The Sony SSF-7000 Floor Standing 4 way Speakers are in some ways the big daddy of the Sony SSF-6000s we reviewed a shot while back with a couple of changes the SSF-7000 sport an impressive sounding 8 inch woofer (as opposed to the SSF-7000s 6 inchers) it is also built to handle slightly more power (up to 200 watts rms @ 8 Ohms ). In terms of looks and finish the two speakers are almost identical (the larger woofer cone not withstanding) the Sony SSF-7000 are only a few pounds heavier and about 4 inches taller.

Sound wise the bass end is only slightly more powerful and controlled than the already excellent standard set by the Sony SSF-6000s, they manage to sound in control and have a smooth character even at extremely high volumes. The Sony SSF-7000 still display the slight sibilance I also discussed hearing at loud volumes with the Sony SSF-6000s, this isnt really all that much of a surprise, neither is it a dealbreaker for speakers in this price range. Both sets of speakers are a great buy and which you go for will really depend on two things, your room size and the likely average volume you will be using these at.

In all but the largest rooms the Sony SSF-6000s are likely to be extremely capable of doing the work required, and so unless you are planning on using these in a very large area its pretty much down to personal preference which is better for you. The Sony SSF-6000s are I’m my humble opinion better value for money but there is nothing to stop you listening to both sets and seeing which of the two you prefer. Both are solid choices for the mid to large living room.
