Initially, I had the front ones on top of my speakers but I did not get the desired ATMOS effect. However, when I mounted them on MAYQMAY Height Adjustable floor stands (got these also here at desertcart), I finally got the desired ATMOS 3D sound. I experimented with them pointed on the seating position too but settled on them pointed up towards my slanted ceiling. The stands are behind and slightly to the side of the TV for the front pair. The rear pair are on a bookshelf also close to the ceiling. These speakers are surprisingly heavy for their size and come with wall mounting brackets and rubber spacers. Highly recommended! Review: I bought these at $168 during OCT prime and not the $278 listed (or $199 they are right now as of this review a few days after sale ) My father was an audiophile for decades, along with being a mechanic. I learned a lot of my life from him about quality audio components, but i suck at writing detailed reviews in order to persuade people to buy a product. I will start by saying, i don't know everything. I know a little, or enough, about many things. Many times, i do lots of research and become very well informed on the products i intend to buy. I strive for Quality, while also lookin for value. CHEAP , doesn't mean "Bad". nor does "Expensive" mean the best there is. With that said, these SS-CS5M2 bookshelf speakers are for my PC. I've been rocking Logitech Z-5300 5.1 for nearly 22 years. I bought them brand new. several years ago i ditched the rear channels (speakers still work) and just maintained 3.1 setup. THey sound good for gaming and movies, but i finally wanted something better. I've had much better for my home cinema setup, so i never bothered with my pc, but it's time to retire these logitech. After many YT video reviews, i enjoyed the YT channel ChepAudioMan the most. With another reviewer that gave more in-depth technical analysis and i chose these speakers. As well as the CS8M2 Center channel to be paired with my 13 year old Sony STR-DH520 AVR. After i got these setup and my AVR setup the way i like, WOW ! I know how "bad" my logitech were going to be compared to these, but compared to my theater system, just wow. Strengths Clarity & Detail in Mid/Highs Thanks to the tweeter + super tweeter arrangement, vocals, acoustic guitars, cymbals, and other high-frequency detail tend to come through quite cleanly. The “extra” super tweeter helps extend the sense of air and sparkle without sounding artificially bright (at least in well-treated rooms). In many test tracks, fine details in cymbal overtones and string harmonics were audible. Wide Soundstage / Dispersion Because of the super tweeter and driver layout, the SS-CS5M2 tends to have a broad “sweet spot” and a more open “soundstage” feel than many conventional small bookshelf speakers. Off-axis listening (i.e. not perfectly centered) remains usable. Good Build & Design for the Price The cabinets feel solid for their class, with good internal bracing. Aesthetically, they are understated and likely to blend into many setups without being too flashy. Decent Mid-Bass for Small Rooms / Paired with Sub In smaller rooms (say 10 × 12 ft, or smaller), the woofer and cabinet do a respectable job providing musical low frequencies (bass to low-mid) — though not earth-shaking. For many listeners, a subwoofer will fill in what’s missing below ~ 50–60 Hz. Trade-offs & Limitations Bass Limitations While the 5.12″ woofer is competent, in larger rooms or for bass-heavy genres (electronic, hip-hop, orchestral weight) the speakers won’t deliver deep, room-shaking bass. The reliance on a separate subwoofer becomes more of a necessity in many use cases. Potential for Brightness / Fatigue Because of the super tweeter and three-way design, some listeners report the highs being a bit “bright” or forward, especially with more aggressive recordings. If your source / amplification is on the bright side, this could accentuate sibilance or cymbal harshness. (Some real-world users note this “bright house sound” tendency in Sony’s speaker heritage.) Audio Science Review Sensitivity / Power Needs These are not ultra-sensitive “loud with little power” speakers. To get decent dynamic range and headroom, you’ll benefit from a quality amplifier that can deliver clean power, especially if you push them. Room & Placement Sensitivity As with many small / compact speakers, performance depends heavily on placement, room acoustics, and speaker stands. Rear port means you’ll want some space behind them (distance from wall) to avoid port interference or “boomy” lows. Value & Verdict For what Sony is charging, the SS-CS5M2 offers impressive bang for the buck. The fact that you’re getting a 3-way design, a super tweeter for extended treble, and solid construction in this price tier is notable. Many competing bookshelf speakers in the same range lean toward simpler 2-way designs. If you match them with a good amplifier, manage room placement carefully, and pair them sensibly (especially with a subwoofer), they can deliver a lively, engaging, and detailed audio experience that far exceeds what many expect from “budget / entry-level” speakers. However, they are not miracle workers. If you need deep extension or intend to drive them very loudly in a large hall, their limitations will show. Also, if you are super sensitive to brightness, depending on your source gear you might find them a bit forward in the top end. Overall: A strong recommendation in their class — for many listeners, these could be “speakers you get and keep,” especially if you build around their strengths. ## Features - Center-channel speaker (single) - 2-way, 3 driver center-channel speaker system - Two 3.94 in. woofers boosts low-end frequencies - High precision tweeter for faithful vocal reproduction - Bass reflex enclosure for distortion-free, low frequency sound - Premium componentry ensures premium sound - Reinforced cellular cone for undistorted audio - Perfect match with Sony AV receivers - Compact design for small spaces ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0F8PRSP9X | | Antenna Location | For surround sound systems | | Audio Driver Size | 10 Centimetres | | Audio Driver Type | Dynamic Driver | | Best Sellers Rank | 118,446 in Electronics & Photo ( See Top 100 in Electronics & Photo ) 72 in Floorstanding Hi-Fi Speakers | | Box Contents | speaker | | Brand Name | Sony | | Compatible Devices | Home Theater, Television | | Connectivity Protocol | Coaxial | | Control Method | Touch | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (1,193) | | Is Waterproof | false | | Item Dimensions D x W x H | 22D x 43W x 14.6H centimetres | | Item Weight | 196 Ounces | | Manufacturer | Sony | | Maximum Speaker Output Power (in watts) | 290 Watts | | Model Name | SSCS8M2 | | Model Number | SSCS8M2.UC | | Mounting Type | Tabletop Mount | | Network Connectivity Technology | Coaxial | | Number of Audio Channels | 5.1, 7.1 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Power Source | Corded Electric | | Speaker Size | 8.66 Inches | | Speaker Type | Woofer, Center Channel, Bookshelf | | Specific Uses For Product | Home Theater, Multi-Room Audio, Surround Sound | | UPC | 027242932593 | | Unit Count | 1.0 count | | Warranty Type | Limited | | Wireless Technology Type | No Wireless Communication Technology | | Woofer Driver Diameter | 3.94 Inches | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Sony - **Compatible devices:** Home Theater, Television - **Connectivity technology:** Coaxial - **Model name:** SSCS8M2 - **Mounting type:** Tabletop Mount - **Recommended uses for product:** For surround sound systems - **Speaker maximum output power:** 290 Watts - **Speaker type:** Woofer, Center Channel, Bookshelf - **Surround-sound channel configuration:** 5.1, 7.1 - **Unit count:** 1.0 count ## Images ![CS8M2 2-Way 3-Driver Center Channel Speaker, 2025 Model - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71xS8TuYI3L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by C***R on 22 December 2023* I got two pairs of these speakers to use as Dolby ATMOS height speakers.
