Audio Upgrade For My Sony A95K 65" OD-OLED | A5000, SW3 & RS3S

[@lvproductionsinc9748]

Just so you know you never have to use that soundbar remote unless you really want too. Everything to control the soundbar actually will pop on in an on screen menu like when you press settings for the tv. It all pops up together on screen and the tv remote will control everything you need to function for the soundbar so you never even need to use the soundbar remote.

Hey TK,, love the your videos man,keep them coming 👍... I need a little advice, as much as I love the A95K, trying to save a little money..So I'm torn between the Sony A90J 65 inch or the LG G2 65 inch.. both are priced at $2800....seen them both in person,they both look awesome... just undecided... I'm NOT a gamer, I'll primarily be using the TV to watch 4k movies, upscaling DirecTV content and some sports like baseball,, soccer.. The LG looks a little brighter than the A90J??. but on the other hand, had people tell me the processor is better on the A90J... which would you recommend for me and why?.. thank you brother, appreciate you 👍

[@AllAboutTKK]

I’d go G2, if this were 2021 A90J, although I do still have that Sony in my personal top 10 even with 2022 models considered, that G2 is dangerous and even gives the 2022 QD-OLED models a run.

[@Ryzza5]

It seems like you planned to raise up the TV to make room for the soundbar but said it didn't work. Do you have more details? My plan similarly is to throw a few pieces of wood under the TV stand. Do you have any knowledge how well this A95k would integrate with an older Sony soundbar (HT-NT5)?

I would put nothing under this tv. The real solution is to get the mount I got from Sanus to levitate the tv.

[@andrewgirard8446]

Hey man! Been really enjoying the content for a while, but just subscribed today. I have my Sony A90j, with HT-A7000, the SW3, and the RS5s. I upgraded from the RS3s, but to be honest you'll get a fairly similar experience with the RS3s, so I wouldn't worry about upgrading for your bedroom set up. As far as keeping the soundbar behind the TV, the s-center channel works in tandem with the center speaker of the soundbar, so I'm not sure if it's going to sound a little muffled, but at least the audio from the screen should compensate a bit! As far as the subwoofer, does it sound like it rattles to you at lower volumes? Sometimes it sounds like it's trying to add bass to content, but if the volume isn't there it kind of just sounds like you hear the speaker in the sub moving without producing any sound. I've always wondered if this occurs across the board, or if my sub got a little damaged. The box had a significant gash in it, but there was no visible damage to sub. At volumes of like 30 or higher, I don't notice it. It's just at lower volumes sometimes. I would appreciate your thoughts! Thanks! Keep up the good work!

[@Braconara1981]

Get an ikea shelf to rise the tv on, behind the TV I imagine the sound is pretty muffled, not doing the system any justice as it needs to breath. Would also recommend not to pair the sound to the TV speakers, due to the fact that the drivers are completely different hence different timbre and less cohesion.

[@AllAboutTKK]

Not muffed at all not one bit. The one tiny middle speaker acts as a center for almost all the dialogue on this bar, that versus the actually TV, in my opinion it’s a better option. Again my opinion. No audio test to really showcase but I went for convenience, I don’t really want to change my living arrangement just for this setup, I do appreciate that recommendation brother.
