Posted .Hi AliN,
You made the right choice with the Sony HTA5000! The HT-A5000 has 5.1.2 channels and X-Balanced speaker units minimize distortion while the up-firing speakers and beam tweeters fill the room to give an ultra-immersive listening experience. Built-in subwoofers provide an additional boost to low end frequencies. Vertical Surround Engine and S-Force Pro Front Surround creates immersive sound from all around, while Dolby Atmos® and DTS:X® lend a more realistic, multi-dimensional sound to your content. 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!

A better value (for me)
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I initially bought the big rig (a7000 and sw5 sub) and was unimpressed with the performance in my living room for $2100. I returned it when this was on sale for $800 with the sw3 somehow down to just $200. For half the price, this system is definitely not half the sound. The atmos is a little weak but its there. Again for 1/2 the money thisnis a way better value for me
