    Great sound in a small package! And at $74.99, it's a great value too!

    These were a replacement for a pair of cheap Sony speakers I purchased almost 20 years ago. These speakers are a vast improvement. They sound great and are very clear. They paired up nicely with the rest of the speakers in my system. Very satisfied with my purchase and would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for affordable rears or small bookshelf speakers with great sound.

    Pretty good sounding speakers. A little underpowered for a major stereo system, but very good for a starter. I had these on the same shelf as a 40 year old phonograph (cheap) and they were loud and didn't cause a disruption. However, I got a big 16 inch subwoofer on sale and they are too small for that, but work great in the kids room, especially for the price.

    These speakers were touted as the best sound and value in their size and class, from several online music business reviewers. They have delivered. I highly recommend these Sony Core Series 5 inch, three-way Bookshelf Speakers.

    They are a little larger for bookshelf speakers but the sound quality is far more superior than other brands making it worth the space and cost.

    Speaker sounds very good even at high volumes no distortion. Terminals are nice and sturdy seem to have good construction but I accidentally hit a corner on my wall with one and the black vinyl or whatever they use peeled back a little. Just take care of them and it's a great product.

    Bought these speakers along with a Sony receiver to upgrade my record player set-up and the sound improvement is incredible! Great sound and bass. Connected easily to my receiver as well.

    Great speaker. Sony has come a long way. I got these to match the front towers and use them as surround and surround back, I'm even sending some low frequencies to them and they can easily handle the bass. Very crisp sound, the super tweeter is a huge plus.

    Very nice speaker you can hear things in the song instruments and sounds that you normally wouldn’t hear, Great for a mid‘s and highs has bass but obviously not a deep bass but sounds very good. I think they work best in a four speaker set up has a crazy ability of sounding like it’s in a different position in the center instead of to the sides.

    I bought these to replace a pair of Realistic 30 year floor standing speakers. Even though these are about a quarter of the size they sound twice as good. Both the bass and treble are there in the correct amounts. I'm happy
