Home speakers

If you’re familiar with my reviews, you probably know I’m an admirer of the SS-CS3’s little brother, the CS5 bookshelf speaker; they’re a bargain and sound magnificent! So, does the bigger brother live up to the expectations?

While the short answer is no, the Sony SS-CS3 is still a good and extremely affordable tower speaker that deserves to be taken into account by first-time audiophiles and listeners on a budget.

With its renewed 600 Series, Bowers & Wilkins set up new standards of engineering among attentive audio listeners. While we often used the 603 S3 as a comparison with other high-quality floor-standing speakers, we never got the chance to look deeper into their specs and sonic performance.

So, let’s do these speakers justice and praise them for what they are: a celebration of cutting-edge technology and craftsmanship!

Going down the rabbit hole of audio fidelity means coming across the terms bi-wiring and bi-amping. These are two techniques that can help you make the most of, or upgrade, your sound system, bringing to life a soundscape that’s more defined and transparent.

With its 90 years of history, Wharfedale is a household name in the world of high-fidelity audio, with distinctive sound and timeless aesthetics that characterize all their extraordinary models.

Nothing makes a track more engaging than a powerful bass, and although it might seem obvious to simply look for subs that can reach the lowest possible frequencies, the best sonic results are often a combination of bass articulation and how the subwoofer blends with the rest of your equipment.

Optimizing your surround system is a necessary step if you want to make the most of your home theater experience.

Given not everyone has the luxury of having a free, spacious, and acoustically-treated room ready to be transformed into a private cinema, we need to discuss how to make the most of what we have, whether it’s our living room, open floor, or unused space in our house.
