Very Good Bookshelf Speakers
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These bookshelf speakers are very good sounding. I’m using them as my rear speakers in my 5.1.2 Sony Speaker setup. They are pretty big in size.

Great Value and Sound
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The upgrade I needed. Changed out old Bose cube speakers to Core Series. Not the same highs as the boses, but mild and low end blow the Bose out of the water and highs as fine for my taste.

Great Speakers for Price!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These speakers are excellent pair for price. Great sound and size for placement in my decor. You won’t be disappointed. They were set up in store and I had opportunity to Hear what I was buying before I wired the at my home.
I would recommend this to a friendGreat entry level bookshelf/computer speakers
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These speakers were built properly using components that only an audiophile would know about. Yes these are cheap MDF boxes and yes the parts are Chinese. That doesn’t mean they weren’t built properly. They have film capacitors and has a nicely designed 3way crossover. A subwoofer is slightly needed to compliment the bass however it’s good the way it is.

Clean, pure sound
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These bookshelf speakers have a clean modern design. They play loud without distortion. They have a good soundstage and blend well with the Sony core sub. I am driving them with a Sonos Amp with no problem.
I would recommend this to a friendSurprisingly Great

Solid Entry Level Bookshelf Speakers
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are a dramatic step up from small satellite speakers for a home theater setup. Paired with the Core sub they make for an excellent entry level home theater speaker set.

Unbeatable at twice their price
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These speakers are unbelievable, and are flat-out the best sounding speakers I've owned in more than 50 years. The sound is neutral in the best sense of the word, and with a decent sound source the speakers themselves are "invisible" -- all you here is an accurately presented sound field. At the list price of $150/pr, they're worth at least double that. I got them on sale for $75/pr, and at that price I feel like I stole them. These aren't for JBL or Klipsch fans -- these speakers are for people who want to hear the music as it was recorded. Highly recommended!

Outstanding! Nothing compares for the price.
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sound is subjective, that being said you cannot find better sounding new speakers at this price (sale price $88). Detail is where these truly shine. I use these in conjunction with a Sony Core series sub and the set up is outstanding. Google results for these reveal that most agree you cannot find better for under 200. I agree and recommend these to people all the time, especially those wanting to dip their toes into the vinyl world without breaking the bank. I have had these for a year with zero issues, if anything they sound better now than new.
