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.

Nice speakers

Fantastic at this price
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great quality speakers and built in crossovers. Literally the only thing not making these cost hundreds more is the cheap pressed wood material the box is made of. As long as they stay dry they should be great speakers for years to come.

Amazing speakers for the price.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've had this speakers for one month, and can find no faults with them. They sound great. Crisp clear sound is what you get. If you want deep rumbling bass you will need a subwoofer. At this price point I don't think they can be beat. I'm sure there are better speakers out there, but if you are not an audiophile, and or don't want to break the bank, these simply can't be beat!

EXCELLENT Suggestion
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.When I went to the local BB store to buy speakers to replace my old, blown out bookshelf speakers, I was immediately assisted by an employee who immediately turned me on to these speakers. We sampled a few of the options available, but even ones that cost $100 more didn't sound as good as these. Got 'em home, and they sound phenomenal. If they last as long as my old ones, I'll be EXTREMELY happy.
