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.

Remarkable sound for $75
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Use these as side surround speakers paired to an Onkyo 686 with Jamo S803 fronts and a BIC America 12” sub. They sound fantastic for only $75. Very crisp and clear highs.

Great speakers for both surround sound and music
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought these a little while ago because I had already replaced my center channel with a larger speaker and I wanted to Balance out my front stereo channels. I've listened to these in movies and music, and they work great in both situations. I find myself actually listening to music more now because these work just as well in Stereo modeas they do in surround. If you're buying these for a surround sound system be sure to pick up the matching center channel as well.

Well received
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Need a pair of cans that'll do the job right on a budget? This is it. On sale at $75, paired with a $40 receiver with Bluetooth, add in a $40 AT record player and I had myself a fantastic, versatile audio setup on a budget. The sound on these is smooth and energetic, and can be paired with just about any Class D receiver, really. As unpowered speakers, you need a receiver, actually. A must for college students looking to blast music in their room or dorm, who know what they're doing when it comes to an old-school audio setup.

Sound amazing for the price.
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These sound incredible and blow any other speaker I've tried out of the water. Disclaimer, I haven't tried many audiophile grade speakers, but these will sound better than any phone speaker or Bluetooth speaker for the price. The only small complaint is how the bass is a little weak, though it is still quite clear. To be expected though.

GREAT! Front Stage Speakers!
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Cleanest sounding bookshelves speakers which rivals other high end bookshelves speakers...I really enjoy the bright highs it reproduces. I paired these SSCS5 speakers to my retro pioneer VSX-455 as my front speakers in 5.2 setup and it sound amazing. In movies it makes all sounds effects sound clear and crisp... in gaming as well. If your wondering what makes the noticable difference in sound compared to others bookshelves speakers...it's all thanks to SONY crossover inside. I have no cons for this product. Planning to get another pair when they go on sale again from Bestbuy.
