The Sony HT-A7000 is certainly not a bargain, but it is impressive all along the line. For a one-piece system, it gets the maximum sound power out of its slim body. It places 3D effects exceptionally well in the room. Other soundbars in this category don't manage this nearly as well...

Sony's new HT-A7000 soundbar flagship not only offers great sound, but also a high level of streaming functionality and expansion options. However, all this does not come cheap.

    With the HT-A7000 soundbar and the HT-A9 home cinema system, Sony brings two living room-friendly sound systems that impressively bring immersive 3D movie sound into the living room. Both systems deliver top performance in terms of sound and surround effects. Installation and operation via the on-screen menu are also child's play.
