Good investment
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Gives really good sound. We have hung under wall mount. Surprised it is angled slightly downward but does make sense to project sound. Improvement over Samsung bar we had.

Posted .Hi NicholasE, We're happy to hear that you are overall pleased with the audio quality and performance of your HT-A5000 soundbar. Your feedback regarding the bass of the built-in dual subwoofer of the unit is greatly appreciated. The built-in dual subwoofer of the unit 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). 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). An optional wireless subwoofer allows a built-in dual subwoofer in the soundbar to handle bass and vocals with the optional wireless subwoofer focusing on low-range sound. For even more cinematic thrills with sound directly behind you, add our optional wireless rear speakers. Thank you for choosing Sony! -Jess
