Outstanding Floorstanding Speakers
Sold as a pair, each of these floorstanding speakers include 4 drivers, providing a terrific range of sound while remaining less than 9 inches wide. The 3-way speakers include a 1-inch balanced dome tweeter, a 3.25-inch midrange driver, a 8-inch enhanced H.O.P. cone mid woofer and a 8-inch mica reinforced woofer. They can handle 200 watts of power and have a frequency range of 35 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 ash 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" mid woofer 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 had purchased SS-F6000 from Vanns last year and when I saw these SS-F7000s in the outlet store I had to have them, but I was worried that they woudn't sound any better than the ones I already had but I bought them anyway. Boy am I glad I did, they sound great and are louder and deeper then the 6000s. it was a good buy..

I am impressed with these tower speakers. They pack big sound from such small woofers, and provide a great range of clarity, from lows to highs. The sound is not, of the same quality as the high-end specialty speakers, or the great ones of the 70s, but I am truly satisfied with the sound they provide, as a pair. Ive paired them with a pair of KLH 3 way, pair of DLK Old School 3 way, and a Sony SA-W3000 subwooferalso recommend. I have great surround sound via a late 80s model stereo receiver. The only hangup is the extremely fragile speaker grilles. They ae made of extremely fragile, non-pliable, non-reinforced plastic, which was received broken, either by original packing storage, or shipping. Vanns customer service dept, was very respondent, and re-ordered the matching grilles, and had them shipped to me. I know you get what you pay for, but with a product that exceeded my expectations, paired with a company that provides great service, I have to give an overall rating of 5.

You cant go wrong if you are considering these speakers, especially if you already have a sub and two rears. You will receive crisp HIs and clean MIDs and a sub will surely compliment the LOWs. The speakers arrived on time and were well packaged. I was expecting some damage becasue they are large and heavy but to my surprise all was well. If you are looking for a good quality set of speakers around the $180 range, go for it. If not, expect to pay at least 50-100 dollars more per speaker depending on the brand name to get a slightly better sound. Dont forget, these speakers are sold as a pair. Im quite satisfied and glad I made the purchase.

These speakers are awesome! I compared these speakers in a retail store before buying them online, to many different high end floor speakers, and I have to say they sound just as good or in some cases better than some that cost double or even triple what these cost! Sure the Klipschs have a little more bass and all around power but they are also gonna cost you around $1000 or more for a pair. I also have the Sony SS-CN5000 center channel speaker which is also OUTSTANDING and couldnt be happier with the front half of my surround system. The highs are very crisp, the mid range is loud and does not distort at high volume and the bass is very deep. I like a lot of bass and I think I would be ok with these even without a sub but these towers along with a sub are just awesome.
Some of the other reviews on these speakers, people are saying that they dont look that impressive and I completely disagree. I think they look very sharp! Also they seem pretty heavy and solid. Ive had them for about 3 months now and I expect them to last for many years to come! Dont let the cheap price fool you, these are high end sounding speakers and I cannot say enough about them!!!

I have purchased these speakers about 3 weeks ago and I think that by now the breaking in period is done. I am very happy with my purchase and I will tell you why. First of all you cant find better speakers for the money I paid for them got them on sale also. Secondly the sound quality is very good. There is one thing that is not really meeting my expectations and that is the quality of the high frequency sounds. At high volume they become a little confusing they are getting mixed with the mid frequencies too much and at low volume they are not as crisp as I would want them to be. The bass however is deep and the mid sounds are very good too. Luckily I use a Pioneer VSX 1121 to power the speakers so I was able to tweak the frequencies to a point where I am very happy with the results. In what Vanns is concerned I have to say that they are doing a great job in trying to keep their customers happy by offering good prices, quality products, very fast shipping and a very good customer service. I can speak about that because, in my case - as well as other situations I read about, the speakers arrived with both grilles broken. Everything was resolved over the phone, they ordered 2 new grills from Sony and I got them in far less time than what they had told me. So thank you Vanns and keep up the good work!

I purchased the Sony SSF7000 directly through the clearence outlet at Vanns. I read a lot of reviews before buying this product. It is better than I expected for the price. Sony is not the top of my list when it comes to audio products, so I am in no way biast or partial to the brand.
I must admit these speakers sound great for the price. I have them in a 15x16 room that is open to our dining room and kitchen and they fill the room quite nicely. The dual 8 woofers deliver respectable bass. The highs are also very adequate. They are, however, very power hungry. I have to turn my reciever up quite a bit more to get the same volume as I did with my previous floorstanding speakers. I also notice there are some sweet spots in the room, but with a couple moderate location adjustments I was able to overcome that for the most part. The speaker wire that comes with them is a complete joke so you will definitely need to buy some 16 or better. Overall I would recommend the speakers and you cant be upset with this purchase for the money. Great sound for under $200 per pair.
Now as far as Vanns goes, I was completely impressed with the friendliness and knowledge of the sales people, however I was not satisfied with the condition of the speakers when they arrived. Granted they were in the clearance section, but both grills were destroyed and one of the legs was broken. It appeared that some of it happened during shipping. The shipping did take the standard 5-7 business days which I cant lie was disappointing because I read so many reviews talking about how quickly it arrived. Overall I will shop at Vanns again and I will recommend them. I just might not recommend anyone buying from the clearance outlet unless you have the convenience of living near one of their stores and can go see the item first.

I bought these a few months back when they were $200 plus. Luckily, they arrived okay. I set them up in my secondary audio system. The sound of these speakers are not what you can expect from a speaker system costing $1000 or more. Compared to to my Realisic Minimus-7 speakers that I use in my home office, I would have to say that, the Minimus-7 speakers produce a much richer and bigger sound with bass you can actually hear. These SONY SS-F7000 were probably designed for nursing homes and pet kennels. I dont know what I was thinking when I put in my order for a pair of speakers costing less than 300 dollars. I was at least hoping they could put out a decent sound and yes, they are okay for low-fi listening, but will never do the trick for digital HiFi or even Home Theater. Adding a sub woofer in my opinion didnt help. You get what you pay for I should have known better.

I planned to buy the Polk Audio Monitor 60, but I decided to give this set a try. The Sony SS-F7000s have far exceeded my expectations. They deliver clean sound up top all the way down to around 60 hertz. The mid bass is very powerful and fairly tight. I now need to replace my subwoofer to pick up the lowend. They tend to be a bit power hungry. A good amplifier 75 watts RMS chan @ 8 ohms plus and large speaker wire is a must. Overall this floor speaker offers amazing value and sound highly recommended!

Ordered these speakers for my first home theater system. Its a fairly basic 5.1 system, with a mid range Pioneer AV receiver with Sony 12 Sub and Sony centerrear speakers. Front speakers were originally a pair of vintage EPI Microtower IIIs, but my wife didnt like the looks of these in the living room. Bought the Sonys based on other positive reviews and the overall cost, which was more in line w my budget than some of the other tower speakers. Very pleased with the sound which is better than my old speakers and my wife likes how they look. Only negative is that the plastic framework of both speaker grills was broken upon receipt. Noted several other reviews with this problem, so sounds like a design or packaging problem. Contacted Vanns and they ordered repacement grills from Sony. Indicated that it would take 2-4 weeks to get parts, which it did, but speakers were still usable and the broken frame was minimally noticeable.

I received the box in just over a week. It looked like it had been attacked by a shark. I reluctantly signed for them. After opening the box, I found that both of the screens on the speakers were destroyed along with one of the feet on one of the speakers. I called Vanns and the rep told me that I could return the speakers, which would cost me and take forever to ever see them again, or they could have some replacements shipped to me. He then said that I could call Sony myself and have them send them because it would be faster. I called Sony and they said no. So I called Vanns back and they put the order through, and that it would take 8 weeks. As far as the speakers, I put them up sans screens, and they are great looking. They are set up in my den, which is wide , tall and very open, and I have an older Sony receiver that puts out 80 watts per channel All in all, it sounds great. I havent noticed any of the boominess that others have complained about, but I figure they must be senior citizens or something. They also look the business and dont fail to impress anyone I show them off to. Overall, great purchase. I would recommend them to anyone looking for great floor-standing speakers. Vanns is good in my book.

Even though I am only sending them 90w per channel, they still are very loud and accurate. I have not heard many surround sound systems before but this is my first one I have owned for myself.
I am used to old school stereo systems with a stereo receiver and I wanted something large and full range like I was used to and these fit the picture well.
I am happy with shipping and price from vanns.com and will be ordering from them again when the time arises.

Very happy with the service and the product. for the cost you are not going to get any better.

Great product at an unbelievable price. Did a lot of research on different speakers. Looked at buying some other high end speakers that had a high end price to go with them. Read lots of reviews and these speakers had some good reviews. Hooked them up and the sound was great. Saw these speakers at a leading chain store but were a $100.00 more. Vanns definitely had the best price. Items arrived in a very timely manner with no problems. A good quality speaker at a great price. Definitely worth it. Will be purchasing from Vanns again.

My Husband just recently bought a $1000 Receiver for the nucleus of our HTS and wanted to get some good speakers to make the 130wchannel, 9.2channel Receiver earn its keep. The Sony speakers among them these F7000s were by far the best bang for your buck! They sound awesome together. I got the variety pack of B1000s, B3000s, F6000, F7000 and the NB5000 center speaker to rock my living room with life-like sound. That combined with the 3D Receiver, HDTV and Blu Ray...I thought I was in the middle of the action!!! Sure you can buy better but you really dont need to! They are kinda big but worth it.

I received these speakers about 2 weeks ago and so far Ive enjoyed them immensely. I paired it up with a sub-woofer from the same series as these speakers and I couldnt be happier.
Unfortunately when I received the speakers 2 of the legs were broken and there was a small chip on the bottom of one of them. I question why a company would send a heavy product with the plastic legs still attached. The damage does not seem to be done during shipping as the box was fine upon arrival.
I contacted Amazon who contacted Vanns and Vanns informed me that I should have replacement legs soon.
Aside from this shipping issue, these sound great and look fantastic in my room.

Well, I was looking for a nice pair of home theater speakers and expecting to pay a 200-400 for each speaker when I found this great deal on a pair of Sonys for under 200. Yeah I figured the quality would be bad but checked numerous reviews online and nothing negative to be found. So they are now hooked up to my Yamaha receiver and they sound great. I have no complaints about performance or quality. They look great and sound great so dont hold back on purchasing these at such a great price.

The purchase of these floor speakers was a stereo system upgrade for me. The bookshelf speakers were not cutting it . . .and even my tin ear could tell that there was too much distortion and very little base response. The difference was obvious as soon as the speakers were hooked up. I am not sure how I was able to endure listening to my CDs and iPod before getting these speakers, but I am sure that I will never be going back to shelf speakers again. There is a huge increase in overall sound clarity, little or no distortion even at higher volume levels and the base control on the receiveramp actually works for the very first time! One minor complaint The speakers use a plastic nut to connect the speaker wire. One of them arrived stripped on my speaker set. I was able to do a workaround . . .but was disappointed with this low quality component on an otherwise high quality product.

These Sony SS-F7000 speakers are a terrific value, but use care in placement. If placed too close to a wall or corner, the bass response actually mid-bass will be excessive. Take care not to use a bass boost or loudness control. Make sure that the output on your IPod is set to flat to avoid excessive bass. The speakers are focused, unidirectional and the difference in sound sitting and standing is noticeable. But when set up properly they do sound very good on folk, acoustic and orchestral music. The speakers do not have depth for rock n roll, separation air-space between instruments is lacking in rock mode, so the sound is relatively without depth. However, at this price they are the best available and rockers who want big bass will be very happy and will not need a subwoofer.

Its been decades since buying floor speakers in college, and those old ones finally started to literally fall apart. I am finally able to afford some quality speakers and was getting prepared to shell out a couple thousand dollars for a decent set to be used with my home theater setup. For a couple of weeks I only focused on the big names, like Klipsch, Polk Audio, Infinity, and so on, and usually would set my sort criteria from highest price down and then read reviews on the Internet. Then one day I tried doing searches for the cheapest floor speakers that received good reviews, and immediately was drawn to Sonys line. I have had sony boomboxes and radios in the past and frankly didnt think much of their sound quality. Ive seen the Sony home theater systems with the teeny tiny speakers that didnt seem to inspire the theater sound effect for my large living room. But when I started to research a little deeper in the Sony SS-series, I was surprised by the specs on the 5000, 6000, and 7000 speakers. Many of the reviews seemed to claim these were pretty good speakers, so I chose to buy a pair of their best...SS-F7000. I couldnt believe that the price listed was per PAIR and not per speaker, and the price was far below the cost a single quality namebrand speaker that I had been looking at for weeks. Upon hooking them up to my system and cranking the volume, I was very pleased with my purchase. Im not a music expert, and my hearing isnt as good as it was 20 years ago, so being able to differentiate the subtleties in tonal quality between speakers isnt as important to me. My gosh, I can purchase two more sets of these to use in my 7.1 surround system and STILL be cheaper than even ONE of the namebrand high-quality speakers. The power handling, bassmidhigh speaker responses, and general good looks had me convinced that Sony is probably trying to get a foothold in the market by offering these kinds of speakers at little profit for a couple of years before they raise their prices. I say to prospective buyers willing to shell out thousands for speakers...give these a try and you too may be well surprised as I was.

Good speakers. I bought these for a living room where a 5.1or 7.1 system was not an option. I wanted a full range speaker that didnt bust my budget. They have a fairly warm full sound and so far I am happy with them. I could always get a sub later but the bass is very livable. For the price I would say go for these speakers.

I have compared these SS-F7000 to my more expensive Boston Acoustics as well as Polk Audio, Infinity and other brands I considered to replace my aging tower speakers. These perform at least as well as the units that are 3 times the price and are only 2way speakers. The speakers that are 3way systems are 3 to 5 times the cost of these speakers, yet I cant find any difference in the sound to justify the more expensive brands! Of course the provided speaker wire is a joke! 18 or 16 gauge Monster cable or equivalent is mandatory for the 100 watts that my Yamaha amp pushes. I generally run my speakers at a comfortable listening 15 to 25 watts, but occasionally crank it to the full 100 watts for those classic rock anthems that really need it! Plus these work well as real front surround speakers as the complete home theater instead of the hyper small ht speakers that my wife really wanted.

Not only are they priced right they sound great and for most would pack enough bass punch as is. I highly reccomend these speakers for the money as I do not, no I know you cant beat the quality for thw money. Iooked for months in and out of stores and I am glad I took a gamble on these 100.

I knew these speakers would be tall, but they do fill a tall order how to get the most of all the range and especially the bass for use with our Korg M3 keyboard. The keyboard resides in a huge room 50 by 30 and we needed to get enough volume so we could hear it through the entire house when we entertained. These speakers met that challenge. They are also just light enough semi-portable so I can place them anywhere in the room for the desired sound effects depending on what we are composing. They are a great price although price was not a consideration. I listened to Klipsch and Boston as well and found that the Sonys were comparable in performance given the acoustics of the room.

I was hesitant in purchasing these speakers, namely because Sony is not a brand you think of when thinking speakers and secondly the low price suggested a low end speaker.

These speakers deliver full, rich sound and incredible bass. I would recommend these to anyone looking for a floor standing speaker. If you dont have room, make some. Youll be glad you did.

Wow. All I can say is that these Sony speakers are excellent, ESPECIALLY considering the price per pair compared to other tower speakers on the market. The bass from these babies is amazing. I dont know how important it is to get a sub now that I have these, I can already rattle the windows in my theater room no problem, and you can feel the bass in your chest cavity during movies, all part of the experience! I am very happy with the purchase and doubt if I personally could have noticed a difference if I would have spent triple the money on some of the other towers I looked at. Great value with the two 8 woofers per tower plus mids plus tweeters. These were everything I needed to upgrade my audio experience, and were well within my budget. I dont have to feel guilty about the price I paid.
One minor point, the speaker cablewire that is advertised as coming with these 2 speakers is a severly undersized in my opinion. Looks like something I would hook up an alarm clock speaker with, not my big bad towers, so plan on spending the little extra and buying good cable to use instead of what comes with them.

These replaced a 20 year old pair of gutsy RCA floorstanding speakers with 12 woofers- I was hesitant to think that 8 woofers would pack the same punch and Im pleased to say they certainly do. I will be soon fleshing out the system with a Sony sub and center channel for the full surround experience. Im definitely pleased with these as the main speakers! Grills are a bit flimsy and, unfortunately, 1 arrived broken, but Vanns did all they could to replace it through Sony as soon as they could

I already had the sony ss-f5000 for fronts and the ss-cn5000 for center along with two small book shelfs for backs. I wasnt unhappy with the set up but wantedmy speakers to all be from the same series and brand.
Well I bought these and placed these in the front and moved the f5000s to the back. Imedaitly the diference was apparent on movies and music.my wife who is an audio snob was very happy annd the kids were ccaptivatedby the difference.
I noticed who better they sound loud and even better how clearer they are at low volumes. I have a powerful sub that really blends well with the system and have made me a very happy customer!

I debated about ordering these speakers for over two weeks. I have a set of the sony 5000 towers but I wanted to move them to surround and try out the 7000s for fronts. I told myself when they came back in stock that I would order. When Vanns got them back in stock I did just that. When these arrived the first thing I noticed was these are pretty big towers. They are about 8 to 9 inches talller than my sony 5000s. They look nice too. As far as the sound goes, right out of the box they sound amazing. I have a large living room and the sound was big. They sound very similar to the 5000s but they do better filling a large room like the one I have. If you closed your eyes you could not tell where it was coming from. I tried out all sorts of music. Gospel, Jazz, rock, all did very well. I have never been much of a jazz fan but since it sounds so good on these speakers I have been listening to a lot of it lately. I got these for home theater and that is where these speakers really shine. Blu- Ray movies just come alive with the towers.
There is no need to spend 500 to 1k on a set of speakers when these sony speakers sound just as good. I dont care what the sony haters say, Sony still has it. Grab you a pair of these great sounding speakers and experience great sound at budget price.

While I am not dissapointed with the 7000s considering their cost, they are somewhat lacking in the mid and high freqs. Im not versed in the audiophile lingo, but to me, they sound somewhat flat or muddy in the highs and midrange. Only on excellent recordings do they meet what I would expect from a good speaker. Will rectify that with a good center channel. If I had paid $600 or more, I would be PO. I believe I paid approx.$200 for the PAIR at Vanns. The bass is phenomenal for 8 inchers as others have mentioned.

These speakers are truly a step up in music listening. I upgraded from a pair of Sony SS-B3000 speakers which I thought were the best for that price range but they cant compare with these. The clarity and sharpness of the sound is outstanding, with a rich, deep base. My real test was an Essential Classics CD, with E. Power Biggs playing Bach on the organ. Here you can pick out each tone and even hear the keyboard keys being pressed. No doubt about it, these are just about the finast speakers you will find any where. Vanns price was fair and free shipping also.

I recently purchased the SS-F7000 sony floor standing speakers as fronts to complete my 5.1 surround sound theatre system. I also have the onkyo receiver, ss-5000 sony floor standing speakers as rears, polk 5.25 center, klipsch 600 w powered sub along with better speaker wire than what comes with the speakers, oppo blu-ray player, and 50 panny plasma. I have to say that after reading all the reviews I could find, I am exceptionally happy with the F7000s. The sound is better than the 5000s and sound great with the center. Everything hooked up flawlessly for surround sound with no lags even though I have different brand components this was a concern of mine They are a bit taller than the 5000s but the tv on the elevated arm stand is taller, and my entire system is black. It all flows together quite well without being very obvious. The black cabinet looks very nice. I have a great cherry bedroom set of high quality and the speakers dont look cheesy or out of place next to my set. I am also glad I spent the little extra on the 7000s than the 6000s for the larger sub in it. They sound great with movies as well as music. I probably couldve gotten by without the extra sub but I like action movies and the way the sub shakes the floor. Very pure sound-although I dont consider myself a real audiophile, I have learned a lot through these reviews and am getting better at telling the difference bt my speakers and those of friends etc. Delivery was very prompt and the speakers were perfect inside of the packaging. Overall, I am totally happy with my purchase of these speakers without breaking the bank and with the care of delivery. I have ordered from Vanns before and have always had a great experience. I would strongly recommend them and Vanns.

I had been looking around for a pair of floor standing front speakers to replace the two bookshelfs part of an Onkyo HTIB I had been using for the last five years. I upgraded to the Onkyo 805 last year and needed to step it up a bit. I bought a Klipsch 12 subwoofer which is unbelievable but is way two strong for the bookshelfs. With two kids in college I wanted to save a buck so I decided to give these Sonys a try. WOW! Glad I took the dive. Great sound! The first thing I noticed was the imagining when listening to music. There is much more warmth and depth in all of the instrumentation. I am a musician and I didnt really notice how much I was actually missing. I cant wait until they break in so I can really put them through the paces. Great job Sony!! This was my third purchase from Vanns...outstanding prices, service and delivery! I will be a customer for many years.

I recived these speakers just one day ago and i am so impressed with the sound quality that is porjected from this amazing speaker combo. I have always loved sony and all my audio video is all sony except my surround speaker set and after hearing this pair i will be upgrading soon to all sony.I also have a JBL 12in 250watt powered sub and with the bass that these two towers put out just drounds out my sub so i dont even us it anymore. I cant beleve the crispness and quality and how clear the sound is, it is unbeatable in my book, and the fact that they are sold in a pair for an outstanding price. I have shopped around and u can not get a comparable speaker in any other brand for a price like this, and other brands are sold individualy,so all and all, great price for great quality speaker set. I recommend these to anyone looking crisp, clear, clean quality sound. Thanks to SONY products and VANNS.

Party people,.........are you ready?????? Audiophiles,..........are you ready?????? I DONT THINK SO!!!!!!!! This is the second review I had to write about these speakers because of the performance, let alone the true 4-way design, let alone the frequency range, let alone the price. If you never thought it was possible to own a high end piece of gear amplifier andor speakers Vanns and Sony have answered our requests and prayers for a decent pair of speakers that truly shine on audio and video applications, and the price is completely unheard of for this level of resolution! And for a pair,............good lord! The sound that comes out of these things is better than just about anything I have heard in the last ten years! People with the following brands, please dont take this personal, this is a new speaker! I didnt want to write a lengthy review, but I had to! Infinity, JBL, Definitive Tech, certain Martin Logans, THIEL, Wilson Audio, PSB, Krix, and a host of others, you have been thoroughly outclassed by a pair of speakers thats made by a company that has been ignored for way, way too long. Sony, Vanns you have a customer for life!!!!! I will continue to be a persnickety audiophile, but with much more respect for your products, and efforts. Happy listening

I got a pair of these speakers over a week ago, and they are excellent. Clear crisp highs, penetrating mids, boomy Lows, sleek design and not gawdy. I listened to them for a long time and there was no listener fatigue. That shows how well balanced they are.
They sound great at low and high volumes. No distortion cranked at over a 100 watts. I also ordered the Velodyne subwoofer from Vanns and cant wait to see how that performs - These Sonys are so good I think I might not need the sub!!
3 minor complaints I have are
1. The speaker connections could have been more versatile.
2. The speaker cables are useless.
3. The rubber sleeves that hold the grill into the speaker body come out too easily.
Actually I perform in restaurants World Loungy music and I was tired of lugging around those horrible looking, large, boring, no personality PA speakers so now I use these Sony Speakers.

The reason I chose these were because they are such a good deal. There are no cheaper 4-way speakers than these period I can bet on that. These speakers are for the non critical audiophile the midrange distorts more than other drivers, actually its the only speaker that distorts but is only going to drive you crazy if your a critical listener who put these speaker up LOUD. The bass from the woofers pumped up lot of bass so much they took over my subwoofer! I have them set up as main speakers for my surround sound these bad boys will not dissapoint for the price and there sensitivity is very good its 90db per watt so they will sound louder with less efficient receivers. The service was free and way fast let me say again that these speakers are heavy they weigh 35 lbs each and the 2 meca woofer are incredible very good value vanns has these for the cheapest price than anywhere else!
