strangest looking speakers I’ve ever seen, they look like wi-fi surfboards. What’s the BEST setup for optimal sound quality? Is it best for 2 on the left and 2 on the right, and if you don’t use tv for the center channel, does that affect the dialogue? null

Hi sa7733,

That's an insightful description! We engineered the sleek, flat design of the BRAVIA Theatre Quad speakers to blend into your living space while housing powerful 3-way units.

For optimal sound, the system is designed to use two speakers at the front (left and right of the TV) and two at the rear, surrounding your viewing position to create a 360 Spatial Sound Mapping field. The system’s Sound Field Optimization automatically calibrates the sound to your room's acoustics and speaker placement, even if the placement is not perfectly symmetrical. Regarding dialogue, the Quad system performs an excellent job of creating a "phantom" center channel between the front speakers. If you have a compatible Sony BRAVIA TV, connecting it via the S-CENTER SPEAKER IN port will enable Acoustic Center Sync to use the TV's speakers for dialogue, which can improve the feeling that voices are coming directly from the screen.

Thanks for choosing Sony.

Best regards, 
Eliab
