Sony - BRAVIA Theater System 6 (HT-S60)

Dunno about this one but my cheap old Sony DAV-TZ140 sounds better than the HT-S60 😭. I bought the HT-S60 a few days ago.

Just blindly go for the Sony HT-S60, I have one and it’s excellent! Sound is dynamic and bass is genuinely powerful. Plus you can control it with your Bravia TV remote Just one caveat is to be prepared for manual software updates via usb-c

I don't know much about how to define sound but I can relate. Theater system 6 is suited best for those who like the sound of bose soundlink flex. System 6 has a flat sound with ample bass which will not give you headache even after listening for longer time. There is no higher pitch sound so it lacks details of music instruments of higher notes.It is good for enjoying low volume peaceful soothing music but not for high volume rock music. It is best suited for movies anytime and it can beat any other speaker near to its price. Samsung 990 has much clarity and can be a device for both music and movie lovers..If cost decides choice then only system 6 is a better choice. 

I didn’t realize that the Sony, the Bravia ht-s60 was the Bravia 6 soundbar! Does it come with rear speakers because in the US they sell it without rears for $599-699 and with rear speakers for $799-$899. Depending on if it’s on sale. My mistake, if it comes with rears, yes get the Sony over the LG and JBL. If it comes with rears for $600 or less that’s a great price here. It gets good ratings too. I have Sony Quads that are amazing but cost $2500 US. Good luck

Yea I’d forget the one without up firing speakers as that does make a huge difference. I know what your budget is and if you don’t mind piecing a system together then I’d say do you have Costco where you live? Or can you order from there online? I say this because their previous flagship which I had the a7000 has a bar almost exactly the same but has 2 less drivers. It’s a 5.1.2 with upfiring speakers but it sadly doesn’t come with rears speakers or a sub but many people have found it produces just enough bass to satisfy them and they buy the 2 options of rear speakers that go on sale often. The bar itself is the a5000 and it used to cost $899 brand new and Costco had a huge clearance on it for $279 US. It’s an amazing sounding bar but like I said you would have to buy rears separately when you get enough to save. One is sr3 rears that don’t have upfiring and cost between $279-$399 and the rs5’s which are pretty awesome. They are $599 but go on sale for $399 on Black Friday. So that’s just a thought because the a5000 is so good you might be happy enough without rear speakers. And if you don’t mind piecing have a Costco, and don’t like it you can return it, but it kills everything on this list. Heck I paid $1299 for the a7000, $599 for the rs5 rears and $599’for the sw5 sub and just sold it all for $600 and the guy drove 5 hours to come get it and he’s loving it now going on 2 months. Sorry about this long ass story. Just don’t settle and make sure you can return it for free. Good luck my friend

Sony Bravia theatre system 6  has thumping bass module

Since u didn't mention tv it's difficult to say Here is my take with Airtel dtv and optical cable with decades old lcd sony tv I was able to connect this sony htS60 bought for around 49K inr Set up is in my hall of size roughly 14x10 feets It's more than enough for a room My usage is generally movies . With rear speakers and no charging /battery hassle It feels great value for money which I didn't found on lg or samsung . After owning this I must say it's all about your like what kind of bass u like and what u use it for and room size It's not about how much watt it is , or how big speakers or sub it has But how many unit it has like 5.1. etc. and how they are calibrated. If u want much better experience then shift to sony quad remember quality comes with price Better recommended to have avr and amp with different speakers but it requires lot of expertise

Ya the HT S60 is pretty disappointing

seconded. the sony does have better bass than the 930F, but the 930F has a better bubble surround experience. The samsung would suck for stuff like rock though, the bass isn't good enough. It's decent for movies etc, not so much for music Have a listen to the 930F, the sony system 6 and the jbl 1000, you should be able to get that one for about 64k (slightly outside your budget) and see which sound profile you enjoy. The JBL is kinda decent for your needs (excellent bass decent surrounds), but the dialogues on that thing can feel a bit recessed. The sony is decent over all, no issues for me but for the single HDMI port. Samsung I have put down my thoughts on already. would suggest staying away from LG, their bars used to be quite excellent, but they have started messing up since the LGsp8a and such were launch. The sound doesn't feel full enough.

this one is a tough choice. I'd probably go with the system 6, but keep in mind it only has 1 hdmi EARC port no others. If that's going to be a problem, go with the 800, although it's a decent system over all, dialogs at times can feel a bit recessed on it.

System 6 has a huge woofer and makes your house vibrate. I personally feel great

I got the new HT S60. Lots of stuff. But you have to give up HDMI output and then you can only use EArc from the TV. And also on the display, you can see the format from the app. It was fine with me and I'm very happy with the purchase

Actually I had same issue to choose soundbar between samsung Q930F and System 6. If you have Music especially Bass lover then go for sony and if you want balance surround and true Atoms sound then go for Samsung Q930F. Few cons in system 6 if you are unaware of this: 1) no wifi and other connectivity 2) no display (although you can operate from app) 3) No upfiring drivers ( very critical) 4) only one HDMI port Few Pros : 1) 1000W capacity. If you are having very big house then system 6 is best 2) low frequency sound is awesome 3) Best for Music 4) if you having sony eco system then will get merge with system very well I choose Samsung Q930F because of true and balanced Dolby atmos sound.

Brother please read my comments first, i never say samsung Q930d is best of for Music. I prefer system 6 if only Music is my priority. And as far as ceiling height is concerned you can't generalize same height for all house Pan india. It's actually personal choice as per indian household sizes and for me upfiring drivers are very important for you may not. Hence its going to be subjective. Let OP decides what's he wanted as per his choice and what's his house demand.
