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.

Goes well with vintage audio equipment.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Connected these to my vintage Marantz receiver and Technics turntable and the sound is amazing. It really helps bring out the sound of my favorite amp for listening to music.

Slund great
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Used for surround sound. Look and sound great especially for the price. The universal wall mound did not work and needed to order thru Amazon but all is good. Great alternative to small surround speakers.

Sony bookshelf speakers
||Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great little speakers. My old Astec floor speakers have better bass response, but in our new digs, they'd be overkill. These are great behind the TV at each side, pointed out toward the room.

Great speakers for the $$$$$
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Better than expected sound. Maybe a little light on the low end but that's to bee expected with the size of the woofer. Highly recommend. Maybe use with a subwoofer system.
