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.

- Pros mentioned:Bass
Ok
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am using these as studio speakers connected to a receiver that is also connected to a computer. I do a fair amount of video editing and wanted better sound for my TV and computer connected to the receiver. They are really strong on the midtones and bass which gives them a muffled low pitch sound. Can't turn the treble side up enough and when I adjust the bass side down they just don't sound good. As a back set to a home theater they might be better but as stand alone speakers there are much better. Would reccomend spending a little extra and going with the Klipsch bookshelf if you are using as stand a lone.

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Got these close to half off. Satisfied at this price. Really good performance. Much better if your room is not too much of an open space. Much better than a soundbar.
