I would do the Klipsch as my first choice, or maybe the Sony HT-A7000 with RS5 rears. You can add a third party sub (or two) to this model (not the new ones).

That’s a great deal for $200. This was Sonys middle tier bar when it was first released, A7000 was the high end and A3000 was the low end. It’s a stand alone sound bar with surprisingly good bass and adds immersive sound relatively easy. This out classes anything close to $200 new. The best part is

I got the same system at home! I upgrade from a Sony A7000 with the RS5 rear speakers and the SW5 subwoofer. The JBL 1300X MK2 is a vast improvement! Even at just turning it up to 12-15. It fills my bedroom with ease!

I also encounter this problem with an NVIDIA Shield Pro 2019. It started around mid-September. NVIDIA replaced my Shield with a brand new one, but the problem remains exactly the same. My Sony Theater 8 soundbar is directly connected to the Shield, because my TV does not support eARC. I also have a

I would recommend finding a bargain on an older 85” X90L or Bravia 7. Just make the decision based on your needs: X90L or >> Bravia 7: Best Sony picture for a nice bright room, such as a living room. Excellent choice for budget conscious and value conscious purchases. It meets all the basic guidelin

You keep asking every reply about the bass. It's fine. It's a soundbar subwoofer. So that's what you get. Overall, the system is really good. The bass is...fine; good, even. Very room and placement dependent. Only way to know if you like it in your room is to try it. I messed around with the Q990, S

I got the TV, but I’m still running with the HTZ9F soundbar with rear speakers from my old TV X90F. I believe my soundbar still holds up, considering the HTZ9F was one of the first Sonys introduced with Dolby Atmos. Well, you got the more advanced HT-A7000. I wanted to upgrade to HT-A5000, which you

I love my Sony HT-A7000 but it cost a small fortune with sub and up firing rear speakers. The thing is that it just works. I don't have glitch issues, connection issues, compatibility issues, or anything else. I look at it as I paid for something that just works without that frustration of something

Yeah, gotta vote no for this. I bought the Q990, HT-A7000, and a Sonos with sub and 100's for rears. The Sonos sounded musical, but felt very "small" in comparison to the Sony or Samsung. It was a distance 3rd place for me. (100% movies and tv).
