Sony SS-B1000 5 1/8-Inch Bookshelf Speakers (Pair) Review
Sony SS-B1000 5 1/8-Inch Bookshelf Speakers (Pair) Review from Timothy F Ortlieb. Five-star value, I’m glad I received these Sony SSB-1000 bookshelf speakers as a gift because I probably wouldn’t have bought them myself without a demonstration first. I love the convenience of small speakers but I expected a trade-off of convenience for sound quality. Well, these Sony speakers are impressive in spite of their small size. There’s a rounded, glamorous sheen to the sound they produce, over the full frequency range. The bass is rich and detailed, not booming or exaggerated. The dynamic range is expansive, handling big climaxes without popping or distortion. Recordings sound more naturally warm and even old mono recordings have noticeably more body. Without a comparison, it’s hard to say how much breadth of sound I’m giving up by not having larger speakers (the Sony SSB-3000, say) but these little wonders are entirely satisfying in their own right. In sum, these are speakers an audiophile could live with. Five stars for value!
