    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.

    Made the change from Onkyo A/V receiver, a sub woofer, center and front speakers. Much improved sound quality With the Bar 8 and the Sony Sub woofer. Mounted Direct tv and Apple TV behind my 85 inch Sony Bravia wall mounted tv. Cleaned up inside cabinet below tv and now more speaker on floor and the center on top of cabinet. Geeks guys mounted sound bar under tv. Great sound and setup. Hit a sale and saved.
