Theatre Bar 9 mate, I have it and it's a beast and works seamlessly with my Bravia 9. Add in the wireless subs and rears and it is a fantastic plug and play system which is 'relatively' cheap. Going for a Sony SB will also allow you to use the Centre Sync too which admittedly is sometimes a bit off depending on contact but still good when it works properly.

I have 85 Bravia 9 with Theatre Bar 9 the wirelesss rears and bigger sub. Whilst I have posted often about the TV upgrade being a case of diminishing returns, I can't fault my sound set up. Obviously it's not a true 5.1 or even 2.1 system but it does sound incredible and for a plug and play option does what it's supposed to perfectly, although it is on the pricier end of soundbar set ups.

Ja Sony är fina grejer! A7000 är utgående modell så finns bara på Amazon vad jag sett. Annars är det Theatre bar 9 som är deras flagship nu 👍

I got a Sony Theatre Bar 9 because I like Sony integration. I like it. Got it on sale.

I have a Bravia 7 with Sony Theatre Bar 9 and mine sounds good. Have the same settings as you too. Weird.

Dude there are tons of other options besides Bose and Apple. You've got Sony theatre bar 9, samsung q990f and JBL Bar 9. All excellent choices. Oh and there's Sonos Arc as well (it's the most expensive one out of these). But I'm pretty damn sure all of these are gonna give you more value for money than Bose.

I've got the Theatre Bar 9 and it's really underwhelming.

Nope, the unit itself is fine. What I'm trying to say that, the overall quality is definitely good, but for that price range I expect it to be excellent. It's definitely not worth the money imo.

Bar 9 with sub and rears is great. Sure it's no audiophile level stuff, but for ease of use and $, it's great bang for the buck(s)

This is the way. I have these and the sound bar 9. It definitely makes a huge difference overall. And watching movies is amazing to me. But that’s my personal opinion

I'm gonna say Sony new theater 9 given you want a soundbar with as much potential as possible on it's own. maybe add a sub. sony with sony does make sense for two reasons... sony is top 3, the calibration w/ your tv shouldn't be overlooked. Just my opinion
