Overview

Foamed-mica reinforced woofers and a wide-dispersion super tweeter handle the main sound in this Sony speaker set. The speakers work as stereo or surround, and they stand on the floor or on a shelf, depending on the model.

The reason to buy is a full set giving center, woofer and subwoofer coverage for a home theater. The limit is a confusing listing that names several model numbers and contradicts itself on power and connection.

Who it's for

Home theater builders with a receiver and room for floor-standing or shelf speakers are the target. Buyers who want a wireless setup or a soundbar should look elsewhere, because the spec fields conflict on wired versus Bluetooth use.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Three-way speaker design
  • Reinforced woofer cones
  • Wide-dispersion super tweeter
  • Floor standing or shelf mount
Cons
  • Several model numbers in the title
  • Wired and Bluetooth fields conflict
  • Power rating fields disagree
  • Weight field looks too low

Performance notes

A three-way layout splits the sound between woofers, a super tweeter and a subwoofer, so bass and treble are handled by separate drivers. Peak power and impedance set what receiver pairs well with them. Reinforced woofer cones are meant to hold shape under bass.

Frequently asked questions

How big is the Sony Complete 8 Speaker System?

The item dimensions field gives 32.99 inches deep, 40.24 inches wide and 23.5 inches high. The weight field says 16 ounces, which looks too low for a whole system, so treat it with caution.

Which speakers are in the Sony Complete 8 Speaker System?

The listing names SSCS3 (2), SSCS5, SSCS8, SACS9 and SSCSE. It does not give a count per speaker role.

Is the Sony 8 speaker system wireless?

The listing is inconsistent. One field says Bluetooth, while connectivity and subwoofer connectivity both say wired.

What is the power rating of the Sony speaker system?

The description gives 145W peak power. A separate spec field lists maximum output power as 3 watts, which does not match.
