Even cheaper than the SS-CS5, the Polk T15 is ideal if you’re on a tight budget and looking for a speaker that enhances low-end frequencies. We see fair bit of frequency response anomolifes identified by broad peaks and dips which should make them quite audible. Our dedicated team of experts has tried and tested both models inside out to provide you with an unbiased review of each. We already mentioned in this Sony SSCS5 Review that the speaker has a great bass reproduction and that is true.

Overall, R-41M provides better tonal balance, but the SSCS5 wins with its superior clarity and detail. The room response gives a picture of the steady state SPL, where sound generation and sound dissipation in the room have reached their equilibrium. The Sony SSCS5 is a bookshelf speaker that is designed for music reproduction and as a speaker for your home entertainment.Even on non-vocal recordings, the overall sound was good and full, but the treble was a little rough. Wide-Dispersion Super Tweeter Prepare yourself for natural sounding vocals that shoot straight to the heart, thanks to the all-new Wide Dispersion Super Tweeter. Allowing sound to escape through the vent in the back filters out high frequencies to deliver cleaner bass. But if you prioritize sound quality and are willing to invest in an external amplifier, the Sony SSCS5 will probably be the better option. Off the rip I think 6 Ohms is perfect for this size speaker in a home theater, especially for fronts, but these go above and beyond just making a few right decisions.

Unless you want to get those huge cabinet speakers you see in actual theaters, you are never going to get subwoofer level bass out of a front channel speaker. The speakers are built to provide a faithful reproduction of the source audio without prioritizing the bass or treble. However, these speakers lack the ability to cover the midrange spectrum, an area where the Sony SSCS5 excels in. Midrange is great, smooth, warm and clear which really surprised me, but what really surprised me was the high end. They were easy for me to blend with my subwoofer to, I think the early roll off in the sub bass makes it easier than normal.I used to also have some components I got from my dad's old cool system, 2 full size Pioneer speakers that were pretty nice too. Its maximum power input is 100 watts and it operates with a frequency response that extends from 53Hz to 50kHz.

Your difficulty can be solved by purchasing the Sony SSCS5 bookshelf speakers according to this Sony SSCS5 review. If you would like to change your settings or withdraw consent at any time, the link to do so is in our privacy policy accessible from our home page. With a high-frequency response up to 50 kHz, music feels vibrant and energizing, and the transparent sound is further enhanced by the film condensers and woofer’s silicon steel plate, which improve the soundstage and mitigate resonances.

With the low-end going off around 53Hz, purists will find there isn’t enough bottom end to get their feet tapping or heads bobbing. The measurements are good so I wonder if it can't be EQ'd into shape with some more effort, perhaps with some broader Q filters. I shorted out one of the resistors in the woofer crossover circuit to prevent the woofer from attenuating significantly before the crossover frequency, and then to fall off more rapidly above the crossover frequency. To be fair with the target audience for these likely dominated by young folks, I bet quite a few of them can actually hear that high. Even though the grills are attached with old-school grommets instead of magnets, the speakers look great with the grill on or off.

Wide frequency response: The broad frequency range covered by these speakers allows them to deliver a rich and immersive listening experience.But that happens only up to some extent, once you cross that limit you will notice a considerable amount of noise and choppiness in the output. Note: I used to work for Sony and our company Madrona Digital is a dealer for Sony so read as much bias as you want into this review.
