I bought them for $299.97 at Costco to replace the Sony A5000 soundbar. It was okay but not great at first without a subwoofer, but then I added a RSL Speedwoofer 10e, and it has become much better. Still not enough to fill my living room, but Iβm happy with the sound quality given the total cost of

For games and movies I use the Sony A5000 and the Sony SA-SW3. It thumps and has great range. It can handle anything I to row at it. I got Samsung Q990D which is a little superior in another room. However, the Sony stuff really all pairs great together.

Sony soundbars match well with Bravia TVs not just because of the sound but also their menu integration that is added to your tv quick menu for easy changes. What to get will depends on your budget. Just the Bar alone with a somewhat all in one that you can upgrade later, I would say Sony HT-A5000 t

It delivers really good sound for such a small soundbar. I can only compare it with a Sony HT-A5000 + the Sony sub, which I bought initially. Ambeo mini with the sub sounds miles better than Sony, perhaps not that loud but for me is not a problem. As I said, the sound is cristal clear and the voices

The theater bar 8 is absolutely sick and is worth the grand. But the HTA3000 is a good sound bar too if you wanted to take the Sony route

Has anyone had any CEC issues with their HT-A5000 since the last weeks firmware update please? My A95K can't detect it anymore; factory reset on both TV and soundbar performed.

The 85" has been great for COD and golf π! I haven't got the ps5 moved to the 65" B9 yet. I had it in the living room to replace a Samsung 65" that I gave to my son who moved out...but we liked it so much we moved it to the bedroom. So our bedroom is now home to the 65 Bravia 9, my older HT-A5000 so
