Sony Bravia Theatre Bar 9
A
Ranked #5 in Soundbars
Backed by 3 cited sources
Covered by 3 outlets
Sony's 13-driver flagship single bar earns five stars from What Hi-Fi? for sound-mix subtlety and room-filling scale, and is 40% slimmer than its predecessor. Excellent, but at $1,400 it costs more than an Arc Ultra without clearly beating it.
