found that differences are mostly lower frequency capability and I use it with Sub-Woofer, I decided to take SS-F5000. And I believe my decision is right.

These speakers sound pretty good. They kick out a fair amount of bass, the midrange is unbelievable, I can hear sounds that I hadnt heard from CDs that I listen to all the time. I use a 10 band equalizer which I recamend because in some rooms the tones may need some adjustments, like for instants, in my room I have a lot of wanescotting on the walls and as a rule of thumb you need to have the trebble at a much higher level when a room has a lot of wood suroundings. Also I recamend the higgher quality speaker cables.

These speakers are incredibly intricate with a wide plane of sounds. Once i popped the box open i started off by playing some drum n bass by diesel boy, and to my total satisfaction, i could hear small high-range sounds that i hadnt even noticed before. That is from a song im quite familiar with. The bass kicks are felt in the chest, and they definitely hit when the powerhouse tell them to. So i didnt notice any sort of bass-lag. Ive got a sony reciever coming soon which will certainly better my experience, but already from playing them through a bookshelf system an mx-gt80 that would cut out its circuitboard every 5 seconds they dominated my expectation for the price. I am a major home entertainment buff, and i would still recommend these speakers to all types of users, as long as you can appreciate how classy they look

I just picked up four of these great speakers from Vanns to use as my main channels and surrounds for my new Onkyo TX-SR605. I upgraded from a Yamaha home theater in a box composed of satelites and two old KLH floor speakers that were being used as my mains. I kept the Yamaha subwoofer hooked up to the system to give even lower lows, but these speakers almost do not need it - they kick pretty hard for only having 8 inch woofers plus, they look great while doing it. Having full band speakers all around really improves the home theater experience and really increased the deep, rumbling bass in action sequences while still maintaining clarity in the highs. Ill eventually upgrade my rear surrounds to either the SSB3000 essentially the bookshelf version of these speakers - or the SSB1000 and my center channel to the matching Sony center channel as well in order to maintain the sound produced by these great speakers. You cant beat them for the price... they deffinately wont rumble you out of the house like a monster pair of Deffinitve speakers, but for the price, they cant be beat! THANKS VANNS!

For the price you cant beat this pair of Sony floor speakers. I use them as my front surround speakers. They sound great. Brings the action in movies to a whole new level. The low end is not bad using the 8 inch speaker. I recommend using a sub for the real low end. Also, use at least 16 gage speaker wire.
I was going to pay more for another brand but now Im glad I didnt. I am very happy. Sony rocks.
