What customers are saying

The speakers provide clear, crisp, and balanced audio reproduction across the frequency range, with good bass response. They deliver a powerful, room-filling sound suitable for both music and home theater use. The speakers have a sleek, compact design that fits well in various room setups and can be used as the main front speakers in a surround sound system or as standalone stereo speakers. Many recommend pairing the towers with a subwoofer to further enhance the low-end performance.

    The best real audio quality for the money.

    Reviewed by - April 30, 2024

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased four of these along with so many other Sony products to create the ultimate real audio experience. I must admit that these speakers remind me of the 80’s jamming to the best rock bands at that time They definitely surprised me with their performance and sound. It’s amazing to watch movies with these as well.

    Home Theater Experience for an Achievable Price

    Verified BuyerReviewed by - August 29, 2021

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’d consider myself an average movie watching person that appreciates good sound but I’m not fancy enough to care or understand the details that advanced audiophiles rant and/or rave about. I think most people are like that. I imagine if you’re shopping for Sony Core Series speakers, you’re probably like that too. I’m here to tell you that buying these is a great idea. I purchased these floorstanding speakers alongside all the other Sony Core Series speakers when they were on sale on Memorial Day to quickly create a budget 5.1.2 Atmos setup for my movie nights. Some speakers were purchased open box, which were cheaper, and put the total 5.1.2 speaker setup cost at $497. I figured at that price point I can’t complain if it sounds subpar, and it wouldn’t financially hurt much to fully replace them down the road with something fancier if I so desired. However, after having used the setup for around 2 months through countless movies and video games, I am absolutely in love. These are the definition of punching above their weight. Now, again, I’m not fancy enough to tell you the details of how and why these are so great; I could throw around audio terminology all day but you and I both know I would be talking out of my butt. It’s simple: these provide an auditory experience beyond my normal-person needs. My home has become an exciting and engaging movie-viewing hotspot for all friends and family, and that’s what it’s all about.

    Used to owning “hand me downs.”

    Verified BuyerReviewed by - December 30, 2017

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So after owning second hand and hand me downs, I finally decided to let loose of some money and buy a new system. I was originally going to go with Klipsch, but I’m glad I made this choice instead. I enjoy the mids, and highs the speakers produce (The sound fills our space with no problem. We live in a 1400 soft Townhouse). I spent multiple hours with the “burn in”, and there is a great quality of sound that they reproduce. I purchased four of the towers, a couple bookshelves, and center (I already had a nice subwoofer). I married them up with the Onkyo TX-NR656 (7.2 ch) receiver. As of yesterday I finished off our entertainment area with the Samsung UN65MU8000 television. Everything looks and sounds great!! I would definitely purchase again, and recommend to a friend.

    Excellent Mid range towers

    Reviewed by - March 20, 2016

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First off wow! When you hear these speakers for the first time you'll notice how crisp and clear they are. The mids and highs are excellent. Theirs a lot of detail and clarity. The bass is great for their size. Theirs a good kick to them. But don't expect a huge boom. Remember these speakers are 5 inch's not 8 or 10 inch's. I would recommend these for movies, but for playing music a subwoofer would be nice for that little extra kick. But overall these speakers are a step or two above a starter/ beginner set. If you are looking for that perfect mid range tower speakers these are a must have.

    Versatile speaker for anything

    Verified BuyerReviewed by - December 31, 2021

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was surprised with the price tag of this floor speaker. The power 145w was a grace. I connected it with my Roland digital piano with 300w Class D amp. The sound was perfect for the budget. I do love the sleek design and sound. Thank you BestBuy. It my my best buy of this year!
