Pros

  • Unlike a soundbar, a modular home theater speaker system where speakers are separated can often deliver exceptional sound for movies and music. e.g. Sony HT-A9 or Sony Quad or Sony Trio
  • a modular home theater speaker system where speakers are separated can often deliver exceptional sound for movies and music. e.g. Sony HT-A9
  • I've always heard great things about the HT A9 (aside from the drop out issue)
  • Sony HT-A9 (2021, mint used): $800
  • we went back to the original HT-A9. She also preferred the sound of the originals over the Quads as well, for some reason, the give off better Atmos effects in our room.

Cons

  • I’ve been using the HT-A9 for many years now. ... I still love the HT-A9 with Sub 5 but itching to upgrade. ... Still living with occasional dropouts - The sub is underwhelming

Really love the quads hta9 but the price on those is enough to buy a cheapo car.

New different approach helps with separation of the channels: Sony’s HT-A9... They all offer as much width as you like (even if you have 110” TV or projector screen)

I have the HT-A9 and believe I saw compatibility update for the new Sub 9. Definitely considering this down the road.
