#110 Sony SS-CS8 M2: $123.00 each Estimated Amazon eBay
Same family: the Sony SS-CS5 M2 (bookshelf, rated 3.2/5) and the Sony SS-CS3 M2 (floorstanding, estimated 3/5).
Pros: The matching center for Sony’s 2025 Core M2 speakers, with two 3.94” woofers either side of a 1” tweeter in a compact 430mm wide cabinet that fits under most TVs. Sensitivity is 87dB, so any home theater receiver drives it.
Cons: No independent measurements yet, so its tonal balance and directivity can’t be compared directly with measured speakers; the rating is estimated from the measured SS-CS5 M2. The small woofers limit bass to 55Hz and maximum output, and the woofer and tweeter layout narrows dispersion for seats off to the side.
