    Bought the Ht7000 soundbar, this sub and the two very overpriced satellite speakers. Over 2 grand for all of it but I wanted the best for my 83” Sony A90J. Honestly, after all was said and done, it sounded amazing and the voice output from the soundbar was phenomenal but in the end, it just didn’t and couldn’t do what a Denon receiver, a HSU mkII 15” sub and my previous Definitive Promonitor 1000’s could do. So it all went back and my system now sounds like An IMAX theater right there in my living room. AND I saved 400 bucks. Don’t get me wrong this is an awesome sub but just can’t compete with a “REAL” sub. It’s really too bad the prices for the Sony pieces were so high but I gotta hand it to BESTBUY THEY GOT ME $200 off the sub, $200 more off the bar and they were so professional and gracious when I returned the items. Thank you BestBuy!

    Sony Needs to Scale this Up. Still a Must Have

    Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    This is a must have for your Sony HT-A9. Sony needs a lot of work to improve the -25hz and below. If you have higher end systems like an AVR. You’ll know that this wireless base is lacking that lower end response and can sound boomy. Sony needs to work on this for their next model release. Study the SVS mini sun and scale that up into the next wireless sub. They also need to enable consumers to add two of these (dual-sub) for their higher end soundbar. Needs a lot of work. But it is a MUST HAVE.
