Sony’s CS Speaker series brings cinema sound home. Experience crisp, clear, and immersive audio that brings movies and music to life. A perfect companion to Sony AV receivers

  • 3-Way 3-Drive bookshelf speaker system: Hear natural depth and total clarity in all your audio. These 3-driver bookshelf speakers include a rigid 5.12 in woofer for dynamic bass, along with a 0.98 in tweeter and a 0.75 in super tweeter designed to bring movies and music to life.
  • 5.12 in woofer: This speaker system includes a 5.12 in woofer for deep, stable bass. Utilizing a reinforced cellular cone diaphragm, it delivers powerful bass along with the finer detail needed for clear vocals and dialog in the mid-range.
  • High precision tweeter: The 0.98 in soft dome main tweeter features polyester fiber for a more faithful, authentic sound. Precise acoustic tuning with advanced sound-absorbing felt eliminates rear sound pressure from the tweeters to ensure natural-sounding vocals.
  • Wide dispersion super tweeter: The 0.75 in wide dispersion super tweeters with wide directionality reproduce high frequency notes across an expansive soundstage.
  • Perfect match for Sony AV receivers: Sony CS speakers are a perfect match for Sony A/V receivers. Bring home theater sound together as a total package.
  • Enhanced sound pressure with reduced weight: These speakers include tweeters with enhanced sound pressure, made possible through a range of weight-reduction techniques, including a more powerful magnetic circuit and a lighter CCAW (copper-clad aluminum wire) voice coil.
  • Reinforced Cellular cone for undistorted audio: Many speakers use paper cones that flex and deteriorate over time, leading to a more distorted sound. Reinforced cellular cone woofers are rigid, holding their shape even when moving at high pressure and speed, so you can drive the bass harder without compromising audio quality.
  • Rich acoustics with strong cabinet design: The ported, all-wood enclosures are built for rich acoustics. Unwanted vibrations are dampened and absorbed thanks to a rigid structure with interior joints reinforced by solid wood. Designers also optimized the type and layout of internal sound-absorbing material to precisely control cabinet resonance.
  • Wooden finish for style and substance: These speakers feature a sleek black finish that blends with most modern interiors. The wood veneer holds its shape over time, helping preserve audio quality—even with changes in temperature and humidity.
  • High quality structure for clear sound reproduction: These speakers are built on solid foundations. A strong, ported enclosure supports rich, resonant acoustics. The rear-positioned bass reflex duct helps suppress unwanted noise and improves low-frequency performance.
  • Compact bookshelf design for small spaces: These compact bookshelf speakers are space-efficient for easy setup in tight areas. Despite their size, they deliver a wide frequency response—down to 45 Hz—making them a smart option when you want quality sound without taking up much room.
  • Hi-Res Audio: With a wide frequency response of 53-50,000 Hz these speakers faithfully reproduce high-resolution audio.
  • Premium Componentry: Premium componentry delivers premium sound—that’s why these speakers use only high-quality materials. Air-core conductors in the tweeters, a silicon steel plate in the woofers, the thickest possible winding materials, and high-grade film capacitors all contribute to exceptional performance.

Q: what's the difference between the older model (of these) and this one (2025) ??? how bout worded this way... What specs are different that makes these BETTER then the old ones ?fyi i own the older ones and they work great BUT they were only $100 set

A: Hello trustbutverify, Thank you for choosing Sony! We appreciate your question and are here to assist you. The new SSCS5M2 keeps the same 3-way design as the older SSCS5 but adds some nice upgrades: a slightly larger woofer with reinforced materials, extended bass response down to 45Hz (vs 53Hz), and a sturdier cabinet build that reduces vibrations. Overall, you’ll notice tighter bass and a bit more detail compared to the older model. For more information, you can check out the full details on our website: https://electronics.sony.com/audio/speakers/home-theater-speakers/p/sscs5m2?srsltid=AfmBOorNn0DgdbkDOLkM3hz61t2HovOhJRnh9tnVaH-futVn8loMCqET Best regards, -Fred

Q: Does the speakers come with the wires

A: Hi Chris! Thank you for reaching out with your question. We can certainly help you with that. The Sony SS-CS5M2 speakers do not come with speaker wires included. You will need to purchase standard speaker wire separately to connect them to your amplifier or receiver. We sincerely appreciate you considering a Sony product! Best regards, Estefany

Q: does this connect with Sony - Bluetooth Stereo Turntable - Black Model: PSLX310BT

A: Thank you for contacting Sony. You can connect the SSCS5M2 speakers to the PS-LX310BT, but only by using a separate amplifier or receiver. The PS-LX310BT turntable does not have a built-in amplifier to directly power passive speakers like the SSCS5M2. The SSCS5M2 are passive speakers and require an external amplifier or AV receiver to function. The PS-LX310BT can output audio via its RCA (LINE OUT) jacks, which you would connect to an amplifier, and then connect the amplifier to your SSCS5M2 speakers. Alternatively, the PS-LX310BT can connect wirelessly via Bluetooth to powered speakers or headphones that support the required Bluetooth profiles (A2DP 1.3), but not to passive speakers directly. We appreciate your interest in Sony products. Should you require any further assistance, please don't hesitate to reach out for support here: https://us.esupport.sony.com/support/s/support-contact?language=en_US&category=ht Best regards, Gus, Sony North America Customer Support

Q: Is this compatible with the Sony Bravia 6 Home Theater System? Says that these speaker have wireless connectivity. If not how would you use these wirelessly?

A: Hello Czar, Thank you for choosing Sony! We appreciate your question and are here to assist you. The Sony SS-CS5M2 speakers are not wirelessly compatible with the Sony BRAVIA Theater System 6 (HT-S60). The SS-CS5M2 are passive bookshelf speakers, meaning they require wired connections to an amplifier and do not have built-in batteries, Bluetooth, or Wi-Fi capabilities. In contrast, the BRAVIA Theater System 6 (HT-S60) is an all-in-one soundbar system that uses proprietary wireless rear speakers—such as the SS-SS60 or similar models—specifically designed to connect directly to its soundbar and wireless amplifier. Best regards, -Fred

Q: The older Sony SSCS5 had a published 87dB sensitivity (2.83V, 1m). What is the SSCS5M2 sensitivity (has it changed?).

A: Hi Louis, Thank you for reaching out with your question about the SS-CS5M2. We can certainly help you with that! For the new model is actually the same as the original SSCS5; it remains at 87 dB (2.83V, 1m). We really appreciate you thinking of Sony for your purchase! Best regards, Estefany

Q: Can I connect with Samsung soundbar for TV surround

A: Hi Jester, Thank you for your question regarding the Sony SS-CS5M2. The answer is no, you cannot connect them directly to your Samsung Soundbar. This is because the SS-CS5M2 are passive speakers (they require an external amplifier), and a soundbar is an all-in-one powered system that does not have the necessary speaker wire outputs to drive them. The Sony CS speaker series is designed and is the perfect match for a multi-channel Sony AV receiver—such as the STR-DH590, STR-DH790, or STR-AN1000. We hope you find this information helpful and thank you for considering Sony products! Regards, Dominick

  • Rated 5 out of 5 stars

    Small speakers with a Big sound.

    For the price point, these speakers have a great sound. Clean highs with a nice depth of bass. I'm pushing 100 watts per channel and they respond well. I was pleasantly surprised at how good these sound on low volume or cranked up. They look great and are a nice addition to my setup. The feet do not come with them. I put those on to reduce the vibration going to the turntable. If you are on the fence, don't be. You will not be disappointed.
