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.

Good sound
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was surprised of the good sound coming out of these little speakers. I got them on sale and you couldn't beat the price. Was really impressed on how far speakers of common the last 15 years :-) I had an old pair of Bose 301, and these actually sound better. You will definitely need a subwoofer. I like their sound and had a subwoofer here connected it and went wow.

Sony speakers are the best!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great sound in a small package. Sony is the way to go! I was concerned that I had to strip wires to hook up speakers, so I enlisted my brothers help - he has the tools. It was easier than we thought. As a plus, the Best Buy store associate got the wire for me and showed me exactly how to do it.

Sony Speakers are a excellent value.
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased these speakers for my basement "Mancave". Hung them on the wall and they cover the whole basement with quality sound. Minor disadvantage there is no hanger on the back to hang them on the wall. But they are advertised as bookshelf speakers. Otherwise this is a very good value.

Excellent speakers at this price point.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These speakers were paired with a Sony STR-DH190 receiver for listening to albums and radio broadcasts. Excellent configuration for the price point. The receiver would probably not be the first choice for a home theater system.

Sleeper speakers

A Great Entry Level Speaker
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought these to go with a Sony Audio Receiver I bought at the same time at BB. I got these on sale at the time and a few weeks later (currently) they are on a steeper sale which BB honored and refunded me the difference for them! These are more than adequate for the size room that I have them in and work great for my CD Collection and using them with my TV!

Beautiful sounding speakers

Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Beautiful full, rich sound from speakers with a slightly smaller footprint and profile. Great bass response. Even if not used in a surround-sound setup, these speakers provide great sound for a living room system.

Great speakers for the front end of any high fi
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Might be a little bigger than you need for a computer book-end speaker, but the sound is great. High end is clear and the woofers get down to a low end that rivals some sub-woofers.
