Small to medium rooms power house system!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This soundbar is the best complete sound system for any small(6x6) to medium (12x12) office. The bass is strong and will shake your room. If you add a subwoofer make sure you room is larger (14x14) or bigger! Great size, great vocals, great bass!

Posted .Hi None,
Very nice! We're glad you like the sound quality and bass sound of the soundbar. We hope that between some of our premium audio technologies such as Vertical Surround Engine and S-Force Pro Front Surround, you feel like you are not only in a sphere of sound, but inside the movie itself. To ensure that you are getting the most out of your HT-A5000, make sure to run Sound Field Optimization so that the soundbar can calibrate its performance to your environment, and that it sounds like it was engineered to be in your room. If you want to expand your audio system, please take a look at our optional subwoofer and rears accessories (SA-SW5,SA-SW3,SA-RS3S). Thank you for choosing Sony!

sounds great in a small room using a subwoofer.
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.When we had it connected to our Hitachi 50c61 we were getting occasional sound drop. We unplugged a WII and sound was better. when we upgraded to a Sony xr-50x50j it was recognized by the tv during the setup and now let's us use the true Dolby sound

Subwoofer needed
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Its very long. Bass is not good so you will need a subwoofer is the only bad thing. Everything else is fine.

Posted .Hi Zman, Thank you for purchasing the HTA5000 soundbar. Your feedback regarding the built-in subwoofer of the bar speaker is greatly appreciated. Built-in subwoofer delivers high sound pressure for clear, deep bass. This has been achieved by expanding the area of the diaphragm and the size of the subwoofer (X-Balanced Speaker Unit).
NOTE: When the audio source does not contain much bass sound, the bass sound may not be audible.
