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.

Sony speakers
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These smaller speakers produce a loud beat! Be sure to check out the back of them. There are 2 ways to hook them to a stereo. Copper wire which is pretty easy to attach or particular jacks that will fit.

Impressive!
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought the Sony Core Series speakers from the floorstanding towers to the center channel to the bookshelf speakers to the subwoofer to pair with the Sony STR-DN1080 AVR for a Dolby Atmos 5.1.2 setup and the sound is amazing! I upgraded from a Sony soundbar and what a difference! I am definitely impressed and glad I switched! Get the entire setup on special to make it even more worth it!

Great all around speakers.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.A great steal as an openbox. Using with a Denon avr-s750h as the left and right channel in a 7.2, great addition to my home theater. Using for movies, music, and games. Great improvement over my 14 year old jbl speakers and I am hearing things I never heard before. Will keep these in the configuration for the foreseeable future.

Don't sleep on this one. Get some.
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Fantastic Speakers, I was just comparing them to my big Paradigm towers and they stand up well although they surely can't deliver the bass that big towers would. For bookshelf speakers these are excellent. These will embarrass speakers that are twice as expensive, I would buy the towers if I didn't already have a bunch of speakers already.

Great investment
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased these speakers to replace the speakers which came with the Sony system we've had for about 25 years. The sound is much better and they're much smaller than the originals. Very satisfied.

Sony 5” 3 way speakers
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sounds wonderful in my home. This is my first home without built in in-wall speakers, so buying these was like comparing apples to oranges. But they handle the components well, and sound great. I only wish they had had white speakers as black gets so dusty.

Great back speakers
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Standing at 13 inches, they might be a little large for some folks (not me), but just an FYI. The sound, however, is great. Crystal clear and with a lot of power for a small price. I definitely recommend placing them on speaker stands for the best sound and ability to direct the positioning.
