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
||Posted . Owned for 10 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The upper range clarity is as good as it gets under 1k. The mids could be more thick and the bass needs alot more texture and clarity. Overall amazing bargain.

GOOD PRODUCT
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I haven't had a chance to use the speakers very much yet however when I hooked up the system and tested them they seemed to have a good sound quality. I'm not pushing them with a large amp and I won't be playing them loudly but they adequately perform for their intended use. I thik they were a good purchase aty as good price.

Great budget speaker
