Great speaker system
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Really nice Soundbar that Syncs up with Sony TV
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Great Sound Bar
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I don’t understand why a few people gave this bar a bad rating. I agree that it’s not cheap. However the setup and sound is fantastic! And if it was a sound issue, either they didn’t know how to setup or their TV is not compatible. Summary- This is a great sound bar!

Perfect companion for Bravia TV
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.While I was happy with the sound of my A95L I wanted to give a soundbar a try. I added the Theater Bar 8 and SW3 subwoofer. They sound fantastic and represent a very nice upgrade. I love how well integrated it is with the TV. I can control everything from the TV interface so it is easy for other family members to use ... they do not need to anything it just works. I am using the Acoustic Center channel feature so that the speakers of my A95L are handling the center. With Voice Zoom 3 dialog is crystal clear and voice appears to come from the screen which is exactly what I wanted. I wall mounted the soundbar using the included template. This was also very easy though it does not come with the screws. Setup using the Bravia Connect app was simple and it is nice having both the app as well as the TV interface to control the sound.
