      Hi LoriJ,

      Amazing! We're glad that you like the sound quality and plug design of the soundbar. You also made the right choice in getting the Sony subwoofer. 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. Thanks for choosing Sony!

    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
