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.

solid bang for the buck
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The speakers are doing well in my little family room, replacing some little Bose which my amp sizzled. The compact presence on the book shelves is unobtrusive and the music is good. I would like them a bit brighter, though.
