Customers are saying
Customers highly value the Core Series 5" 3-Way Bookshelf Speakers, particularly praising the amazing sound quality, notable bass, and clear highs. The speakers are also appreciated for their compact size, ease of use, and reasonable price. While the design is considered simple and nice, a minor drawback is their relatively heavy weight.

Easy to hook up to vintage receiver
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These speakers fit in a small space and have great sound. They are heavy for their size and you need to be careful moving them.

Posted .That's awesome, JacobK! We're thrilled to hear that you are enjoying your Sony Bookshelf speaker. 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. To avoid sound issues with the speaker, make sure that the connections are correctly made. Contact between bare speaker wires at the speaker terminals can sometimes cause a short-circuit. Thanks for choosing Sony! -Craig

Got em on sale good value for the money.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got these with a Sony sub for a room and they have worked out really well. They were on sale at a decent price. It's hard to get speakers with a tweeter, midrange and base these days. Miss the old days before the small cube speakers took over the world.
I would recommend this to a friendAbove Average Sound
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The bookshelf speakers have a nice imaging soundstage. However, to me the sound was not as clear/pure as that delivered by my Sonos Playbar. Given the outside finish, they have a slightly cheaper look than speakers with solid wood cabinets.
