    Replaced a HT-A3000 with the Bravia Bar 8. Very much worth the upgrade price. Purchased it to see if the new Voice Zoom was as good as the hype. We have to say it is. Voices are much clearer/cleaner/easier to understand as compared to the HT-A3000. Other sound effects of the Bar 8 are much better than the A3000. Using the Bar 8 stand-a-alone: no extra rear speakers or subwoofer. The Bar 8 is connected to a Sony XR-75X90K & all works well.
