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.

Great speakers for the price.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Since I purchased my Sony speakers I have not had a chance to hook them up yet. I am remodeling my basement. But I am giving them 4 stars because I did listen to them at Best Buy before I purchased them. Also the gentleman that waited on me was so helpful. Thanks to him I know exactly how to set them up for the best quality sound. So as I remodel I can run all my speaker wires exactly where they should be. I am getting anxious to see how they will sound. Very happy with Best Buy so far.

Great Bookshelf Spearkers.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I currently have a Sony Distribution Receiver. I needed bookshelf size Front Side Speakers. After discussing the different qualities of several speakers and examining the store display models, I opted to go with the Sony which has the proper ranges and works well with my current receiver.

Awesome speakers
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am using these as rear channels in a 5.1 setup and they really do sound good.
