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 downsize from our huge speakers
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.They give good sound for our radio and CD player. We had to downsize from our big floor speakers because we needed something for on our entertainment center. They were the perfect size.

Entry level speakers
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Speakers are clear and attractive. Just little bass sound so you will need to complete your system with woofer. Perfect for the bedroom or office space but not meant for a surround sound system that will rock out.

Great value
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great little speaker for the price, but you will need a sub. They are definitely a great way to introduce someone to great sounding music and audio. I bought these to play music at BBQs, but I'm currently enjoying them connected to my TV.

Punching above their weight!
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These "budget" speakers perform way above their punching weight. The super tweeters project stunningly realistic depictions of stringed instruments and vocals. Great as a standard surround speaker in a home theater setup. Construction is solid and acceptable for the price point. Only downside is that they don't have a huge bass presence. If you are running a dedicated subwoofer in your setup then that is not an issue. Hard to find any speakers under $200 a pair that will outperform the SS-CS5's.

Love them but missing one thing.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent sound, vast improvement over my former front satellite speakers. The only thing missing is a way to mount them on a wall. I had to wait a week before install for a wall mount device to be delivered.
