Consignment piece. We sell it on behalf of its owner, and it's covered exactly like everything else we sell: inspected and serviced as required, and backed by our Bumper-to-Bumper Warranty and Perpetual Trade-Back Program. The one difference: it isn't eligible for Cue It Up layaway.

Four drivers in a three-way tower — two 130 mm MRC cone woofers, a 25 mm soft dome tweeter, and a 19 mm super tweeter that carries response to 50 kHz, which is what earns the High-Resolution Audio certification. 45 Hz at the bottom, 88 dB, 6 ohms, 145 watts maximum. Voice-matched to the rest of Sony’s CS series. Like new, sold as a pair.

Description

Sony SS-CS3 3-Way 4-Driver Floor Standing Tower Speakers Pair Like New

Full-range floor standing tower speakers from Sony’s popular CS series, the SS-CS3 offers a 3-way, 4-driver design with High-Resolution Audio support, wide-dispersion super tweeters, and deep bass extension — in like-new condition, sold as a pair.

The SS-CS3 is a genuine 3-way, 4-driver floorstanding speaker that brings a lot of hardware to the table for its price point. Sony pairs two 5.25-inch Mica Reinforced Cellular (MRC) cone woofers with a 1-inch soft dome tweeter and a dedicated 0.75-inch wide-dispersion super tweeter — a four-driver array more commonly found in speakers costing significantly more. The super tweeter extends high-frequency response all the way to 50 kHz, qualifying the SS-CS3 for High-Resolution Audio certification and delivering notably airy, extended treble performance. The rear-firing bass reflex enclosure extends bass response cleanly down to 45 Hz, providing solid low-frequency foundation without requiring a subwoofer in most moderate-sized rooms.

The tapered faceplate and slim black cabinet design are tidy and modern, fitting easily into contemporary living spaces without dominating the room visually. Screw-type binding post terminals accept bare wire or spade connectors. Voice-matched to the full Sony CS series, the SS-CS3 pairs naturally with the SS-CS8 centre channel, SS-CS5 bookshelf rear surrounds, and SS-CSEM2 Atmos speakers for a seamless, tonally consistent home theater system.

We service Sony, too. Bring us your own Sony receivers, amplifiers, tuners, CD players and cassette decks, Walkman-size players included for repair, servicing or restoration (not reel-to-reel decks), with a 90-day warranty on the work. See our Audio Service page

Sony began in Tokyo in 1946, founded by Masaru Ibuka and Akio Morita, and it helped bring the world the Walkman and the compact disc. We carry Sony stereo and AV receivers, CD players, cassette decks, amplifiers and speakers. We've had more than 220 Sony listings so far, covering more than 185 different models. Every used Sony here is inspected, tested and serviced as required, then photographed in-house and covered by our Bumper-to-Bumper Warranty and Perpetual Trade-Back Program. Don't see the model you want? Tell us on First Dibs and we'll email you when one arrives.

Sony models we've sold more than once include the TC-K61 cassette deck, the CDP-CE305 and CDP-C335 CD players, the STR-DA5700ES AV receiver and the STR-4800SD stereo receiver.

The Sony story, 1946 to today

Masaru Ibuka and Akio Morita founded Tokyo Tsushin Kogyo ("Totsuko") in Tokyo in 1946, growing out of a radio repair business Ibuka had started the year before. The company was renamed Sony in 1958.

Tape and transistors. The G-model tape recorder of 1950 is described as Japan's first, and the TR-55 transistor radio of 1955 was the first Sony-branded product.

ES. Sony describes the TA-1120 integrated amplifier of 1965 as the first all-silicon-transistor stereo amplifier and dates its ES ("Elevated Standard") line from it.

Walkman and CD. The Walkman went on sale in Japan in July 1979. Sony worked with Philips on the compact disc, and Sony's CDP-101 was among the first CD players on sale in Japan in October 1982. Sony still makes ES AV receivers.

Which Sony is which?

STR receivers: stereo receivers from the late 1960s on, such as the STR-6120, and later AV receivers, including ES models.

TA amplifiers and ES separates: from the TA-1120 to the TA-E86 preamplifier and TA-N86 power amplifier (1978).

CDP CD players: from the CDP-101 (1982) and CDP-701ES (1983) to changers such as the CDP-CE305 and CDP-C335 we sell often.

TC tape decks: reel-to-reel recorders until 1985, and cassette decks such as the TC-K61 and the three-head TC-K777ES.

SS speakers: such as the SS-G7 floorstanders of 1978.

Buying used Sony: what to check

CD players. Open and close the drawer several times; hesitation can be an early sign of trouble. Laser pickups wear, skipping is a symptom, and tray belts age.

Cassette decks. Belts dry out and cause slipping or uneven playback, and worn heads dull the sound. Run fast-forward and rewind, and check Dolby.

Amplifiers and receivers. Noisy switches and dirty relay contacts cause many faults, and bias settings drift with age. On tuners, look for blown bulbs and broken dial cords.

Everything we list is inspected, tested and serviced as required here, and comes with our warranty.
