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 core series 5 inch 3 way bookshelf speakers
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought these bookshelf speakers to go with my 200 watt per channel, 7.2 home theater receiver. I had my doubts about them being able to handle that much power..for the money they are great and they are a very nice addition to my system. They rock the house even in a 5.1 configuration.
