Sony - Core Series 5" 3-Way Bookshelf Speakers (Pair) - Black

I wanted speakers that have bass, yet the neighbors don't hear them. It just sounds clean and crisp. Movies, music award shows and singing reality shows sound so much better than the tv speakers by themselves. Thank you Sony for the quality products and service that you provide. Sony only.

I was in need of new speakers because my old bookshelves have Foam Surround rot.I didn't want the hassle of searching for new woofers because they are old so time for an upgrade. these speakers were compatible in size and specs with my old ones and are highly reviewed on the net, so I figured I'll get that much shot. I'm glad I did! they sound rich and full-bodied. I'm hearing details in my music I've never heard before! it is an excellent speaker!

I purchased a set in September 2022 and was so pleasantly surprised at the performance. They exceed my expectations, especially at the price point. I have high end floor standing speakers for times when I want the best possible experience but these were purchased for my "every day" use with a home entertainment system. I also have a small 8" powered subwoofer connected as recommended by many knowledgeable reviewers. The overall performance is stunning to me. I can heartily recommend these speakers to anyone looking for terrific performance at an affordable price point.

After almost 2 years of excellent performance with this pair of speakers, I recently got error reports from my receiver to check for loose wires (the receiver would shut down when certain frequencies where playing). After many tests I found 1 of the speakers was causing this. After contacting Sony, they quickly responded by emailing me a FedEx return label, then diagnosed the problem, and replaced the item, all under warranty at no costs to me!

The CSS5 has many favorable reviews out there. I wanted to hear them for myself. Great clarity in the upper audio band. I would have liked to see more bass extension. This would be nearly impossible with the low frequency driver used. All things considered they are a great buy, one you probably won't regret.
