Q: Is it compatible with all brand amplifiers?
A: Hello Sp, Thank you for considering Sony products! We appreciate your inquiry and are happy to assist. The Sony SS-CS3M2 Floor-Standing speakers are designed to be compatible with a broad range of amplifiers and AV receivers, including those from other brands. While they are optimized for use with Sony AV receivers and the CS series, these speakers can be paired effectively with many different amplifier manufacturers. To achieve the best sound quality, it’s important to ensure your amplifier’s specifications align with the speaker’s impedance and power handling. The SS-CS3M2 speakers feature a 6-ohm impedance and recommend an amplifier power of around 100 watts per channel. For detailed compatibility and performance guidance, we recommend consulting the user manuals of both your amplifier and the speakers.

I wanted some Sony speakers. My preference is stereo 2 channels driven. These SS-CS3M2 which are made in Vietnam are a revision of the SSCS3 which were made in Malaysia. I purchased a pair of the SSCS3 last yr. They were not compatible with my 120W receiver amplifier set at 6 ohms. So I returned them. I am not a fan of 5 inch driver 6 ohm speakers with oxygen free copper clad aluminum wire. The days of the 3 ways with the 8 inch drivers is over. So to safe harbor. I had my doubts. It was a no brainer. Found a open box STR-DH190 for $125. So with 2 channels driven approx 100 W 6 ohms find inaudible distortion. Which is exactly what I am after. This Sony stereo system sounds closer to 80 W instead of 100 W. The sound quality is excellent through all the frequencies. There is a limitation of bass that can be produced by a two 5 inch drivers and the speaker cabinet. The engineering is impressive for the bass output. Which can be expected. The speakers are compact. Perfect for a small apartment. I have this Sony system in a small bedroom. The neighbors are probably not going to complain. So these speakers matched with the STR-DH190 makes a decent stereo system for about $800.

I like the sound quality this produces, I didn't need anything too fancy for it was just mainly used to watch tv and some YouTube.
