||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have been reading about these speakers in various online forums for over a year now. I was not in the market for a new set of speakers but I saw these go on sale for 1/2 price and I could not resist. My initial setup was a set of Monitor Audio R90 with matching center (made in England version) matched to a HSU VTF-2 MK5 but I always felt that there could be a little more low end out of the front main speakers. The Sonys ended filling in all the detail that was previously missing in the low range while still being very articulate in the high range without being harsh despite have a "super" tweeter. The Core series easily keeps up with speakers going for $300-500/pair. I would say they may sound just as good at lower to moderate volumes as a set of B&W DM series that I used to own. I honestly do not think you can buy a better set of speakers under $300. The only complaint I have is these are not as loud as the Core stereo speakers for some reason. Perhaps they are not as efficient but you should be able to easily compensate for that buy just increasing the center channel volume a few notches.
I would recommend this to a friendAwesome Upgrade!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Nice upgrade to my center speaker that came with my original receiver. I had already upgraded to a newer receiver, upgraded the FL and FR speakers and added Atmos speakers before so this was a great addition to my system.

Solid
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought these as part of a package with the rest of the Sony core series line. I’m pretty impressed. To get an entire dedicated 5.2.2 atmos home theatre for around $1,600 is a no brained if trying to decide between something like this and a high end sound bar.

Sony center channel
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is my first time building a home theater but this sound bar is nice and sleek, you have to have it at eye level for the high frequency sounds to reach your ears but thats with any mid to high range speaker. Other than that i havent had any problems with it

Crisp and clear
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very clear and detailed vocals. I had it placed above my tv angled down due to space constraints. I am willing to bet it would have sounded even better if space allowed for it to fit in the stand below the tv. Very good value in the Core Series speakers.

Terrific upgrade
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I recently purchased a new 65" SONY 4K TV and a new SONY receiver and thought I'd upgrade my home theater speaker system while I was it. I started with a SONY subwoofer. This center channel came next. I couldn't be more pleased. It helps fill the room with sound and presence.
