    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.

    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

    Bought these to upgrade old surround speakers, after I hooked these up I couldn't believe how much punch they had and could hear the slightest and subtle tones I couldn't before. I decided to upgrade center channel speaker as well. The sound quality is suppurb, can't beat for the price

    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.

    Great, and needed pairing for my old Sony Receiver STR-DE597. Had the speakers that came with the receiver all these years. Decided to upgrade, and got these. They sound amazing, especially with the 12" 400 watt powered subwoofer, I have connected to it. All the music sounds awesome from Frank Sinatra to Rebelution to Kendrick Lamar. Thanks Sony.

    I purchased these to pair up with a Sony 4K receiver. The sound quality is simply amazing whether it's music, movies, or DirecTV. I have my entire setup built around these speakers and the Sony Core Series subwoofer. Paired all together the sound and the price cannot be beat!

    We put these speakers in an old console stereo that we redid. They sound amazing. We paired it with the Sony turntable and it is so clear. We did not need to add anything to these speakers. They sound amazing.

    I read several reviews on different speakers in my price range. I decided to buy the center channel speaker and was pleased with the sound. I decided to complete the set with the bookshelf’s and am amazed at the difference in sound I get compared to my old JBL satellites. Highly recommend these speakers, especially at this price point.

    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.
