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.

I've dailied these for years
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a tough review to write because I don't have any issues with these. Especially because I researched and bought the ones I wanted. These are exactly those, and I love them still today (2+ years later).

Buy these speakers !
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.What a surprise. I had my doubts. I bought these speakers for a mini audio system that I was putting together in addition to a large 7.1 home theater system. The sound from these speakers are so good, I find myself using the mini system over the 7.1. Economical and quality all in one. What a deal.

Banging without leaving your wallet hanging
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Pretty good sounding speakers. A little underpowered for a major stereo system, but very good for a starter. I had these on the same shelf as a 40 year old phonograph (cheap) and they were loud and didn't cause a disruption. However, I got a big 16 inch subwoofer on sale and they are too small for that, but work great in the kids room, especially for the price.

Pleasantly surprised
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These were a replacement for a pair of cheap Sony speakers I purchased almost 20 years ago. These speakers are a vast improvement. They sound great and are very clear. They paired up nicely with the rest of the speakers in my system. Very satisfied with my purchase and would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for affordable rears or small bookshelf speakers with great sound.

Great sounding clear speaker
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Speaker sounds very good even at high volumes no distortion. Terminals are nice and sturdy seem to have good construction but I accidentally hit a corner on my wall with one and the black vinyl or whatever they use peeled back a little. Just take care of them and it's a great product.

Can’t go wrong
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very nice speaker you can hear things in the song instruments and sounds that you normally wouldn’t hear, Great for a mid‘s and highs has bass but obviously not a deep bass but sounds very good. I think they work best in a four speaker set up has a crazy ability of sounding like it’s in a different position in the center instead of to the sides.

Superb Sound in a small package!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great speaker. Sony has come a long way. I got these to match the front towers and use them as surround and surround back, I'm even sending some low frequencies to them and they can easily handle the bass. Very crisp sound, the super tweeter is a huge plus.
