I find these speakers amazingly adequate as temporary replacements for my venerable-but-finally-broken EPI 1200's.
These speakers are hold-me-overs until I decently replace some Epicure EPI 1200's over 25 years old. The EPI's 12" woofer suspensions finally rotted resulting a buzzing when any sound in the woofer's bailiwick comes along.
I found out about these Sony speakers courtesy of the ceaseless flow of email some of us allow Amazon to send us. The deal was much less than $100 and the reviews pretty much said "suprisingly good".
When I turned my system on after connecting these speakers I was pleased with what I heard, aware as I was of some flaws. There is a certain lack of coherence, the sound stage is narrower than the separation of the speakers, and of course they don't go as low as the EPIs did in their heyday. My wife, who has much better hearing than I do, notices less high end than before. And for a little while, when we switch on the system we will be expecting to hear the EPI sound, and getting the low-end sound.
Again though, for what I've paid (shipping was a significant add on because of the weight and the urgency) they are great.
