    Made the change from Onkyo A/V receiver, a sub woofer, center and front speakers. Much improved sound quality With the Bar 8 and the Sony Sub woofer. Mounted Direct tv and Apple TV behind my 85 inch Sony Bravia wall mounted tv. Cleaned up inside cabinet below tv and now more speaker on floor and the center on top of cabinet. Geeks guys mounted sound bar under tv. Great sound and setup. Hit a sale and saved.
