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.

Outstanding sound for the price
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These speakers are well worth the cheap price ! Yes, they are Sony and made over seas but the overall build quality and sound are what makes them shine. Bought them for a small setup in the bedroom to listen to vinyl using just these speakers and a 1970s pioneer amp. Couldn’t be happier.

Open box...
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was skeptical to purchase these speakers because the box was labeled "open box" However after I got home, I was unsure why they were labeled open box because the seal was not even broken. Definitely glad I took a chance. They sound great although you will have to buy banana plugs and make new cables for them.

Impressive sound for this piece point
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Impressive sound. I thought there were great in midrange and top end. Bass is also good and specially if you free them with a based focused amplifier. For the price it is a great deal. Females vocals are a delight!

Great speakers but large for rear surround
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’m happy with these speakers. I use them for the back surround sound so I don’t get much use from them, but they do have a powerful sound. I would prefer smaller rear speakers but that’s up to your own setup.
