Solid Quality Bookshelf Speakers with a kick and very good sound output…Great buy too…Works great in the basement or living room…Great acoustics wit our Sony Receiver
GMCT –
Great starter set of speakers. Does not need a sub, but can benefit from one. 55Hz min a very nice.

I bought a set to pair with a vintage turntable. Since I don’t listen to my LP’s much I was primarily interested in affordability rather than quality.
These are VERY LOUD! Even when powered with a mini FOSI amplifier, they are very efficient, and so do not require much power to fill a room with music. I am using a tube pre-amp, which makes my modest system sound like a vintage power receiver system. With rock, this is perfect.
One more thing – my hearing is impaired, so I really here the low end of the sonic spectrum. But to me they are more than pleasing.
Hope this helps a potential buyer. In my opinion, for a modest amount of money, you can get something to use while you save up for a better pair, like Polk or Klipsch.

Couldn’t be happier. Hooked it up to a 70’s Marantz. The sound is wonderful. Basically idiot proof.
Carguy –
These are good for a single room for music and tv.

Great speakers that worked fantastic with my Denon receiver. I’m going to buy the front center speaker to complete the set. Easy set up.

MiguelR –
Great bookshelf speaker, sounds great no issues would recommend for value speakers
Masimie –
I did some homework prior to purchasing these speakers, so I gave them a try. My system consists of SONY front and rear speakers, ELAC center speaker, SK subwoofer. With a Denon receiver, and what a sound!!! The SONY speakers have exceptional clarity for there price-point…
YiuC –
Good deal and quality products as a bookshelf speaker.
LawrenceG –
Fantastic sound. So much better than the much larger speakers I had before. I love them.
Guam –
These speakers really upped my home theater system. Unfortunatley i dont have a huge space to take advantage of the full capabilities, but it floods the room with quality sound.
JamesY –
I saw a lot of positive reviews on these speakers, a lot. It’s true, These speakers sound better than my last pair, and they were three times the price of these.
TinaK –
Bought the speakers for my son for Christmas. Great sound and he loves them.
Meateater –
Completed my total Sony core speaker surround sound. I hear music in a totally new way, fantastic. Highly recommend the Sony core sound system
StephanieD –
Great speakers! Great sound and easy set up! Like them a lot!
BigJoeRambler –
Really nice speakers for the price. I read the reviews online, but still had my doubts about these at this price point. You’re stealing when you get these speakers. Great deal, great sound. Paired with Fluance RT-82 turntable through STR-DH190 receiver
Steven –
I have them setup as rear surrounds in. 5.2 system and they work great.
RocketDawg420 –
Bought these speakers along with a Sony receiver to upgrade my record player set-up and the sound improvement is incredible! Great sound and bass. Connected easily to my receiver as well.
OfferUp –

Misty that’s really sounds good thank you very much and I thank God for Best Buy I wish I would have had my center speaker but that’s all right I’ll try again to get another one I’m glad it’s three way speakers make me want to get the floor stand and speak also
tractor –
amazing speakers, great sound small component with a great sound
Teksun –
Great quality speakers and built in crossovers. Literally the only thing not making these cost hundreds more is the cheap pressed wood material the box is made of. As long as they stay dry they should be great speakers for years to come.
RobertG –
Great bookshelf speakers I enjoy the sound that comes out of them
Blake1016 –
Picked these up on an open box deal…look and sound fantastic for mids and highs!! Would still need to purchase a subwoofer if you wanted to hear deep bass.
AllenW –
Great little speakers with a big sound. Only caveat is that speaker wires do not come included
user529633 –
Top notch sound for quality speakers at a reasonable price!
KennethT –
Great price and sound from these speakers. Highly recommend
BrianaW –
These speakers work phenomenally!
I love the feature of being able to turn the bass and treble up and down!
The bass works so well too!! Blue tooth connects to my vinyl and phone so easily. Perfect speakers.
TracyR –
Quantity for quality. If you are looking for an entry system this will suit the needs, but if you are someone who gets a taste of something and desires more you will try to expand on your audio entertain. Great entry level to eventually expand on to surround sound.
Sree –
Google online for crossover upgrade options to take it next level!!
kman –
Christmas present for my grandson. they have a good sound.
Greg –
Very nice. Just what I needed for a set up to listen to vinyl again. I am a fan of Sony products.
Madhu –
Crystal clear . Connect to my lg tv feels like we are in theater
Wood –
I have owned these speakers for over two years now and I can honestly say that they are still some of the best speakers that I’ve owned. I’ve bought and sold many speakers at this point and currently have MartinLogan’s Motion XT series in my living room. Despite that, I still own these speaker and still listen to them daily. They are that good.
They’re not on the same level as the Motions, as well they shouldn’t be. There’s a $4,300 difference, but I think it needs to be pointed out that I still use these despite owning those too.
I think you definitely should wait until they go on sale. It does happen pretty often and it makes the value of them that much better. They’re also easy to drive and can pair well with pretty much any type of amplifier. I’ve had them paired with a Sony STR-DH590, a cheap ChiFi amp, a Marantz NR1711, and a Cinema 40. They sound great on all of them so rest assured that no matter what you pair with them, you’ll have a good time. I can’t say enough good things about these speakers.
tbh they do need a sub tho
RobertoP –
I like them. Looked at tons of reviews comparing to Elac ( more expensive) Numi, Polk, Micca etc. The pundits say is not a good speaker; no base; no stage presence, too loud on the high end, etc. A lot of negative reviews are based on trying to use this speaker as home theater or in big rooms. Look these are only 120 bucks and are entry level. For my use in a small office they are great. Plenty of bass, maybe a little bright on female vocals. I don’t know why many say there is no bass, I guess they want to shake their house foundations but for normal music listening they sound great, especially in a small room (which they are designed for) Are super hifi? well, no. Do they have booming bass? No; but they have a pleasant sound. I would not pay $200 for them though.
MichaelP –
Purchased an Open Box item, delivered to my door and the Speakers Sound Great !
Nedele –
This is continued from the 2 channel receiver review. It ended with guilt. My wife was feeling bad from mental illness and family members coming to live with us and said to buy all the high end stuff you want. I didn’t got these and the wails of the dying ended.
CandyS –
Sound just as good as our Yamaha speakers. Fit great on the bookshelf.
Unknown –
sound good for the price sony core series 3 way bookshelf speakers
Paty –
These speakers were hooked up to an old Technics record player. The size of the speakers fit perfectly, easy to hookup and the sound is great! Just in time for Christmas – listened to Nat King Cole and Johnny Mathis!
MollieC –
So excited I can listen to my CDs again. Great sound.

These are great little bookshelf speakers. I use them for background music. They pick up a lot of times the old speakers ignored.
