SA-SW5 - The perfect edition to system
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Much larger than I expected but I have to say, this Base is the perfect addition to the Sony Bravia Theater Bar 8 or 11. I started out with a Sony Theater Bar 8 and the SA-RS5 rear speakers and the system sounded impressive. But adding this base was a fantastic addition to the sound system.

Disappointed manager
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Product is great, Sony never disappoints! The worst part of my transaction was that I purchased everything online and did a same day pickup…told order was ready for pickup…only to show up and be told we are out of stock, instead of manager finding a way to make customer happy- I had to tell him to call other BB locations, so I could then drive an additional 1/2 hour to go pickup at another location, he didn’t have the training to think of this. Great managing skills! Thank you BB

Top notch
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It sounds great! The bass is really crisp. I’d recommend getting two subwoofers if you can. I started off with just one since I’m on a budget. Sony products are top-notch—they’re reliable and built to last.

Great subwoofer
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I really like the SW5. Has a good amount of punch, looks very nice and discounted at a sale open box it definitelly justifies the addition. I never liked open box purchases but this was great. Excellent condition working without issues. Paired it with the AN-1000 AV receiver and Sony A80L. Center speaker from the TV and ceiling speakers for front and surround. Very pleased.
