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.

Awesome value when on sale
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These sound great, especially when you can find them on sale. They do not produce great bass, so a subwoofer will be needed to fill out the low end.

Excellent sound quality and imaging for the price.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These replaced the stock front speakers in a 5.1 package I purchased. I was planning on buying the SSCS3, floor model, but found a few reviews online that claimed the SSCS5's were less muddy in the low mids so I gave them a shot. I might still be happy with how they sound if I had spent 3x more.

But honestly I love music.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is continued from the 2 channel receiver review. It ended with guilt. My wife was feeling bad from mental illness and family members coming to live with us and said to buy all the high end stuff you want. I didn’t got these and the wails of the dying ended.
