    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.

      Hello there,
      Thank you so much for sharing your honest feedback about the HT-A9000 soundbar system.

      We completely understand. It sounds like the speakers built into your BRAVIA 8 are already excellent, which is great!

      We want our customers to feel they got great value and we appreciate you confirming that the built-in sound on the BRAVIA 8/9 is already top-notch.

      We appreciate you giving Sony a chance with this product.
      Best regards,
      Estefany Sony_US
