- Sony’s new CS speakers vary from $ 229 to $ 279
- Bookshelf, floor, center and atmos-speaker models
- Larger speakers are Hi-Res Audio certified
SonyThe popular CS series of Home Theater and Stereo Speakers has just grown with the arrival of four brand new models: Bookshelfluidpeakers, floorstaters, atmos -rising speakers and a center speaker too.
Sony says that the new speakers bring “studio quality sound in the house”, and I am happy to hold that they stick to Sony’s trademark “Each color for as long as the black” is and make the middle speaker the same width as their AV receivers, which is a nice touch if you like AV set-up that is visible.
The best part is that they all have an impressive range of drivers and extremely reasonable prices, despite the fact that Sony generally comes in more at the premium end of the home cinema options.
The new speakers are:
- SS-CS5M2 Boekplaplank Speakers
- SS-CS3M2 Floor Loudspeaker
- SS-CS8M2 Center-Channel speaker
- SS-CSEM2 Dolby Atmos Upfiring Speakers
Sony’s new CS series speakers: what is new and how much?
The speakers of the CS5M2 book board are $ 249.99 per pair and have a three-way design with a 5.12-inch woofer, a soft dome tweeter and a broad dispersion super tweeter. They are certified for Hi-Res Audio and have a frequency response from 53Hz to 50,000Hz.
The CS3M3 floor stands are Vierweg, with a second 5.12-inch woofer and a bass reflex housing, and again they are HI-res audio certified. The frequency response is 45Hz to 50,000 Hz. The catalog price is $ 279.99 per speaker (so around $ 560 for a pair).
The center -channel speaker, the CS8M2, has a Twin 3.94 “woofers and a very accurate tweeter; there is a bass reflex housing around the back. The single speaker is $ 229.99.
Last but not least, there are the CSEM2-on-Firing Dolby Atmos speakers for $ 249.99 per pair. Each speaker comes with a loudspeaker of 3.94 “and they are designed to sit on top of other CS speakers, or they can mount on the wall/ceiling.
All four speaker models are now available in the US, although we do not yet have confirmation of a release in other countries.
The only thing that is particularly lacking is a subwoofer. The SA-CS9 subwoofer from Sony is not really available anymore, so it is surprising that a new model was not revealed here.
