    I really like it, clean install, everything floating with a long reach wall mount. Get the RS5 surrounds and the subwoofer to really unlock the magic. I love center synch with the Bravia 9.

    [Employee of bestbuy] On its own, it's not that amazing, BUT when you add the sub and rears, it's a fantastic experience! Would be five stars if it could hold its own as just a sound bar

      Hi MaryY,

      It is great to hear that you have successfully recreated the cinema experience right in your living room! By pairing the Theater Bar 9 with a subwoofer and rear speakers, you’ve unlocked the full potential of our spatial sound mapping technology. It’s wonderful to know that the added depth and surround sound are providing that massive, immersive feeling you’d usually only find at a movie house.

      Thank you for choosing Sony to bring the theater home!

    [Employee of bestbuy] Excellent sound bar. Downloading the App and setting up with my Sony Bravia 7 tv was quick and painless. The soundstage is very wide and detailed. It pairs very well with the SA-SW5 sub. A definite recommend especially if you have a Sony Bravia tv.

    It is amazing. We have the subwoofer and rear speakers as well. Our livingroom in very open and we were impressed with how the room was filled with sound. Make sure they connect the s cable during install. It does make a difference. Voices are clear and you can hear much more detail than before.

    Does exactly what irts supposed to on a 55” Bravia tv, with the small (#3) Sony subwoofer. Ths model 9 is overkill for amaller tvs and rooms, unless you watch Top Gun at full volume every week, or live in your PS. Great product, great installers.
