Sony SA-VS350H 5.1/7.1-Channel Speaker Package (Black) Review

Late last year my wife and I decided to downsize our living space from a 5 bedroom house to a 3 bedroom, upstairs apartment. When I moved in Nov of 09, I gave my sona 5.1 surround sound speaker set which was simply way to big for my new place. My den now is only 11x11'. A large speaker would be impossible in such a small space. After looking and listening to many sub sat speaker options in a variety of configurations, from sound bars to cubes to orb type speakers, I came upon this Sony system at the Sony Style Store in NYC while on a business trip. While I gave up my speakers, I kept my Sony STR-5400ES surround soundreciever and my Sony BDP-S1000ES Blu-Ray Player. For my CD collection, I have a NAD C565BEE Player. All this is coupled to a 52" Sony XBR9 LCD TV. So I was ready to add a room friendly surround speaker package to my system. This Sony package fit the bill perfectly. The speakers are tall and very narrow, with an extremely small footprint. The powered sub is narrow and sits next to the TV stand between the front speakers perfectly. When I installed the speakers and EQ'ed the system, the sound produced was detailed and sweet. The sub's controls allowed me to fine tune the bass to my small space. No boom, but plenty of bottom when needed. After several months of listening to all kinds of music, watching Blu-Rays and playing video games, I can say that this system, for the money is very tough to beat. On Classical music, the orchestra's sound is rich and full, with a great amount of detail in the music. Piano and violin sound very good. Bass instruments deliver the goods without boom or smear. The sound is never thin or shrill like many other systems in this price range. Jazz, rock and blues also sound superb. The surround sound draws you in. When I played the Roy Orbison Black and White Night Concert Bluray, I was in the club with the audience. The music was completely enveloping, the vocals were perfect and the band was red hot and in my room. The center channel provides clear and life like dialogue.In my small space, I am able to dial in the perfect blend of bass without boom. While on my hunt for a small room system, I looked at systems that cost up to $3000.00, and I can honestly say that this Sony system delivered the sonic goods without the high price tag. At the suggested retail list price, this system would be a good buy, but at the Amazon price, with no tax and free shipping, this thing is a smoking bargain. I would recommend this speaker system to anyone who wants a clean, warm and detailed sound on music and movies, and also enjoys the beautiful design of this system. One final note, the speakers and sub are made with very high quality materials, and sound as good as they look.
