    I managed to get these at a fairly significant discounted price on the day. Performance is excellent - especially at the price point I was able to get.

      Hi BBCustomer, That's great! We're glad to hear that! These speakers are built on sound foundations. A strong, ported enclosure allows for rich, resonant acoustics. The bass reflex duct, positioned at the rear of the speaker, suppresses unwanted noise and improves low-frequency sound reproduction. Thanks for choosing SS-CS5 Stereo Bookshelf Speakers.

    For the money and performance, this is simply awesome. Measures great in REW and can EQ easily to get the most out of these speakers.

    No holes for mounting or to attach to stand. Larger than polk t15 but sound quality and level is not above Polk-t15 which were cheaper and sound nice. I was buying this for rears. If you are a sony fan it will not be a bad purchase. I just prefer the smaller, mountable/stand use, and cheaper without compromise sound quality of the polks T15.

    I read a ton of reviews on these speakers before purchasing them and you’ll either love them or hate them. To a lot of people they have a very detailed and crisp sound and are incredible value for money. To others, like me, they make a sound that is really annoying and fatiguing to listen to.

    I had an LG system before, and the head unit died so I had to get a new one. I found the Sony unit on sale at best buy for a price too good to ignore. I always do my research and read reviews. After I fell in love with the head unit I wanted to update my speakers as well. So I read more reviews and did more research. And found that the Sony core series 5" bookshelf speakers were the right fit for what was looking for. I haven't been let down so far.
