I normally stay away from sony and would never think of buying speakers from SOny. But i needed 2 speakers for the bedroom, and they were cheap enough. When i hooked them up i was shocked how good they sound.

The sound that these speakers produce is way beyond my expectation it has a wonderful distinct, deep yet thumpy bass while it doesn’t loose any of the other range.

With these speakers you do not need a woofer.

I purchased the Sony SSF-6000 speakers as part of a modestly priced home theater system. A 57″ Toshiba DLP HDTV is the “heart” of the system, with a Yahamha receiver and center channel, Radio Shack subwoofer, and Proficient in-ceiling rear speakers.

For the money, it’s hard to imagine a better choice than the Sony’s. The dual mids provide ample “oomph” for any broadcast programming or DVD. The clarity and separation are outstanding and the tweeters provide clear highs without being harsh.

If you want more than a typical “theater in a box” but don’t have mega-bucks (my entire system, including the HDTV and custom installation, was right at $3,500), I’d definitely recommend the Sony speakers for your front towers.

Well…after carefully researching speakers in my price range, which isn’t much and seeing I literally hate to get ripped off, I opted for these Sonys. I made the right decision. At first I had them hooked up wrong…had one connected as a front speaker and one as a back. Alright, So now you know I’m a dork. I thought I might need extra tweeters when I had them wrong, but after rectifying my mistake I discovered I needed no such thing.

Bass is strong and solid, mids are great and the highs are ample…very pleased. I am an Infinity speaker fan and seeing I can’t afford my glorious infinities these were their substitutes. I had a pair of Infinities once and these are serious contenders. I am astounded at the sound and power. I was looking at some Acoustic Audio’s on ebay due to the price and the claims…yet was told they are garbage, actualy I suspected as much. So for $132 delivered, you cannot possibly go wrong with these Sony’s. Yet I will confirm what the other reviewer stated…order 14 gauge speakerwire when ordering these, it’s just shy of 6 bucks and worth it. These come with what I expect is 25 gauge.

I am Daniel’s wife and am totally glad Daniel’s research for the “Best”

speakers has ended.

I have personally had very expensive equipment in the past and have to admit I am impressed with the sound system and speakers he has chosen.

Daniel was very concerned that the product would not deliver what was promised and I have to say that these speakers deliver.

You won’t be disappointed.

Don’t let the price tag fool you.

I got this pair of speakers because i recently upgraded from a 5.1 to a 7.1 receiver. I had 4 ss-b3000 3 way speakers and the CN5000 center, all sony. I chose the f6000 because it seemed like a big high performance speaker. I am please with the sound and i think the price is adequate for what you get. The only thing is that my B3000 which are smaller speakers have better louder bass.

So if you are thinking about a big sound system i would go with the 3000 instead of these ones. The 3000 are less expensive and perform just as well if not better. Also they take less space.

I will start by confirming what other reviewers have pointed out : you’re unlikely to find better sounding floorstanding speakers at this price. The F6000s offer convincing depth despite not being constructed out of real wood. I have two pairs hooked up to a Yamaha RX-V663 receiver along with the CN-5000 center channel speaker.

I compared these at a store against a pair of JBL ES80 and similarly priced Yamaha floorstanding speakers. The F6000 offered the least warmth but most clarity out of the three. I rated the F6000s with 4 stars because it has a very uneven response curve (though somewhat expected at this price range) and needs delicate equalizing. The bass is slightly boomy, lower mids come out too strong and upper mids are relatively weak, highs are OK. I am amazed at the reviewer who wrote the bass isn’t deep, he must be a subwoofer junkie. I can certainly feel the bass in my chest.

The loss of upper mid frequencies might be because the speakers are 4-way and the signal may be degrading going through too many crossover filters or it may be a safe design decision to make the sound pleasing to the average Joe. This won’t be an issue for most people but I would not recommend these speakers to you unless you are using a 9 band equalizer. Listening to Guns N’ Roses “Use Your Illusion” albums I get the feeling the guitars sound distant and muddy. Other reviewers with sharp ears have pointed out this muddiness, it is certainly caused by the strong lower mids (NOT caused by low driver quality) therefore it can be corrected.

My Yamaha receiver has a 7 band graphic equalizer and below are the settings I recommend for obtaining a ‘flat EQ’ (amplifiers and room acoustics affect the sound but you should get a general idea) :

63Hz : -1.5 dB

160Hz : -0.0 dB

400Hz : -1.0 dB

1kHz : -2.0 dB

2.5kHz : +0.0 dB

6.3kHz : +3.0 dB

16kHz : +0.5 db

What I would have liked is a control point around 4 kHz because boosting 6kHz too much can make guitars and drums sound harsh or fatiguing but with only 7 bands I had to make a compromise. Thats why I recommend at least 9 bands for these speakers. Nevertheless, the settings above will have the effect of removing a blanket from over your speakers.

I use my Yamaha 663′s automatic parametric EQ for classical music which makes the violins from Vivaldi’s “Four Seasons” sound amazingly detailed with no trace of harshness. I must say I was impressed with Sony’s tweeters and midrange driver’s clarity. With just a graphical EQ I would recommend starting with my ‘flat’ settings as reference followed by a little boost of the 8-12kHz range ( if you can ) to your taste.

The only weakness I can find with these speakers is the excessively strong lower mid frequencies but it shouldn’t be too big of a deal if you are willing to spend some time correcting it. As long as you are subtle EQing, the tone will remain clear. These speakers won’t have the depth of a 1000$ speaker but at 1/10th the price that can hardly be considered a fault.
