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.

Great for half off
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Noticed the difference from my previous satellite speakers instantly. Got them half off and at that price it was absolutely worth the purchase. Waiting on the sale to happen again so I can buy another pair for my back surround.

Absolutely Fabulous!
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had a Theater in a box Onkyo system which had speakers that were just mud. The reciever is excellent, so I picked up a pair of Sony ssc 3 way speakers and these speakers sprang to life! Was so impressed I bought the midrange too. I use the original woofer and I can tell you that when listening to jazz piano it is just like you are there. I turn out the lights and you are there! Texture and sound like you never heard before. So cool!

Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Was leaning towards purchasing the Polk T15's until I read the reviews on the Sony Core 3 way book shelf speakers .Got a big discount savings on purchase as well . These speakers are great the sound is nice and crisp the highs and lows are fantastic. Combined them to my Onkyo receiver and my Onkyo CD Player . Later plan to hook up my 2 way Martin speakers for the full effect but for now just enjoying the SonyCore 3 way . Best investment.

Excellent speakers
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Smoother, cleaner, and more transparent sounding than all the speakers I've bought for a little more or a little less. Looks good, perfect size for me.

Amazing Speakers, would buy again.
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I use them for my home audio set up for my record player and stereo. I use an EQ in my system and these speakers allow me to express the full range and capabilities of the EQ and stereo. I have never had a problem with them clipping and these speakers can absolutely drive any sound and deliver it with a punch. 10/10 would recommend to a friend and would buy again.

Great speakers
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've used mine for a couple of years now, first with a polk sub, and, for the last month, a sony sub. They sound very good. Music is clear and loud. I've never used them without a sub, so I can't speak to how they would function as mains. I'm using a sony receiver, stereo only, so, again, can't advise for home theater use. If you pair these with a sub, and listen to music, you will be very happy.

Fantastic Speakers!
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These had great reviews, so my expectations were high. These speakers met and exceeded my very high expectations! I paired this with an old school Pioneer receiver and Onkyo tape deck, and I’m transported back to my high school days in the 70s - what amazing sound! Don’t hesitate - these speakers kick butt
