i was eagerly waiting to see someone can upload this CS5 in & out videos,, finally you did it bro..... great video..... subscribed.... tq

Fantastic review. Love to watch what's under the hood.

Thanks for the story! I saw everything I wanted! Happy New Year! :)

Thanks for the teardown. I really like the sound of these speakers with my vintage Luxman R800 mk2 and Topping PA3. 🐀😍

Excellent video. Loved the detail.

Wanted to watch this to learn about the speakers instead was to busy watching the rats and loving that you had them just hanging out awesome video thanks

Thanks for popping the hood on this speaker. I just bought a pair on Amazon for $73.00 delivered. I believe a new model will be out soon and they want the old model off the shelf. I can't see Sony or Amazon making any money on them at that price. .They are going in the garage. Good vid, Sub.

I really enjoyed this review thanks.

Even boutique brands that cost up to 4k may have no better of a xover in them. The resistors are about the cheapest there is. The iron core coil is just fine because it's only for low frequencies, and almost all speakers cut costs there because of it. All the sides are 1/2", as is the baffle. Good video.

Thanks for the video your pet's are amazing!

I hooked them up to a $10,000 equipment on desktop and they are so clean, so airy, they have good bass. It looks stupid with all that gear BUT I found a solution to my desktop setup.

Thank you for that detailed review! Would you tell me, the size of the box (on the first seconds you open that) it was delivered? Thank in advance.

A very good descriptive Video. Well appreciated. I just got a pair , unfortunately at $148 a pair.... They are going off the shelf (excuse the pun), quickly. It is discontinued and/or unavailable at Sony's web site. For the money, IMO, and in the opinion of Sean ar Zero, and Randy - the Cheapaudioman- a very good sounding bookshelf speaker. The rear connectors are excellent and adaptable. I have them wired in parallel with Elac Debut Reference speakers connected to a IOTA SA3 Intergrated Preamp and a PA3 Amp. THe Sony's are 6 ohm speakers , the Elacs are 8 Ohms. They sound really GOOD playing in parallel with he Preamp and Amp able to handle the load. Why did I do this? I had the Elacs and wanted to enhance the sound in the front of the Finished Basement sound "studio" created in COVID Hibernation - hey at 69YO and retired from spinal disabilities, you need something to play with. One question , I'm not sure of why did you take the $75 speaker apart. I mean it is informative, but on the other hand, what could you expect form a $75 speaker. Be well all..... BTW, the other audiophilers have reviewed this speaker way Up the List for this pricing !! Happy Music Listening All.

Great video buddy. I was thinking of getting them for a simple listening and adding a sub instead a off a sound bar for my tv. Can you recommend a amp or receiver for this. Thanks buddy and please keep up the great work with the videos

Excellent review,seldom they will tackle the in and out of these sony speaker system. By the way do you know the values of those film capacitor and the value of those resistors. I am planning doing mode for this speaker when they arrive. I will try to upgrade those film cap and change those resistor to mil grade resistor. Thanks

Of course, the real test will be if Wilbur the Rat starts to boogie to them. Beta testing these speakers right now. $75 Xmas deal from BestBuy. They blend nicely with dual subs and speakers set to large, 45 degree toe in for good soundstage, 2' from wall. Definitely worth the dough imho. I think the Andrew Jones Pioneers have more bass, but less airy top. These have more of an airy top. Mids seem similar. Playing a notoriously muddy cd, Derek and the Dominos Live at the Fillmore and they really bring out the top end of the record. A tad trebly, a tad sibilant imho. And I have good room treatment. 70-100db sweet spot. Seem to sound good at low listening level too thanks to the airy top. I would definitely pair them with a sub(s).

Those actually look very well made for $75 a pair with a factory warranty and free shipping. If you deduct the shipping cost -- to be conservative let's figure $10 shipping. That leaves $65 ÷ 2 = $32.50 per speaker. To make a profit they'd need to produce all the components, the cabinet, the grill, the packaging for $10 out the door. That's beyond comprehension. The drivers all look pretty decent too and the crossover -- well I'm impressed that there are any air-core inductors.

Bonjour de la France............ excellente vidéo, excellent travail......... merci

Hi, I have these speakers and one of my binding posts broke off. Can I solder the wire to the post? Any suggestions? Thank you

Hey! what is the resistance of twitter? Mine are out of order. You need to find a replacement. thank

Thanks for the sacrifice.

Nice brother I also like Sony

Nice speakers.

Hi! These or Dali Spektor 2?

what is bass mid and tweeter's cable thikness?

Not bad for a price. Nice review. Thanks.

Thank you for the detailed video. Can I connect a receiver (Sony STRDH190) with 8 ohm min impedance to these sony SSC5S which have an impedance of 6 ohms? Will the higher 2 ohms of the receiver will cause wear and tear of the speakers over time?

A great buy for 73 bucks on Amazon! A fun toy to play with....

Watched video waiting for sound demo you said you were going to do only to get told your are not doing it at the end. Thanks

One hour later when he went to the bathroom the kid pushed all the cones and domes 😆😆😆😆😆😆😆

@29:14 is why I’m here. Thanks 😂

Worth it if you can catch them on sale. I do have a pair.

its a 130mm woofer and yes, Sony does research and make their own drivers and have done so for many years.

Just got these. Can anyone give some tips on how to connect to my TV. Thank you!

Thanks for doing this. Adding another $10 on the pair with high-quality MDF would have made a great improvement and still been a great bargain. Pity, that.

"I already have a working setup in the bedroom" That's not what she said!......I'll go stand over there

That's mdf. hdf, what your saying you wish Sony would have used, rings more than mdf.

35:16 evil rat devil

Use spade lugs instead of banana plugs, you will be fine.

the rat found a new home finaly

fyi:,warranty is void when u disassemble product

The fricken speakers cost you 70 dollars what do you expect? .they sound fantastic.if your looking for better bracing and crossovers pay 1000 dollars

how is this a "full review" when there is no listening test? how do you even review a speaker without listening to it?

Nice review, I totally agree with what you said. I’ve been in hi-fi for over 20 years and I have and have had many systems..... I’ve heard these and for the price the pioneer sp line are WAY better. Also I just bought the Jamo c97ii’s in white.... awesome value and real high end sound! You should check them out. Nice job bro 👍

$$150

why audiophiles do horrible audio?

that 3rd tweeter is just useless. amplifiers wont get that high and music does not have those high frequencies included either. so that thing will just sit there and do nothing.

Man what do you expect for the price bottom line it's how it sounds correct.

I heard a lot of rats.

These are NOT true three way speakers, theres NO MIDRANGE adding a super tweeter with a tweeter does not constitute a three way speaker. These are just a two way with the addition of a super tweeter, two ways ALWAYS lack midrange, im 63 and it amazes me how easily they pass off so many two way designs with tiny woofers and no midrange for $$$$$$$ money and talk about how great they sound - youve all been brainwashed by this "new normal" - people are paying WAY too much for two way speakers that lack midrange. I know what im talking about, I was around when midranges were common in most speakers and they sound way better while costing less than todays over hyped over priced pretentious crap

Dude it’s $73 bucks. What do you expect?

I picked up a pair of these to check them out for myself. Returned them the next day. Just a horrible speaker in every way. I'd rather spend $200 and get something decent.

Go purchase a 1000 speaker your talking in circles man.
