Sony SS-MF515 Speaker

Pros: Sound quality, tall design allows sounds to travel better.
Cons: Can be knocked over easliy, as they are a little top heavy.

For close to 20 years, I owned a pair of Infinity RS-7 speakers, as they were my first investment in speakers. I listened to all the speakers in the store, and for all the ones in my price range that had the highs lows & mids I needed to have. However ...

Pros: Look Great, Inexpensive, Great Sound, High Quality, Great Bass
Cons: None

I decied to look at some good speakers in the less than $300 price range. I found these at the Best Buy selection of speakers. They were $269 normal price, but they were $230 on sale. Wow, and I saw these on the internet for $300. They look very similar...

Pros: Music.
Cons: Having to get the mother-in-law to lift the box packed with both of them.

Firstly, let me say I never liked Sony products before - the amplifiers sounded a bit thin, cassette decks sounded a little soft, CD players sounded a bit sharp, and speakers sounded like boxes. Not really bad, but not all that good either. So why have I...

Pros: low cost, small footprint, good sound, low power requirements
Cons: sound can be better as I explain,

One tradition in music reproduction that seems to have vanished faster than the tube-tester in the local drug store is that of modifying stereo gear to give you that "perfect" sound. Once upon a time people tweaked their amplifiers and built their...

Pros: All the sound you need at an astoundingly great price
Cons: These suckers are tall

I agree with petergaryr's review - these speakers are easy to overlook because they are such a great bargain! I compared these to a more expensive setup from Cambridge Soundworks (Model 6 + Bass Cube 10) and it was no comparison for apartment living....

Pros: price, good bass
Cons: hissing sound

First, here's a link to its specs

When I went looking for speakers, I wanted to get something big - just for intimidation reaons :) but of course, I wanted...

Pros: Good entry level speaker; smooth response
Cons: Price may scare away people from giving it a listen

All speakers represent a compromise between accuracy of reproduction and price. I have owned over the years a wide variety of speakers from Dahlquist, JBL, Altec Lansing, AR, KLH, Optimus, Advent and Polk.

In and of itself, the Sony is a...

Pros: sound quality, looks, price
Cons: could use some more bass (but if you want lots of bass, get a subwoofer)

I bought these pair for $150 online... I've tested it's smaller cousin (with only one woofer) and I was impressed. I bought the MF-515 online without actually hearing it first and I can say I wasn't disappointed when I received it.

The speaker...

Pros: Great Looks, Great Sound, Great Price
Cons: None

I went shopping for new front speakers for my home theater system on a strict budget and saw these on sale. At first I passed over them because I figured at that price they couldn't be all that. After listening to the other tower speakers in the store...

Pros: Great bang for the buck
Cons: Large speakers, need a good place to live

I thought I had purchased a great home theater system, when I heard it in the store. I picked out a pair a Bose 301 speakers for my front speakers. After 6 months or so of watching Dolby Digital and DTS DVD's I started to become unimpressed with my home...

Pros: Great sound, great price
Cons: You'll probably need a sub

Shhh! Don't tell anyone! The Sony 515's are the very best speaker secret under $500. (Maybe $1000). Most audiophiles will stop listening as soon as you say "Sony" and "speaker" in the same sentence, but don't mind them. These speakers...

Pros: Above average sound, stylish design, bargain price, binding posts
Cons: Speaker covers constantly come lose

As many people have stated, the low price of these speakers scare a lot of people away. When looking for a speaker, if I heard a hollow sound, I tried to stay away from that particular speaker. Unlike many other inexpensive speakers, the Sonys did not...

Pros: Great sound, great bass
Cons: Slight hiss on some things

I purchased these after reviewing several glowing reviews on this web site. My budget was originally going to be in the $350 to $500 range and I picked these up at Etronics for $169 for the pair. For the pair!
I paid almost that much for my...

Pros: price size
Cons: They change sound over time as the tweeter breaks in. Harsh, tizzy sound

I got a set of these for a friend, and was so impressed, got a set for myself.
They sound good for a week or two until the tweeter breaks in!
Then they sound tizzy and bright, just like what they are, a cheap speaker with a cheap metal dome...

Pros: Loud, Bassy, Full Range Sound
Cons: Can get distorted at VERY high volumes

These are are sony's best floor speakers for the casual home user. They can be obtained at any Best Buy or Circuit City. They have 4 speakers each; 2 6 1/4" woofers, a midrange 3", and a tweeter 1". The 2 woofers produce a lot of bass...
