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.

Posted .Awesome, Tavo! Thank you for the 5-star rating! It's amazing to hear you like the incredible audio and how very compact and space-efficient these speakers are for easy installation in tight spots. Despite their compact size, they offer a wide frequency response, right down to 53Hz, making them an ideal choice when you don’t want to sacrifice sound quality for space. At first listen, these new Core Series speakers will make your favorite audio tracks unfold throughout your listening environment, thanks to precise instrument reproduction, positioning, and even depth relative to an expansive soundstage. Thank you so much for your purchase! -Jess

Good bookshelf speakers
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I recently set-up my 7.2 surround sound using a STRDH770 and Sony Core Series speakers. These 4 speakers produce excellent sound; however, they are larger than most shelf speakers. This makes them hard to position in the room. Would not be as much of a problem if they had a bracket for mounting.
