    Really love this soundbar, it sounds fantastic in my living room that is prone to echos. The setup is really simple but I do wish we weren't forced to create an account so Sony can collect data for simply wanting to use a soundbar. Once everything is setup though, the connection is a breeze.

    Great speaker system. We replaced the standard 7.2 system with this bar. The center speaker was mounted at the same height as the bar needed to be placed, and the rest of the speakers and subwoofer are gone, giving us a lot more space. The system sounds great.

    Fantastic Soundbar, works and sounds well on its own without a sub. Still want a sub, don’t get me wrong, but it stands out on its own. Worth the investment for a modular sound system I can build over time for my home theatre.

    Really nice Soundbar that Syncs up with Sony TV

    Purchased this to go along with my new Bravia 7 TV. Fits perfectly under a 65” TV. The setup was super easy and the integration with the TV was flawless using Sony’s center channel sync. Setting up the spatial sound field was also extremely easy as well. You do have to play with the settings a little. In my medium sized living room, 13 x 15 feet it sounded great. For larger rooms, you may want to step up to the theater bar 9. I plan on purchasing the subwoofer and rear surrounds at a later date. For now the bar itself is more than capable. Was also able to sync the TV and soundbar to my echo dot to turn the system on & off plus control the volume. The original price of $849 was a little high but the insane price of $699 was, I think, the sweet spot for this soundbar. The spatial surround is subtle but definitely noticeable and I’m sure will be greatly enhanced with a sub & surrounds. I am not one to like my movies shaking the house so this is perfect. One last note is the Voice Zoom function also works really well for clear dialogue.
