As these speakers can handle midrange well, you will love hearing the sounds while watching movies or playing games. I wouldn’t say the bass is amazing but for the size they do alright, good imaging and a bit more sound stage than I was expecting. This was remedied by lessening the value of the super tweeter padding resistor to enhance the highest frequencies. way, 3-driver system: The separate drivers for low, mid, and high frequencies ensure balanced and detailed audio output. The speakers are built to provide a faithful reproduction of the source audio without prioritizing the bass or treble.

mica reinforced low-frequency driver, which is crafted to deliver a stable bass performance and enhance mid-range sounds. but wanted another cd/dvd playing choice as I was running audio and dvd through an old dvd vhs sony unit that might have not been all that great. But I find that speakers and headphones with extended high-frequency responses tend to sound better in the frequencies we can hear. Utilising a foamed mica-cellular diaphragm, it produces both powerful bass and the finer detail required for clear vocals and dialogue in the mid-range.

First, find something that will fit the hex screws that hold the woofer and tweeter baffle in place. One of the most noticeable discrepancies these packers have is the breaking sound that comes when you turn up the volume. It also measures the speaker at close distance ("near-field") which sharply reduces the impact of room noise. This material provides effortless detail while ensuring that the high-frequency sounds are replicated precisely across the sound spectrum.

Furthermore, the Mica Reinforced Cellular (MRC) cone ensures you won’t hear distortions even when playing loud, heavy bass music. 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.

Sound quality, especially in high frequencies, is greatly reduced when keeping the dust protection panel on. By capturing music at a higher rate than CD, increasing both audio samples per second and the bitrate accuracy of each sample, High-Resolution Audio offers a near-perfect capture of an artist’s music.Thanks to the 3-way, 3-driver system, the Sony SSCS5 speakers will give you a well-balanced audio output across all frequency ranges. 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. So it's more like a two-way design, with a super-tweeter that extends the high-frequency response up to 50KHz. Both pictures contain response measurements of the same speaker at 0, 30, and 60 degrees off axis horizontally.

I used to have one of the bigger, thicker Sony monster bookshelf 3 or 5 disc changer with those big old speakers with super looking sub woofer dealios. We already mentioned in this Sony SSCS5 Review that the speaker has a great bass reproduction and that is true. We see resonances as indicated by the same blips in all three upper graphs around 1 kHz, and 2+ kHz. The Human brain cannot accurately interpret sound quality while watching murders, bloodshed and scantily clad seductresses prancing about. They have Revel level speakers (the SS-AR1 and lots of Japanese only speakers) and JBL Bluetooth boomboxes.The slightly peaky response troubled a few tracks but mainly they sounded good enough for nearly anyone I know who is not an "Audiophile" listener. The SS-CS5's uber resolution delivers the texture of sound, like the feel of a bow moving over a cello's strings. e., the surrounds, are rubber-like, not foam, and the H3500's speaker cabinet is kind of thin, light in weight, and sounds hollow, similar to the SS-CS5's cabinet. The major impact of shorting the resistor is to fill in the slight dip in response between 2 kHz and 4 kHz. In addition, the black finish effortlessly fits with contemporary decor, making it an excellent choice for keeping your home looking trendy.

We see fair bit of frequency response anomolifes identified by broad peaks and dips which should make them quite audible. If your wants fit the definition of a speaker like that, you’ll want the best of all worlds, and the Sony SSCS5 bookshelf speakers provide just that.Bass has good tone, but relies too much on the addition of a subwoofer or passive resonance speakers resulting in overall lower quality lows/mids.
