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.

Amazing for the price
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I wasn't sure about Sony speakers at first. I got mine on anopen box for $130. Sounded better than the klipsch (the klipsch were more expenseive too). A very warm natural sound. These are great entry level audiophile sound.

Great for home theater
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Upgraded from an “all-in-one” Sony surround setup to individual components and the sound is so much better. More deep and immersive and goes with projector nicely.

Great Speakers
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound range on these speakers is great.
