Pretty Good
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are pretty nice for what they cost on sale ($75). They are paired with a Sony 10" sub, and a Yamaha 100 wpc receiver in my vacation rental. I've only listened to FM radio through these. They have a bright sound with pretty clear midrange. When cranked up a little they handle it well, with the woofers humming! I wouldn't call them audiophile quality, but they are decent for what they are.

Very Nice Speakers
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought these for a lounge area at work and use them with a Bluetooth iPod nano and a Yamaha 2-channel 200w receiver. They sound great and are pretty clear even when they get loud. I can hear every part of a song and haven't had any problems with them. I would buy these for my own home.

Love the sound!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.When we redid our living room we replaced our early 1980's standing floor speakers with this pair of Sony bookshelf speakers. I love the sound they produce. They sound so much better than the old speakers and they take up a fraction of the space.

Excellent speakers!!!
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent sound quality!!! Deal of the day purchase so the price was a steal!! Can be used alone in smaller rooms at lower volumes and still have good frequency range. To really see/hear what these can do, use with a sub.

good speakers, poor knowledge at store on best buy
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The speakers are working great and the sound is perfect for our room. It was hard to find a Best Buy associate who had knowledge of speakers. Also, the demo system at the Richfield store didn't work .

Best speakers in this price range.
||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.,

Great sound for small speakers
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was a bit skeptical when I bought these. I didn't think that they would sound as nice as they do. They have a wide frequency response for bookshelf speakers. I liked them so much that I had to return to buy the matching center speaker. Now my system is complete. I couldn't be happier.

Amazing Little Speakers!

They were paired with the Sony 2 channel receiver and produce amazing sounds! I hooked up a turntable and was able to play all my old albums from the 1970’s. I am very pleased with this purchase.
