Sounds great even without extras
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Though it would definitely sound better with a sub and rears, it still boosts the tv audio to a respectable degree even without.

Perfect! We're thrilled that you are enjoying the sound quality of the soundbar. You also made the right choice in adding the optional subwoofer and rear speakers. Take your entertainment to a new realm of audio immersion. 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.
