What soundbar should I buy? Not happy with Sonos Beam

I would recommend as just a stand-alone soundbar that has some decent bass without a sub would be the Klipsch Core200 is below your price or the Core300 is above your price. You can also see if Costco still has the Sony A5000 on clearance for $299. It was a $900 bar 2 years ago and many people have

Cheap soundbar better than good TV?

I got a $200 Sony a5000 from Costco and the upgrade is HUGE on my Vizio tv in my living room. But I'm not audiophile though. Just want to understand what they say watching the office

Sonos Arc for $399.97 and Beam (Gen 2) for $299.99 in store at Costco

The arc is great and sounds fantastic. I wouldn’t exchange the HT-A5000 for it though. The Sony has a full size HDMI 2.1 port for the best possible pass though. Supports center sync with the Bravia 7. It also comes with a dedicated remote control. The arc has no hdmi pass through, no remote, and no

Samsung 990D for $639 or 990F for $900 after discounts? Need help

I barely received it but have not set it up yet since I want to set it up together with my S90F. I heard it in store and it sounds great! I like it more than my Sony HT-A5000.

Thinking of adding a soundbar to my BRAVIA 9—how do Sony’s models actually sound?

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

Q990D vs Sony quad

I just had to do a repair on my HT-A5000 because they used a faulty capacitor that has bricked several people's soundbars. The repair on it would have cost half of what the soundbar cost me new. Sony customer relations told me to kick rocks and fix it myself even though it was due to a known hardwar

What Soundbar will work the best in this living room size?

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

Best Soundbar for someone new to home theater?

There's also the shorter Sony Bravia Theater Bar 8. you can normally see them around $400 on eBay from reputable sellers ,, some times you see open box of them for about $300. you can get the BAR 8, and then look for the Sony sa-rs5.. you can sometimes find them on ebay for around $500 new/open box.
