About this item
Highlights
- The cabinet of the SS-CS8 is made from wood, which is designed to provide a natural resonance, and its bass reflex construction will give directionality to the low frequencies.
- The speaker's crossover network is mounted directly to the cabinet for vibration isolation, which is intended to assure low signal loss. Four rubber foot pads are included to isolate the speakers from your shelf, so as to reduce shelf vibration.
- The SS-CS8 utilizes foamed, dual-layer mica woofer diaphragms - the upper surface is fashioned to deliver supple and faithful sound quality, while the bottom layer is designed to leverage low weight with strength for powerful bass response.
- The crossover network in the SS-CS8 is intended to assure minimal signal loss for an energetic vocal response with even the most delicate nuances.
- It is mounted directly to the cabinet for vibration isolation.
Description
Equipped with two 4-inch woofers and a 1-inch tweeter, the Sony SS-CS8 2-Way 3-Driver Center Channel Speaker handles 145W of peak power.

Adds needed depth and presence to any home theater system. Went from an almost lifelong 2.0 system, to 2.1. After adding this center channel, I'm angry I hadn't added it sooner. Great clarity for speech/dialogue. Crisp highs, warm and inviting mid-range. 5 stars!

Bought this as part of my home theatre upgrade process (the end goal is 7.2.4, I'm about ¾ the way there), and even just paired with my SSCS-3's as fronts, these speakers are loud, crisp and clean. Movies and music sound wonderful with these speakers. I'm hearing sounds in movies I've never heard before. highly highly recommend this and all the core series speakers (SSCS3, SSCS5, SSCS8 and the sub). You're not going to find a better value for your money. Seriously, they sound SO GOOD in my condo.

My original center Sony speaker was small. Up graded all sony speakers and a Sony 7.1 HD reciever. Kept missing some dialog. Now can hear dialog and everything else. Not the best speaker, for the money above average and blends in with rest of Sony speakers.
