- After listening to both of these speakers many times in separate occasions I couldn't decide which I preferred. So I put them side by side for some A/B action and was rather surprised!

Was anyone able to notice the difference in this video? Once I get time there will also be a upgrade/mod video coming for the Sonys. Headphones are required to really hear the difference.
The mic wasn't up to the task (as you are clearly aware). However, with headphones on this is what I was able to discern.
The recording quality of the source material seemed to be pretty good. I agree it was a good song to audition these speakers with. I couldn't hear much difference above ~4KHz because the mic didn't seem to pick it up very well so I can't judge the highs. The Jamos definitely seemed to have much stronger bass/midbass around 80Hz-100Hz. You mentioned the Sony's sounded louder overall. They seemed to have more midrange for sure, but I wonder if they just sounded that way on my end because of the weaker bottom end.
What are your thoughts/opinions about Polk Audio speakers? I don't consider myself a Polk Audio fanboy, but there's only a few of their products I thought sounded poorly (some sound bars and cheap T15s come to mind). I have a pair of Polk TSi300 towers paired with a Denon AVR-X3200W receiver and I think they sound great. Even the bass is impressive for what they are IMO. I seldom find myself wishing I had a sub. I 2.1 setup in the basement, but can't make up my mind which bookshelf speakers to go with. I thought I had my mind made up on a pair of Polk TSi100s, but these Sonys are on sale right now for half the price. I was hoping to get a decent pair bookshelf speakers with a 6.5" woofer, but I didn't want to spend more than $200/pr either. If I could find a pair of the DCM speakers you reviewed, I'd buy those.
I live in the Cedar Rapids area myself, so I'm not that far from you. I just came across your channel and like your content so far. Keep up the good work!
The Sony's are more sensitive. I'm wondering where the tweeter is crossed. I'm thinking somewhere around 4K. The Super Tweeter is sounding bright. I hear they have to much presence and are lacking in mid range. They also seem to be boomy. A blue printed crossover and box bracing may be required to make them sound better, and yes. I think they can be fixed!
The Jamo's as expected sound neutral on the recording, they are not tinny sounding like the Sony's. This is the perception I get through my headphones. In short, I think the Jamo's would be better head to head with your Pioneers.
@@trashyaudiophile7301 The sound demo only demonstrates obvious differences in sound and are more less for for fun. I see no point in investing a lot of money in expensive gear just to capture audio that will be compressed encoded etc through TH-cam. Then play back what speakers sound like on other speakers. The Jamo S803 are over priced and over hyped by Zeos and more bassy than the others. The Pioneer BS22 are great but lack punch with the 4" woofer. In the future I may be doing a upgrade video to the Sony CS5. I think their crossed at 2,500k and 20,000k typical 3 way spread.
I dont know. Ideally they should cross at 800/4700. Obviously that might be an issue considering it's a tweeter and super tweeter. I'm willing to bet the tweeter is crossed at 4K to 6K and the super tweeter somewhere around 12k. That's typical of cheap speakers. But hey, I have a set of Insignia 5 1/4" 2 ways that blew the doors off a set of Polk T15's . Granted both are budget offerings. But the insignia were 40 on sale and the polks were 119.
I do see where you are going with this.
I would be interested to see the crossovers on these and see what the crossover points are.
@@trashyaudiophile7301 Have you watched my review video of these where I take them apart?
It's difficult to A-B speakers when there is such a clear difference in volume. It plays a much bigger factor than you realize in perceived quality.
got the sscs5 for $74 at best buy and had a $30 promotional GC to spare. Ended up getting them for $45!!
OMG. Where are the medium frequency on the Jamo ??
I much prefer the Sony.
interesting comparison.
I bought my brother the Sony SS-CS5s and he loves them. But I'm looking at the Jamo S803s for my Yamaha micro system. So I appreciate this video.
Good because the Jamo are a more serious overall sounding speaker , no coloration in the mid-range like the Sony and have a more serious crossover network, but for the money the Sony are a very good choice but not as natural sounding as the Jamo.
Good comparison but, every time you went to push a button you would bring your other finger in almost like you were trying to conceal which button you were pressing... (wow that music was painful to listen to; I'm getting old!😂) That said, great job to help us really hear the difference in the speakers.
i just pick up a pair of ss-cs5, the ss-cs3 towers and the center channel. for my first HT and some music as well. I do still have the Jamos s 807 in my list but i could not pass all the sony speakers for less than 350$. Thanks a lot for your time and effort for this videos.
Very useful ! I was wondering which one to go to for the replacement of my actual speakers. This is so clear that the Sonys are more alive ! I would have gone for the Jamos, as far as they are well reputated and beautiful, but well, this is a clear difference.
I am glad I picked up my sony sscs5's, they have full range, bass included.
Excellent review and comparison!!!!! I have the Sony's and agreed with everything you said about them. They are awesome and punch WAY higher than their price point! And your vinyl wrap work is fantastic!
The Sonys are louder, which will usually sound better. A more fair comparison would be to DB match. They have apps for the phone to do that. Good demo though.
For me it wasn't just that the Sonys are louder, they were much fuller and alive. Yes db matching them is another way to compare. I didnt do it that way because it would be handicapping the Sonys efficiency gain over the Jamo, and efficiency is usually considered a good thing. But since everyones hearing varies what I think is better is only my own opinion. Thanks for watching.
@@iowaudioreviews The point of an A/B comparison isn't to test efficiency though, it's to test sound quality. The dB of the sound matters a great deal to people's perception of audio quality, efficiency does not. Efficiency only matters when choosing an amp, and most amps would be able to run either of these anyways, just turn up the gain for the Jamos. This way you're just handicapping the Jamos for no reason.
The Sonys sound tiny and dramatically less bassy.
Your totally correct , have to be even in sound output to hear the true results. He would have heard that the Jamo are better more a cleaner natural sound. Way less coloration in the mid-range because the better quality crossover , but the Sony are a excellent value and can complete with three times there price and hold there own to a point. But your right
Yes sir that's how it's done for sure I agree 100% with everything you said ,cand better than I did in my comment , thanks fellow critical listener of the hi end.
I like the Sony's but I think when you switch to the Jamo's...turn em up and you'll like em better...
Your right the sound has to be equal for a true comparison. Jamos sound smooth and natural with way less coloration in the mid-range and have a more serious sounding crossover , more for the serious listener . But for the money the Sony did very good for sure. But your right he would like the Jamo better
Very nice video!! I just bought the Sony’s two days ago because of all these reviews, and I have to say I’m quite impressed with them very nice sounding speakers..
For my taste the Sony's are the clear winner. I feel they are much more open in the presentation.
I actually prefer the look of the Jamos, but I just bought a pair of the Sony CS5s for $80. Just couldn't pass it up. So, where did you get the woodgrain wrap?
Pair of Jamos are $198 a pair (best price I can find is $149), I just bought FOUR Sonys for $3 less than the best Jamos price.
So, for $244 more I also have the Core sub coming (it's $98 on Amazon).
It sounds like the audio being output by the Sony Speakers has a wider range than the Jamos. I'm impressed.
@@joanfrederick9176 Just close your eye and listen.
Also actually went ahead and bought a set of the Sony speakers. They are amazing.
i am shocked by the difference too...ive read alot of great reviews about the cs5...surprisingly it destroys alot of rival even those who are in higher class and cost almost 10times more ...i guess sony is always being the underdog and way underrated...i just gotto listen to 1 myself..
I just bought the Sony's for $89. Insane deal. For the price you just cannot pass them up. They compare with many speakers in the $300-$400 range. It's crazy. And I have a 12'" Klipsch sub sitting here waiting for them. Can't wait.
I was thinking about these. I have some BIC Venturi DV62si's on my desk, got some Micca RB42s to save some space, but I'm not sold on them.
Powering them with a Fosi BT20A Pro (32v), fed by a Cambridge DacMagic 100. looking to stay under $200
Hi im contemplating between the Sony and the BIC too. Did you ever get around to comparing them?
I knew your answer before seen your video. However, good job and you're in the correct. A hug for you from Chile, South America 🇨🇱. 👏🏻
Sony's look Amazing with that new Walnut wrap !!! Great Job with that project 👍👍👍
I'm guessing the Jamos sound quieter due to the fact their 8ohm vs Sony's 6ohms. I love my Jamo's 803's
Thank you for that comment? Right now the Jamo's are $149 on Amazon...I wish they would go on sale for a little less, but time will tell. Brett, what amps or power are you using? I'm building a budget system and I want my amp to have a headphone jack, so the best one i"ve seen so far is the Fosiaudio Q4.
OH Wow I'm blown away! I would have bet money the jamos would have blew the Sony's out of the water. But everytime I think the Sony's are going to get a spanking they continue to amaze me. This was an amazing video bro!!!!! Hats off to you. On a side note are you familiar at all with the Jamo E 800s? Ive found a pair that's mint for 65 dollars but can't hear them before I buy them.
Aren't the sonys rear ported and picky about distance from wall?
Waiting 6 minutes to hear Alice in Chains used for a speaker comparison is like going on a 4 mile hike to look at a turd.
8:15 you lost me! I can't easily follow which button you press if use both fingers at the time. Please 1 finger only in the future! Also, try to leave the recording device / camera + microphone in the same location and use a remote. Sound change a lot when you move around :)
Other than that, great demo! Thanks!
Sorry. My Marantz was missing the remote then. I finally found the original remote for it so I can do AB switching remotely. My more recent videos are done this way so the audio doesn't get efdected so much. Thanks for watching.
Also..a simple text overlay of which speaker is currently playing in the video would be very simple and go a long long way.
How are Sony SS-CS5 compared to JBL Studio 230 ?
Love the comparison video. I just bought the Sony set and I think they sound great.
A quick off-subject question: Your audio cart there looks like a home brewed solution that would work great in my tiny listening room. Have you done a video on how to build one? I'd love to see one if you haven't!
Hey Jerry got a question...Subs...do you need a subwoofer with these?
awesome video, you can use remote controller to switch the A B
I am considering second-hand speakers to purchase, I am between these Sony ones at 180 USD and some Jamo e800 AT ABOUT 150 USD. I would like your opinion or that of your subscribers regarding price and quality of both. What would you choose?
Wow you did a great job wrapping the Sonys
Not really sure how the Jamo sound because I haven't got them but I heard Z Reviews sound demo and they really did not sound that dull and they are getting rave reviews from quite a lot of people (unless there is Jamo behind them hehe)
the sony’s are $300 here in canada :(
I bought a pair of the sonys to try out against my Klipsch rp 160ms. They really are great speakers with a ton of detail. I was blown away for the price. They weren't as full as my Klipsch, but extremely impressed
Got Klipsch 150m for 240 and Sony for 90. Klipsch like 20% better. Both worth it.
@@ratacris5520 I have the 160s and the 600s. Definitely better for the price. More dynamic and can take power better than the Sonys can. Plus with movies and what not, Klipsch takes the cake. The Sony's were no slouch though.
@@SpencersStuffTV The "funny" thing is both Klipsch 150m + Elekit 8200 and Sony+Behringer A800 sound better than my KefLs50+Rega Brio R..crying here ..
@@ratacris5520 haha well at least you can afford all those different speakers to listen to. But yeah the kefs are expensive aren't they?
@@SpencersStuffTV got them for 800$ new on a promotion. Best/worse deal I ever made. Best for the price , worse for all the stuff I would need to buy to make them sound good. In the end not worth it..miles behind Klipsch+tubes
Got the Sony's on sale for $75 at best buy online. 👍
I think that to really hear which one is better, you should listen to these speakers for real. I must bought a set of Jamo s803 speakers and for now I must say that I am really impressed. Very nice and clear, also a very good bass.
At the end of the day both very good speakers for the price. Each have a different sound signiture, buy what pleases your ears and ya can't go wrong. To many audio nuts forget audio is hearing and all that matters is your satisfied with your system. 👍
Yes, that's how it is, it is a question of listening and taste
Are you reviewing you talking or the speakers
You probably just have a short attention span. Talking, words, opinion is what makes a review. The demo is part of the review. I don't do the same old cookie cutter 10 min videos like everyone else trying to pump out content and pull in sponsors. Try fast forwarding through the video till you reach the part you want. Thats what anyone else with a pulse would do.
I love the core series, it's so easy to find then used
That black fabric behind the speaker's, is that part of improving the sound in the room?
I have a curiosity. why no one on youtube has done a deep review on the sony SSHA-3 speakers??
Question...is the Jamo 803 better than the C 91ii
1/18/2024: Jamo S803 "Renewed" $119 & $329 New on Amazon. Best Regards "from the future"...
Which one is less shiny? I can’t tell from my iPhone SE speaker😅
Dude, you literally talked for 6 minutes before you got to playing anything, then when you did play your death metal you drove the speakers so hard all I could hear was distortion. FWIW the Sony distorted first. 😖
I just got back into stereo receivers after years of little Bluetooth speakers. Am I going deaf? Or do most of these fancy boutique looking speakers sound flat and just not very present in the room? I mean, thats a huge volume drop from one to the other. I have the Sonys and Im comparing them at home to some 20 year old Klipsch speakers. The sonys have nice treble but the bass is distorting and farty. The Klipsch just sounds flat and unsatisfying. Do you have to have a ton of money in equipment to sound good anymore? (Im using a yamaha rs202 and the sony 190)
newsflash: very few speakers outside of pro studio gear are ruler flat, jamos being no exception. Like many bookshelf speakers the bass is enhanced to give the impression of a much larger speaker, and it only makes sense to do the same to the treble in terms of balance. That being said, what Jamo has done is tasteful and subtle imho. And it certaintly looks like a hi end "lifestyle" product.
News flash.... glad you like them good for you and not all pro monitors are flat, some just suck. But a flat response is the base line to a overall pleasing speaker. If I want coloration I'll use the EQ to tailor to my liking. Sad the industry has killed the good ol EQ. The S803 looks and sound are up to the buyer its your opinion fine. But its over priced in its class so even though its a good speaker for some people I don't fancy it unless its on sale. Zeos hyped it and the sheep followed as usual. If you like the S803 great enjoy them but for me I'd rather have the Sony CS5 for less than half the price.
What did you use to veneer them it looks great
Its just Cherry wood vinyl rap off Amazon. There's hundreds of designs with vinyl rap and its a pretty cheap way to improve the looks of a speaker.
@@iowaudioreviews thank you for the info
How did youh made wood finish look on sony speak.? I like that!
Thank you for the side by side comp. It's clear the Sony's sound better!
Hello! What is the lining of the wall behind the equipment made of?
They are the black furniture packing blankets from Harbor freight. Checkout my budget acoutic treatment video I'll talk about them and other things I use in my listening area.
wow im surprised i hear such a big difference, the sonys sounded way better with more fuller and detail, no idea why
sonys sound sooo much better....midrange is not present on the jamos
I heard the same thing. The Jamos sound good until I put them next to the Sony. The Jamo emphasizes the highs and lows to much that in some music the midrange really suffers and they lose their musicality. Almost as if the Jamo are more suited for home theater.
How to get Sony's in europe for a good price?
Can I pair this sony cs 5 with Pioneer a 40 ae integrated amp?
I know the Sony's sounded louder, but that did not make up the difference in SQ, and right now Sony's are $73 a pair.
Yep, they're cheaper and in my opinion sound better. The Jamo's are nice but overpriced compared to its competitors. Over hyped by Zeos as well. Thats why I took them aparts. Everything about them is just as cheap as their competitors but yet cost more and for what the Jamo name.... I know loudness or efficiency isn't necessarily fidelity but it can contribute to it and while the Sonys are louder in reality they have a much more live balanced sound signiture. The Jamos have increased highs and lows basically a built in smiley eq even other youtubes commented on it in their reviews. They seem to be more designed around home theater than music.
The difference is huge. In favor of the sonys
I bought the Jamo S801 speakers. That was a mistake. They suck. I really wanted the Sony SSCS5 speakers.
It's gonna be really hard to find a replacement for my Optimus Pro LX7 speakers, though.
The Sony CS5 could be a good option. If you want to stick with a larger bookshelf like LX7 checkout the BIC DV62SI. I did a video on them as well, they're great for the money. Sold at PartsExpress.
That band kicks ass!!!
This is not a proper music to compare two sets os speakers.
i think zeos was wrong giving them the BEST 300$ and below speakers .
non si capisce quando suonano le sony e quando suonano le jamo. Potevi anche dirlo...
how about sony ss cs3?
The s803 5 speaker set up. $200
how do both of this compare to Elac b6.2? which sounds better. what are your thoughts on this
I have not been able to get my hands on the Elac b6.2 yet. But everything I've watched and read on them and being a $199 msrp speaker "higher price than the others". I'd be willing to bet they're just as good or better especially the low end since they have a larger 6.5" woofer. Realistically all these speakers are good value and perform well. With the Sony CS5 its value goes way up because they can often be found for $100 or less.
The CS5 are $73 on Amazon right now. Limited price, make your mind up quick : )
Forgot to mention if tour in the $200 budget give the Warfdale Diamond 220 a look.
@@iowaudioreviewsDo you like Diamond 220 better than sony?
@@kirankuttan Havent had a chance to try the Diamond 220 yet. Ive heard great things about them. When the CS5 are on sale for less than $100 they're unbeatable, but as of now they're full price which is close to the 220. Wharfdale is a quality name in audio I'd bet the 220 are pretty good.
Can you review the venerable JBL Studio 530?
There was a set for sale near me for $300 by a music teacher. I've messaged her a few times and she never got back to me. Pretty sure someone snagged them before I could.
@@iowaudioreviews Bummer! Hope you come across a pair, eventually (and that they aren't damaged or abused).
@@iowaudioreviews JBL has them in stock www.jbl.com/STUDIO+530BK.html?mrkgcl=741&mrkgadid=3363145518&Con%7CGSC%7CProducts&Google&product_id=STUDIO%20530BK&Home+Audio&creative=249866156292&device=c&matchtype=&network=g&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIr564s7fI5gIVDdVkCh2DcwEjEAkYASABEgJYjPD_BwE
Totally the wrong type of music to test or compare two different types of speakers.
WRONG !!!!!!!!!!!
No your wrong! What about people that listen to this kind of music and are interested in these speakers....... All the music has to do is make the difference apparent in this demonstration. And if your taking a TH-cam sound demo seriously absolutely shows you know nothing about audio. Probably just regurgitate crap you read on forums. Audio and sound quality are COMPLETELY subjective to the listeners preferences so you and nobody else can tell me or others what we think of a speaker. What next you wanna tell how I like my steak.....? The Jamo S803 are good speakers but over priced and over hyped. In my opinion.
All type of music should have been used to get the clear difference.
The Sony sound like they had better mid range and tweet
SONY are $88 on Amazon now.
These versus Elac Debut 2.0 b6.2?
I haven't been able to try the Elac but I'd be comfortable assuming they are better. Given they cost much more and Andrew Jones designed them. All I can say for now is the Sony CS5 are very good for the money.
Wrong kind of music for any kind of comparison test my man, sorry but not for me.
JAMO very muses and more musicality,SONY suitable for the proportion of moves and games.Sience the frequencies are too separated in the music.
Objectively the Sony measure better and are more balanced. Forget the super tweeter anyone with typical hearing loss will never notice it. Either could be fixed with a little DSP or Just get the JBL Stage A130 review coming soon.
Yes both speakers are good especially for the price with the Sony even more so. But as a veteran at HiFi mid fi to hi end the Jamo are overall cleaner and are totally more accurate. But the Sony are very nice I own the rare and very saught after cpx 22 speakers. As good as your model is , I have heard them but the Jamo is a more serious sounding crossover and are a lot more finer detail and separation in the mid frequency. In other words less overall coloration. The cpx 22 I own are more like the Jamo sound with a more punch and low end extension than the Jamo. Sony's u have are indeed a great speaker for the money they are the top 3 best period , but Jamo is more for the critical listener who wants a natural sound and not any coloration of mid-range tones. Great review as always
By the way the speakers I was referring to are the Sony cpx 22 speakers from early 2000s they had a light cherryRose like finish with a 5 1/4 woven Kevlar type Sony's version driver a 1" silk dome damped tweeter a 3 piece crossover and tuned front port. One of
Sony's best small bookshelf speakers and system ever.
The Jamos sound like someone put a pillow in front of them.
Sony's a clear winner...
73 bucks on amazon right now for the Sony SSCS5
€ 198.99, Amazon Spain right now ask for Sony SSCS5 speakers. Today's change is $ 219,235 USD It seems like a great scam of biblical proportions ...
I seen that, and posted a link to hifi guides. At t$73 these would be the best value speakers Ive reviewed.
@Luka Stemberger
You're right, they rip us off with the "law" in hand, or put another way, trade laws are created with the sole purpose of scamming people.
3-way speaker vs a 2-way..... where's the surprise?
Really the Sony are hardly a 3 way since the super tweeter is crossed so hi it doesn't do much that humans can hear. As I said in the video its more of a sales gimmick. Especially since people that by these will most likely stream or play mp3 on them and those formats are cut off at 16khz anyway.
Can u please compare cs5 with rb42
Its on my list now that the rb42 seem to be back in stock.
Right now the Sony's are 148. And the Jamo's in the black are 169. Since I have the Sony's I suppose I am partial but even if the Jamo's went cheaper I would still get the Sony's. They are three way and when I block the mid twitter I can hear sound coming from the super twitter. And besides you can say "I have three way speakers." lol
Sony my choice
Sony’s are only good with 24bit tracks. Jamo’s are more dynamic otherwise. Even then.......?
What marantz model is that? Analog?
you ramble just like me lol., these are back on sale for $118, i'm going to wait till they hit $73 again lol
I would give a points decision to the Sonys... with the caveat that they are less accurate, but give an engaging, live "venue" sound.
I think a frequency sweep chart would show more peakiness in the SS-CS5s.
This difference may come about when one speaker is "voiced" to match it's siblings in a more upmarket brand, and another is voiced by a focus group.
So one will measure better on THD, linearity, etc; but... ah... to most casual listeners the Sonys get the vote. And even trained listeners might also choose the vibe of an impromptu performance with the band's everyday bins in an acoustically lively 'ad hoc' smaller venue.
I would BUY the Sonys for my home, but probably wouldn't do a mix with them in a studio (because while they are appealing, they are idiosyncratic). My take.
I think the people who bought the Jamos are trying hard to justify their inferior speaker purchase vs the cheaper and better sounding Sony! 😂😂
Sony👍 или jamo👍?
I thought the Sony's sounded a little blown out like the singer was distorted and hard to hear with the instruments like it was badly mixed concert or something but it sounded much cleaner with the Jamo's
Get a remote or a stick or something to a-b switch
Lol, I got a remote now. 👍
I got a pair for my desktop $75 on ebay. I have a streaming/DAC/Amp and I am surprised how refined the Sony's are for the price.
Vindicated, I was right the Sony are better.... at least when it comes to a properly engineered speaker with good measurements. But we all still have our preferences. th-cam.com/video/EI7Z864_DQ0/w-d-xo.html
Sony are a garage speaker. Just obnoxious. Jamo a bit better with more control and natural sounding.
Stick them Sony's up against some entry level Tannoys and listen to them getting blown completely out the water
better music would help
Horrible music and I can't tell which is at fault here: the speakers, the music, or the mic, but that distortion is drilling into my soul like a Jack Hammer.
The Sony sound better
Hey reviewer I got a good idea why not just use one finger when pushing the button? Here's another great idea, why not use a stationary mic? What a waste of time. SMFH
Holy ship your a genius 👏 you should work for Elon Musk. But this is a hobby not a full time gig for me to bad you take things like TH-cam so seriously maybe you should try production television I hear they put more effort into they're content. Theres lots of things I could do to improve my content..... but I don't care its just TH-cam and its just for fun. Thanks for your view 😘
@@iowaudioreviews Right, because it's so hard to do a decent a/b job thousands of people get right. It's lazy, it's clickbait, It's wasting peoples time.
@@headphone307 Well its a hobby so I think amount of effort put in is irrelevant and subjective to the hobbyists. Most of the time my lazy azz is at work or with family but I guess those thing aren't as important as a TH-cam video on speakers.... I quite doing a/b tests on TH-cam, to many people take it seriously and think its actually is a legit way to compare speakers at all. Its not, it was just for fun. Plus I'm not going to purchase an extra mic just for usless TH-cam a/b comparisons the stereo mics in my phone are plenty good.
@@iowaudioreviews It's not a great way to experience speakers, but if it's not really legit, then why do you bother? Speaker comparisons on YT stir the curiosity of enthusiasts. Your laziness makes a mockery of the enthusiast by not offering a good listen, or even a good idea of which is playing. I know why I clicked, the big question I have, and I think a question you should be asking yourself is why do you even bother? Doing a good video isn't that much harder than doing a crappy video. But if you have better things to do then please, go do them, and let us spend our time watching better efforts.
Why do you people insist on making video comparisons with crap for recording devices? Yes there is a shitty difference! Sony sale now Again Azon $88, buy em up!
Because even done with expensive gear its still is going through TH-cam and what ever the viewer has on their end. So its going to be heavily compressed and limited to at most 160kbps via the Opus251 codec (mp3 quality). So I'm not spending couple hundred bucks on recording equipment for TH-cam. Its just a basic demonstration so people can hear obvious differences. If you want a critical comparison buy both and try them in person in your listening space with your equipment then return the one you don't like.
Why dont you just leave the camera in one place? its really a useless comparison if you are moving the mic every time you switch speakers, because there is a change in sound that acts as a transition which doesnt allow you to understand and appreciate the difference clearly... Shame, it would have been a good video otherwise man, if I were you I would re-do this video, if you want ti to actually work I mean
The basic difference can still be heard all I was shooting for as stated in the video. Trying to do a detailed sound comparison through TH-cam is impossible for several reasons thats why most don't bother. This video is 2 years old now and I like most people have choosen the Sony obviously as they're still very popular. I also hadn't tracked down a remote for that Marantz reciever at the time. So between what is noticeable in the video and my opinion I recommended the Sony.
