Yes, our samples are due any day. Thanks for watching

If you want it direct with the streamer you will need a work around for now until they add it. Thanks for watching

And you have heard them both?

If you have the sub already, we would prefer the set up with the sub. All of their units really benefit from the subwoofer. Thanks for watching

That would be cool

The ones that start with a 7 are the in wall counterparts to the CT700 series. In some cases, they have improved them beyond the CT700 units. Thanks for watching

Yes, it is harder than a shelf system, but if you plan properly for future upgrades, its not too bad

They are better than just about any soundbar we have heard, but separate audio components would sound better for music. Thanks for watching

Glad you liked it! yes, we agree!

We did not test, but would assume if you are putting them in a bookcase, you would want at least 3-4" above the top and to put them towards the front of the shelf. Thanks for watching

@@AudioAdvice thanks, that would be awesome. Era 300 need 60cm, 10 would be a dream. But I can't believe there's no official spec from Sony.

Thanks for sharing!

That should be enough, but like any speaker, more room would be preferred. Thanks for watching

Thanks for sharing!

Yes, whatever results get you in the zone. Thanks for watching

@@AudioAdvice I asked,because dirac said once,adjust the master volume to your normal lstening level- i listen at around +60db (so i think dirac master is turned around like reference setting.So it should be around -20 db i think ;)

Maybe compared to a 12" subwoofer but for their size and for what they are they have incredible bass. You many have heard them where they were not set up with the right setting for room boundaries.

They would functionally do the same thing, but what you ordered would sound better. Thanks for watching

Thanks for sharing, yes we brought up the missing USB to them, hopefully it is an MDC2 future slot.

Thanks for pointing this out, our video editor missed it. We appreciate you watching

It is a new feature for 2024, progress does have to happen or else we would all be using 480i TV's. You can learn more about the 2024 models here ua-cam.com/video/adqyzb8r_NI/v-deo.html Thanks for watching

They trickled down from their professional series. HDMI ARC would have been nice but they do have Toslink. The sound is still some of the best we’ve heard as they are fully bi-amped. Thanks for watching.

ua-cam.com/video/rpnNNlj8QRc/v-deo.htmlsi=Fe7fgbW6fwjx1Sib Here is a tutorial to be sure you have it all hooked up correctly. This TV won't be able to calibrate with the soundbar but should still play in unison with it. It sounds like you have a really great setup and you most likely won't hear much improvement but moving to Sonos in our opinion.

Haha. Yes it was pretty incredible. Thanks for watching

Thanks very much!

Fair enough. We wish they included this feature but we believe it was too difficult to do this and have a good battery life.

We would be happy to help with your soundbar. Please reach out to our team at www.audioadvice.com to discuss your room and the best options. Thanks for watching

Thanks for sharing and we appreciate you watching. You could try putting some 1" think absorptive acoustic material on the ceiling

@@AudioAdvice Thanks. I am going to try that. Previously I used the cheap acoustic foam, which made very little difference.

@@AudioAdvice I'm wondering... I've seen videos where people set up center and side channels to have a different cross-over, so that the low frequencies move from center to L/R speakers, before the subwoofer... How is it possible to measure such a thing to optimal settings?

Sorry, but its a Sony TV feature. Thanks for watching

@@AudioAdvice Please compare Sony Ht A8000/9000 with Samsung q990c/d !!!!

It's not even a "Sony TV" feature. Doesn't work with any 2023 model, except the Oled A95L. Not even the fabulous X95L. F'''k you, Sony.

Wow, you must have gotten one of the very first ones. Sorry you did not like it, hopefully you did the calibration process on it before making your decision.

We got the 8 the first day it came out. I'm not as impressed as this review.

Yeah, we were disappointed with that move.

Do you have any advice for a reliable HDMI Switch?

Interesting. We will look into this.

@@AudioAdvice Thank you! I actually spoke to a rep about this, but would love for you to relay what you hear back

Thanks for the feedback.

You're welcome!

Sony’s is better

We enjoy the new look and especially because there are no reflective surfaces.

It's horrible if u own pets and it looks so cheap 😂

@@Ragnarok20854 Exactly!

Sure did! Thanks for pointing that out!

@@AudioAdvice No problem. Think this is the first actual review of the bar 8 & 9 :) I went for the quads myself paired with an A95L :)

Killer setup!!!

Bypass the projector and plug a Firestick or whatever into the hdmi port directly on the soundbar.

You can still use the HDMI in on the soundbar itself to plug in a source like an Apple TV.

Agreed!!

Agreed! Thanks for watching!

Have you tried the updated version? It's much better in our opinion.

Interesting. We have not tried that one. We will look into it. Thanks!

Yes. Better sound stage, better integration with the rears and subs. 360 Spatial Mapping has been updated and is superior on the new sound bars, you also don’t need RS5s to use it anymore.

Yes it is! Contact our experts at audioadvice.com and they can help determine if it's worth the upgrade for you!

@wellyboot can't exchange it at bestbuy for it even though I bought it last November. Oh well, they only repair it if something is wrong with it

Fair enough. Thanks for sharing!

You should add Sony SARS5 as rear speakers, it would be great.

@@ridvan190333 that’s literally what I said I have. 🤣

@@wellyboot I didn't pay attention while reading :) I read it like SW5 for some reason

Awesome!! We really enjoyed our testing with them! So much better than the last versions.

Sony TVs and many others now have Chromecast built in so it’s not really necessary. There’s no Alexa either but again that’s also on most TVs now. It’s nice to have them but doesn’t make it a reason not to purchase it.

@@wellyboot yes, this is true. I would also like to listen to UA-cam music music or a podcast without turning on the tv. If it has Airplay 2 it should have Chromecast(Google cast). Would be nice to integrate with my system to have Chromecast/Google cast

Thanks for watching!

Definitely!

Awesome break down, thanks for sharing!

Hope you enjoy!

Glad you enjoyed it!
