Good but not great
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Well, I had high expectation from this speaker! It is not as powerful as I thought. But I will give 3 stars because of the price. I guess I'm okay with the speakers given the price I paid. Hope it was less bulky and had better sound performance

Bad return policy for a good customer
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased a pair of the Sony core series speakers and didn’t open the box until two months later as they were a gift. One speaker did not work. Upon returning it to the store I was told the only option I had was to send it out for repair, since it was past the 15 day return policy. I feel this is very poor customer service. So much for trying to shop at brick and mortar stores. I’ll buy my next electronics from Amazon.

Perfect fit
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are tall speakers narrow enough to fit where you need them and high enough to hear what they're saying in the movies

Solid Mids and Highs on these speakers Speakers
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Like so many speakers including mid-range quality towers these do not produce a good bass. I have a need for good sub-woofer for such things. The mids and highs are very good on these speakers. They are clear and the 3 way cross-over does the trick nicely. Here is something to consider: 6 Ohms. Most newer model amplifiers systems have auto-settings that handle this. Make sure after hooking up to do a sound and system re-configuration. These speakers will greatly change the way the room sounds. Run the auto-setup and then tweak it to your desires. I did this on my system and love the results. Some people use these in center mode and others use them in Left/Right mode. I have a 5:1 system. I use them in Left/Right mode. I have 7 speakers and a sub-woofer. I have Martin Logan ceiling speakers (5). The center speaker for me is in the ceiiling. If you are familiar with the high quality of Martin Logan you can guess I am a picky audiophile. Why would I not spend 1500.00 for some nice Electro-statics then? There is always the need. I don't have 3K to spend right now. I have a decent home theater system. Almost everything is Sony. These speakers are 5/5 stars for price and quality.
