I tried using it without a sound bar (using it as bedroom TV) and it’s definitely fine in a smaller space. But in the end i opted for a sound bar; it’s by far the best sounding TV i’ve ever owned, but it’s not going to stand toe to toe with a good sound bar ($500+). Having said that, i did prefer the TV’s 2.1 channel sound system compared to my 2.1 channel $250 budget sound bar. The 2.1 channel sound bar easily had better bass, but it completely smothered the dialogue. While the A9G always preserved dialogue clarity, the bass was less convincing, though adequate. It took an 5.1 channel Dolby Atmos $700 sound bar to make the upgrade worth it. And even compared to that upgrade, the A9G’s built in sound fared well. So if you’re not an audiophile, plan to use the TV in a bedroom, or were planning to go with a budget sound bar anyway, the A9G will get the job done. I’d still recommend an eArc equipped sound bar to maximize your experience.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Sound is excellent from the TV as it fires forward. You will have to mount a sound bar behind the TV or somewhere else for this model. If you have a receiver or don't need a sound bar then you will be fine.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The sound is pretty decent, I would try it for awhile then decide if you need one
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.We have it set up in our living room & the sound is excellent (especially for a flat screen TV). But, if you want more 'refined' sound (movies/music), a soundbar is a good option. I will probably get one for movie viewing at some point in the future.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The A9G has remarkable sound from the screen of the TV. The owner can set the highs/lows to your taste in settings under equalizer. It is not necessary to use a sound bar, but using one does add a dimension to the overall sound quality as I have experienced. There is only one digital audio output on the A9G and if you need an analog RCA converter, I would recommend Prozor as your go to manufacture on Amazon, it is inexpensive and built well.
