What customers say about "Size & Weight"

Pioneer SP-FS52 Andrew Jones Designed Floor standing Loudspeaker

I didn't think they would be THIS good when I received them because they are a little smaller in size than I thought they would be. To my surprise, these are amazing.
It is a great value speaker. I am very pleased with its performance and its quality. Just be aware or the large size.
The towers are well made and in fact are surprisingly heavy.
These speakers are of a descent size and weight so if space is an issue you may want to go a different route.
They are fairly large, but seem to blend in well in our living room making them almost unobtrusive if it weren't for the beautiful music coming from them.

Sony SSCS3 3-Way Floor-Standing Speaker (Single) - Black

Good build quality, it is a good size not too big not too small.
They work well for a medium sized apartment, they would also work well in large spaces or outside too. Great size and weight.
I recommend these for excellent listening and compact size. A good value for the money.
Great sound. Perfect size for what I needed them for.
It's fairly large in size, heavy and looks great. The sound comes across solid with no distortion.

I have the complete set. Love them! Power and clarity at all levels and they look great!
Paired these with 2 larger speakers and 2 powered subs. A perfect combo
I absolutely love these speakers. The bass has that deep, quality bass that you can only get with a full sized speaker without being at all boomy or over powering (I have these connected to my Onkyo without a subwoofer, which really isn't needed).
The rest of the frequency spectrum has a really good, natural sound to it. I can listen to these speakers all night without getting exhausted as I would with cheaper, less naturally sounding speakers.
Ok sounding for the price. Would pay more for better sound
I compared this speaker and the Onkyo SKF-4800, i found the onkyo speakers to have more details in the highs. mids sound good in both speakers, a bit bright in the onkyo but nothing harsh.

Sony SSCS3 3-Way Floor-Standing Speaker (Single) - Black

Great bass response for speakers this size. Medium and high frequencies really good too.
Sounds way better than the price. Good highs, miss and decent bass for the small sized woofer.
The treble was clean and articulate, the midrange was smooth and un-cluttered and the bass was solid and pure!
The sound quality is great, the mids are clear and punchy, I think these speakers would even be fine without the sub-woofer, but sometimes I wanna feel that bass.
They sound of a higher quality and provide superb clarity especially in the mid range and in the highs. They're perfect for audiophiles.

What customers say about "Features"

Pioneer SP-FS52 Andrew Jones Designed Floor standing Loudspeaker

Towers and center channel look great with grills off
I like that you can take the grills off, as I'd rather see the drivers.
The cabinet is well made, the terminals of high quality.
Speaker grills have partially turned purple, even in a room with blackout curtains and seldom direct sunlight.
Veneer is very cheap quality, already peeling in the corners after 9 months of delicate handling.

Sony SSCS3 3-Way Floor-Standing Speaker (Single) - Black

Good sound quality, nice looking. Material seem to be top of the line.
The speaker feels very dense and well made. It look fantastic with or without the grill depending on what you want and it feel very solidly built.
This speaker has a smart black finish that blends with most contemporary interiors. The wood veneer also retains its shape well.
Mica Reinforced Cellular (MRC) fiber woofers are rigid, holding their shape even when moving at high pressure and speed.
The low/bass sound is adequate, but not great. Though I can hear the bass sound I “feel” sometime is missing. This is common with a small woofer.
