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 speakers
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought these to go with my Sony DTR receiver as I built my own surround sound package. These speakers have an excellent range from lows to highs and hide easily without being too big.

Nice and easy
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I did some research on these before I bought them. And they have turned out to be the quality speakers I read about. I set them up to a Sony STR-DH90 receiver, with a turntable and cd to complete my system. I am past the age of wanting to feel the bass pound on my chest or share my music two blocks over, so these speakers work great for me. And they do meet my geezer moments of wanting it loud. Quite honestly some of my old original vinyl, sound better out of these speakers, than they did out of a set of high end Marantz I had for years, until they went off to college with my son. He finished college with a Master’s degree in engineering. The speakers didn’t make it past freshman year. These little Sonys are the first speakers to even come close. Be prepared if you get a set, that the hookups are all old school—copper wire to posts.

Great bookshelf speakers. Sony doesn't disappoint
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I researched bookshelf speakers in depth before purchasing these ... and as usual, the SONY brand does NOT let you down. They were rated highly in all reviews I saw and now I know why. I did have to get used to the lesser amount of bass compared to my floor speakers, but I just turned up the base on my receiver and they sound excellent.

Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After doing extensive research and watching many review videos, I chose to buy these speakers.

Seems like they go on sale quiet often.
