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.

Sony does it again!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've grown up with Sony and I love these Hi Res audio speakers... works very well with my Pioneer Elite receiver. They did sound a little high hooking them up straight out of the box but used the EQ to lower the tone down a bit.
