    Great sound, easy setup, and not bad on the pocketbook. I normally wouldn’t buy a matching set (TV and Soundbar) but this one seriously makes you think someone is whispering behind you at times! Definitely would recommend!

    Great clear robust sound. If you want to hear exactly what people are saying this sound bar fits the bill. It would help if there was a way to tell the level of the setting. Sometimes I increase the level and it all of a sudden blasts out. I can’t tell how much I am adjusting the sound level.

      Thank you for the review, SondraG!

      We’re glad to hear that you enjoyed the sound quality of your HT-A8000. To help with the volume levels, you might try adjusting the "Voice Mode" setting on your remote, which is designed to enhance dialogue clarity without needing to raise the overall volume.

    When we listen to the sound system in the store, it sounded great. However, when we brought it home and set it up for the instructions, we had to turn off the rear speakers in order to hear the voice. Think something must’ve been the matter with the sound bar, I told them when I returned it. They had a Samsung system on sale last year‘s model and we bought that and it works fantastic true theater sound in our own living room
