Please provide your own test then. That's the only one I can find. LOL.
And it's good enough for the people actually considering buying the Jamo or Sony like me.

Towers may have better midbass, which sub won't cover. Sometimes the cost of towers can equal the cost of bookshelf version + stands ...unless u already own stands.

Btw...if u sit between your main towers, there's zero reason to even have a center speaker. Many center speakers are a compromised design. Lots of people prefer the sound of a "phantom" center.

For bookshelves, the Sonys are actually pretty small. If you want smaller, you'd need to look at satellites, but they're not going to sound as good.

They're usually on sale somewhere. Again, they're okay for low end speakers, but you can get more bang for you buck, especially with Black Friday right around the corner.

I had these for a few days. Returned them. A little thin sounding and tilted up treble for my taste. You'll need a sub for these if you want a "full" sound.
