Help with speaker ID

[fdejong]

Can anyone ID these speakers? Look a bit like newer B&W but I'm pretty sure that's not what they are....

Sony bookshelfs that bestbuy had for sale last year. They apparently got good reviews, but they sort of sounded like everything else on the shelf to me.

That makes sense - nice ID! Too new for my taste.

Nothing wrong with new, as long as its decent. Speaker designs have come a long way in the past thirty years.

Well, given that they're dying their woofer's that almost trademark amber yellow that marks B&W's kevlar drivers, Sony's clearly trying to make their speakers look like B&Ws. But the way they've mounted those drivers to the front wall of the speakers just looks cheap compared to how overbuilt my DM603s are.

I like this statement in the title: "5 speakers with woofers."

And this one in the body: "The 2 smaller speakers have something on the back if you would like to connect them to a wall." I mean, I'd much rather connect my speakers to a receiver or an amp. I might mount them to a wall, but the "something" I'd use would probably be a strange new device called a "hook."

But using a hook to sell a speaker reminds me of how Coors Light is spending its money on developing a can that tells you its cold instead of improving the actual swill they put in the can.

No auction links! The OP is inquiring about the speakers, he or she said nothing about owning them.

Are you referring to my post? Its a link to amazon.com, not ebay, where they sell those speakers new. I couldn't find the one from Best Buy's website. I think they discontinued that model.

Oh, oh! That can of worms again. Is that a long way up or down?

Up...unless your an ostrich with your head in the sand.

No, somebody posted a CL link, which I deleted.
