Before some of you less knowledgeable people come in here and start bashing these speakers just because it bears the name SONY, please click the comparison video below. These are hidden gems, and a steal at the price.

I recently compared SSCS5 with Klipsch R-41M and Infinity R162, and notably R162 > SSCS5 > R-41M, which echoed the testing result of SSCS5 review [audiosciencereview.com] here. R-41M is horrible and I don't think anyone should waste their money on them.

I also recently had the opportunity to compare SACS9 with Polk PSW10, and notably Polk PSW10 > SACS9, which echoed the review [youtube.com]here.

Finally, I also tested SSCS8 against JBL Studio 520C, and 520C > SSCS8. I am waiting for my Infinity RC263 to compare against.

Sony isn't too bad, but if you just have a little more budget to spend for budget speakers (when they're on sale of course! like the previous Infinity sale), you can really get much better sound.

I do recommend checking out the above tests and reviews. These data are pretty accurate because I can hear those differences across these speakers. The usual "listening test" on youtube by just playing some music isn't real sound test at all! Because they haven't done any true sound range testing and get proper setup. The reviews above reference more accurate sound test and they will resonate more with real experiences.

Looking for a decent set of speakers for a projector use. Sports and movies primarily, any recommendations from this list of Sony speakers?

Well from what i gathered these will need a Sub and that the Sony Core sub is no good to get something else.

Some people say that the bookshelf speaker sound better then the tower .
So if you only need a pair get the bookshelf and a decent sub.

I've have the bookshelf for left, right, and surround. The matching center and atmos speakers on the ceiling which are also on sale for $99. These are great for someone beginning to setup a home theater on a tight budget.

I was waiting for these to go on sale again so I could try them out. I'm not sure if they'll end up in my office or at the cottage. Either way, thanks!

Rc263 of course it will be better. The sound is richer and more capacious

I rather like Yamaha, and you can often find last year's model for 1/2 off.

The Sony 7.1.2 receiver (STR-DN1080) is good too - slightly more expensive, but better auto-EQ and room calibration, if those are important for you.

For movies, get the bookshelves and pair them with a good sub - I like Hsu Research, SVS, and Outlaw Audio.

Bought two sets of the bookshelf speakers for the front and surrounds along with the center. Added a 12" Polk sub for the low end (PSW12 for $60 used). Running on a Yamaha HTR-4065 new for $250. This has been an absolutely amazing budget setup for a general-purpose projector TV room. All bookshelf speakers are wall-mounted with basic Amazon mounts to make the room totally kid-proof. Mounted them all a touch high to avoid the random kid that hasn't learned better. But great for movies, Mario Kart, and general TV viewing.

The total cost for this projector room was $1200. Other significant costs; Epson 1060 projector $250, Roku Ultra ($50), Modded Wii U ($80), DIY 96" screen (Carl's Place Flex White material, $80), and Chromecast 2 ($30).
