Frustrating
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sony is not what it was. The sound quality is great but probably not better than a Vizio. Connectability issues. Will not connect with Alexa through the Sony app. Randomly switches from hdmi to tv output.

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
