Sony Bravia Theater Bar 8
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This soundbar works seamlessly with Sony TV's, especially when using the S-Center Out to link up with your TV speakers. This works very well with wireless Sony speakers and wireless Sony subwoofers. The bass in this soundbar is really good, but a dedicated wireless subwoofer completes the sound profile. I would recommend adding a sub before adding rear speakers if you are on a budget. As the rear speakers help, but the sub makes more of a difference.

Bravia 8 owner
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Paired it with my Bravia 8. Sounded better than the stock speakers but there was not enough difference to warrant spending $1,000, so i returned it. The Briava 8 has pretry good speakers to begin with so if you have that TV or the 9, probably not worth it.
