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.

    exceptional speakers, great connectors, it would be nice if they were recessed though because a flush mount on a wall is not doable with this speaker.

    These speakers were just what the doctor ordered, or actually just what my ears needed to stay warm in the cold. The sound reproduction was just as I had anticipated and were a nice addition to my sound system.

    I like some others was skeptical regarding the sound quality of speakers from Sony. However, they are surprisingly musical and easy to listen to. Without a subwoofer, you need to crank up the bass equalization to be more satisfying. Powered by an old Denon amp, I added a 10" sub and keep the EQ slightly bright for full vibrant sound. No problem listening to all styles of music. Have these in my office and listen for hours at a time. Very satisfied.
