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.

Solid Sony Quality

I actually have an few year old car head unit running these (and the sub) in my living room an it all sounds way better than expected.

Great speakers!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I replaced an older set of Yamaha speakers with these. I was blown away at the improvement in sound quality. For an economical choice that still has good quality I can definitely recommend these speakers. I have since bought the entire set of core speakers from Sony. I'm completely satisfied!

Best speakers in this price range.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have been reading about these speakers in various online forums for over a year now. I was not in the market for a new set of speakers but I saw these go on sale for 1/2 price and I could not resist. My initial setup was a set of Monitor Audio R90 with matching center (made in England version) matched to a HSU VTF-2 MK5 but I always felt that there could be a little more low end out of the front main speakers. The Sonys ended filling in all the detail that was previously missing in the low range while still being very articulate in the high range without being harsh despite have a "super" tweeter. The Core series easily keeps up with speakers going for $300-500/pair. I would say they may sound just as good at lower to moderate volumes as a set of B&W DM series that I used to own. I honestly do not think you can buy a better set of speakers under $300.,

Very Nice Speakers
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought these for a lounge area at work and use them with a Bluetooth iPod nano and a Yamaha 2-channel 200w receiver. They sound great and are pretty clear even when they get loud. I can hear every part of a song and haven't had any problems with them. I would buy these for my own home.

Good Quality Speakers
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought these two speakers to replace my old small 2 Sony front speakers. They are bigger and sound better than my previous ones but not the best. They look good and can play enough sound just by the two of them for my music pleasure.

Love the sound!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.When we redid our living room we replaced our early 1980's standing floor speakers with this pair of Sony bookshelf speakers. I love the sound they produce. They sound so much better than the old speakers and they take up a fraction of the space.

Great sound for small speakers
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was a bit skeptical when I bought these. I didn't think that they would sound as nice as they do. They have a wide frequency response for bookshelf speakers. I liked them so much that I had to return to buy the matching center speaker. Now my system is complete. I couldn't be happier.

Good Sound
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Speakers are almost the perfect size, and the sound output is in a fairly large room with a very high ceiling. My only criticism is that I had to purchase wires separately.
