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.

pretty good for 5.1 setup
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought thses to replace the larger Sony's I've had a couple of years for my AV setup. They sound pretty good for 1/3 the size of my older speakers. I would recommend to anyone with limited space, although I would say you need a sub as well.

Posted .Hi dragonss1972, Awesome! Good to know that these speakers have worked flawlessly. Hear natural depth and total clarity in all your audio. The 3-driver bookshelf speakers include a rigid 5.12 in MRC woofer for dynamic bass, along with a 0.98 in tweeter and 0.75 in super-tweeter designed to reproduce High-Resolution Audio tracks. Supported by a compact footprint and up to 100 W input power handling, these speakers truly are the perfect match for any room. Thanks for choosing Sony. ~Ralph
Returned without use
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Writing a review for these isn't really fair. I thought the 'rocketfish' wireless system would allow these speakers to be wireless, but it did not so I returned them for the system I needed.

Decent speakers, but not great
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If the port was on the side or front instead of on the back, these would be good surround speakers. They are midrange heavy. Treble range is decent and bass response isn't the best.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendGood for the price
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These speakers are not bad for the price I paid. Definitely not high end. I wish they had more dynamic range, maybe that will improve as they get broken in.
I would recommend this to a friendWorks GREAT!!!!
