Any other Sony SS-AR1 owners out there?


Yes. I finally took the plunge. After several months of comparing and debating over different models and makes of speakers, I finally dropped a bundle of my hard earned money on a pair of speakers that say 'Sony' on the front. Still breaking them in, but definitely very happy with my decision so far. Any other AR-1 owners out there, and if so what are your impressions? Thanks.

Congratulations Dserota17. I heard them at RMAF earlier this year. Sony did a very nice job with these speakers. They are terrific.

Enjoy!

Sony's US headquarters is located in a suburb of San Diego. They were gracious enough to invite our local club, the San Diego Music and Audio Guild, to a private demo last weekend. We were told they had installed a custom sound room but that turned out to be just a converted office space (maybe 12 x 18) with a typical office dropped ceiling. Even in that much less than ideal environment their speakers showed great promise.

Several Guild members had attended THE Show at Newport Beach last summer and heard the SS-AR1s in a much larger and more appropriate room so we knew their full potential was not being demonstrated at the Sony facility.

Dserota, as your pair breaks in and you refine their placement in your room I must believe you will be very pleased with them.
I heard the Sony Speaker in Berkeley at Music Lovers, last month; Blue Coast Music and Reference Recordings were on hand for the demo..... pretty spectacular.
