At first listen, these new Core Series speakers will make your favorite audio tracks unfold throughout your listening environment, thanks to precise instrument reproduction, positioning, and even depth relative to an expansive soundstage. Thanks so much for your purchase!

    Purchased these speakers to replace the speakers which came with the Sony system we've had for about 25 years. The sound is much better and they're much smaller than the originals. Very satisfied.

    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.

    Fantastic Speakers, I was just comparing them to my big Paradigm towers and they stand up well although they surely can't deliver the bass that big towers would. For bookshelf speakers these are excellent. These will embarrass speakers that are twice as expensive, I would buy the towers if I didn't already have a bunch of speakers already.

    I was surprised of the good sound coming out of these little speakers. I got them on sale and you couldn't beat the price. Was really impressed on how far speakers of common the last 15 years :-) I had an old pair of Bose 301, and these actually sound better. You will definitely need a subwoofer. I like their sound and had a subwoofer here connected it and went wow.

    The ratings on YouTube were excellent and they were not wrong! Matched with the Sony - STRDH790- 7.2-Ch. with Dolby Atmos & Dolby Vision 4K Ultra HD HDR A/V Home Theater Receiver - Black - they are fabulous.

    Standing at 13 inches, they might be a little large for some folks (not me), but just an FYI. The sound, however, is great. Crystal clear and with a lot of power for a small price. I definitely recommend placing them on speaker stands for the best sound and ability to direct the positioning.

    Great sound in a small package. Sony is the way to go! I was concerned that I had to strip wires to hook up speakers, so I enlisted my brothers help - he has the tools. It was easier than we thought. As a plus, the Best Buy store associate got the wire for me and showed me exactly how to do it.

    Sounds wonderful in my home. This is my first home without built in in-wall speakers, so buying these was like comparing apples to oranges. But they handle the components well, and sound great. I only wish they had had white speakers as black gets so dusty.

    These smaller speakers produce a loud beat! Be sure to check out the back of them. There are 2 ways to hook them to a stereo. Copper wire which is pretty easy to attach or particular jacks that will fit.

    Great sound from these unassuming speakers. Great highs with a better than average low end. Running these with my new Sony 5.2 receiver. Eventually I'll get the matching subwoofer to complete my 2.1 system.
