      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.

      If you find that the levels still aren't quite right, please feel free to reach out to our support team for further optimization tips. We are always here to help you get the best performance possible!

      Thank you for choosing Sony!

    Sony Bravia Sound Bar 8 is one of the best I found. Checked on multiple other bars but this was the best on Bass sound clarity and is very sleek and easy to handle. It has 11 speakers and with this bar I did not feel the need for any external woofers or speakers. But its your choice to add if you want. Overall value for money and highly recommended.
