Posted .HI Basskicker, Thanks for sharing your feedback on your experience using the SS-CS3. We're glad that you like the looks of the speaker. We are sorry if the bass sound of our SS-CS3 Floor-standing Speakers did not live up to your expectations. Some of these issues may occur if the input source you are playing has less bass sound. To improve the bass sound experience, we highly recommend adding a subwoofer like the SA-CS9 115W 10” Active Subwoofer to the home theater setup. You’ve purchased a speaker series versatile enough to deliver an unprecedented and real audio experience, with a soundstage so expansive you can feel the energy and passion of the original performance. Prepare to hear vocals come alive with our wide dispersion Super tweeter! We value your feedback, and we will surely take note of your feedback as we always strive to make this a better experience. Thanks for choosing Sony! -Jess

Posted .Hi 46and2, We appreciate your feedback on this SS-CS3 Stereo Floor-Standing Speaker. These speakers include tweeters with high sound pressure, achieved through a variety of weight reduction techniques, including the integration of a more powerful magnetic circuit and a lighter CCAW (copper-clad aluminium wire) in the voice coil. Experience authentic, full-frequency audio with this versatile 3-way coaxial, 4-driver speaker system. Wide dispersion super tweeters provide high-quality audio across a wider sound stage, while mica-reinforced woofer cones deliver a deeper low end. Optimized crossover components help ensure minimal signal loss. Thank you for choosing Sony. Jay

The baseline
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After trying and failing many times to get DALI speakers from Best Buy, they were unable to get me the right colors for those due to SKU issues in their inventory that are still not resolved over a year later. So I got these open box Sonys instead and saved a bunch of money in exchange for a slightly more boring look and experience. Whatever.

Perfect addtion to surround system for clarity.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My surround sound system was missing the clarity while using 4 Sony bookshelf speakers along with the center bar and sub. You could barely hear voices no matter the settings. I figured I'd try and replace 2 of the bookshelf speakers with these and what a difference. Voices are clear and crisp now even with the lows and midrange turned up for that booming sound you feel from the sub.

Posted .Hi FS24, Great! We're glad that you love the speakers. The speakers impedance is 6 ohms, when matching speakers and Audio/Video (A/V) receivers, the ohm rating of the speaker should be equal to or greater than the ohm rating of the receiver. Thank you for choosing Sony. Erin

Wow
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have owned many speaker systems and these towers are great! I have four of these towers and the core center with two of the 10" subs powered by an older harman/ kardon reciever. It has ridiculous sound quality and power...cant explain it enough. Worth the money for sure.
