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.

Very good speakers

Reviewed By: Masashi Nogawa - Tucson, AZ

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.

Very nice speakers

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.
You cant go wrong with these speakers plain and simple.

well defined...

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

Wow! Great Sound for a great price

Ive only used these speakers for a few days but they sound awesome for surround sound and CDs. The bass could be a bit fuller and does benefit from a subwoofer, but they have very clear sound. Vanns price and delivery were top notch, and the price was unbeatable.

great speakers

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.

Outstanding value for this price

The speakers are really outstanding for this price in regards of sound and mechanical quality. Only the cheap speaker cables shouldnt be used and replaced with a real speaker cable.

lotta speaker for a little price........

the sony ss-f5000p floor speakers are a great deal.the black cabinet and matching grill hide some powerful speakers. I never liked small speakers, I felt they didnt have the bass i wanted. Running these babys for my surrounds really adds oomph to my system. I use the sony ssmf750h for my mains, An rca center channel speaker,A klh 100 watt sub with a 500 watt 5.1 system. The sound will blow the doors off. Crank it up and enjoy. The new sony ss-f5000p speakers are a must have for the price.

Great speakers for a great price

Reviewed By: Rusty Logan - Laurel, MT

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!
