A: One is 5.1 while the other is a 7.1. I have both & the 5.1 is better if in a smaller room but for living room or bigger space as seems like you may have the 7.1 would be better. The 7.1 also has a nicer looking glossy top & the remote has a few more sound modes to choose from directly without going inti the menu but I found them obsolete as the main sound mode is best in my preference. I would also go for the nicer sub if in your budget & the rear speakers as they provide even more depth but all in all they are both great. I would mainly choose by the size of room going in.

This is an amazing soundbar and works even better than I hoped it would. I purchased this in hopes of replacing our receiver with all the surround speakers and wires that go along with that and so glad I did. That type of set up has it's place in this world but not fur us anymore. I did look at many brands and models of soundbars and cheap stuff ain't cool and cool stuff ain't cheap. If you're reading this you're probably in the market for a soundbar and I recommend you do the research and find the best application for your space. The initial hit to the pocketbook may be difficult for folks but you'll be better off in the long run. if you do your homework and spend wisely. I really appreciated the ease of the set up, how well it works with our Sony Bravia tv and that I received an amazing deal on an open box buy. Couldn't be happier with the decision to purchase this unit!

We matched the HT-A5000 with our Sony Bravia 75 inch tv. The sound quality was excellent. Wireless pairing with the subwoofer had to be done manually but was otherwise easy. Bluetooth pairing with our phones was simple, as was setting up the internet connection and music services. Would strongly recommend buying the 4 year warranty. I didn’t and the original soundbar locked up and couldn’t be reset. My fault. Paying another $700 for a new soundbar feels like getting hit low in a boxing match. We wall mounted the soundbar below the tv. The template provided made the process easy and the end result looked sleek and professional. As I said, at just over a year the original soundbar would turn on, display “hello” on the front but would not connect with the tv. I could not reset it with the remote, nor with the onboard buttons. I’m restating this because our area often has power outages, so along with the 4 year warranty, I recommend using some sort of surge protector. All in all, I’ve loved the sound system. Now that I’ve learned some valuable lessons, I hope my personal experience is even more positive.
I love this sound bar! It's long...about 4ft. Its the same length as my 55-inch Sony TV. It takes a little time to set up the pairing, but it's not difficult. I almost purchased a slightly less expensive one, also a Sony, but I'm so glad that I didn't! The sound is so rich, and the range is great. You cannot beat the true Dolby Atmos sound. The sound also really tracks the action on the TV well. Action sequences and vehicle chases sound awesome. Cars or aircraft appear to really move left to right, ect. The upfiring speakers set this bar apart from others, and the way that the bar adjusts itself to the room it's in is some pretty cool tech. It will pair wirelessly with a subwoofer and rear speakers as well, but sounds excellent on its own. Since the Sony TV also pairs with the soundbar, both turn on and off from the TV remote, or my Cable remote. So that's handy. Although I have both TV and soundbar on a TV stand, wall mounting brackets, specific to this bar, were included. So you have options. I have been going back and re-watching all of my favorite movies to hear them through this amazing soundbar. I am very pleased, and I'd recommend this model to anybody looking for quality sound.
