Sony speakers ss cs3 speakers

[Eagle2675]

I am looking at the Sony SS CS3 speakers. Are these as good as advertised? Would appreciate any feedback.

They are good -- but I easily prefer and like the DCM TP160S speakers better and they are on really good clearance pricing. .... your call

The Sony are a very good speaker for their MSRP!
However after hearing the DCM Time Piece 160S that Zieg linked above, I'd consider it a mistake to get the Sony's!
Those $80/pr. DCM's are clearly better speakers and it is clearance deals like this that completely upset the association of sound quality to price.
I can think of no good reason to buy the Sony as long as the DCM clearance sale is happening!

Okay, I just realized you are looking at the tower speakers.
I own the Sony CS5's and the DCM TP160S (both are bookshelf speakers).
IME, these would be reflective of the sound quality of the towers from the same series.
Accordingly, the same logic applies to the DCM towers which are also on clearance:
This ($240/pr discounted price) tower is in the same series as the TP160S:

Yes, I missed that also -- and I would go with the DCM towers that you linked
