Thanks for the review but when you have the speakers no wider than a soundbar, you are really missing the benefits of how this system performs. If you can't place the speakers any wider than a soundbar, then personally go for a soundbar. The quads work miles better when you have them at a larger distance to create a bigger sound stage and envelope the room.

@marcfavellАй бұрын
Honestly the quad really impressed me when I went to the store to hear it and in your setup there you would benefit a lot more to position the speakers at wide sides of tv It really makes a big difference I tried moving them around at the store and then redoing the calibration it does sound better when you have them further apart like a real quad setup from the 70's

Thanks for the review! I've watched a few of these and I notice you are the only reviewer who has explicitly stated that this unit supports Chromecast (built-in) 5:25 -- can you confirm that with certainty? It does support Spotify Connect and Apple AirPlay, but Sony seem to have removed the Chromecast built-in which was there in the previous gen (HT A9)

Chromecast was dropped.:( I have it on the HT-A9 though.

My major sticking point with product is the lack of a center channel for dialogue. I watched a review that stated that dialogue can only be heard clearly if you are sitting front and center. If you are not sitting center you're not going to hear dialogue clearly. For the price of this system there shouldn't be any caveats at all.
@marcfavellАй бұрын
Actually dialogue is really good even without the center believe it or not If you hear it you'll know what I'm talking about even when you sit off access is still very legible without any enhancement on

Speakers such as JBL Party Box Ultimate and Sony Tower 10 are party speakers with high power, Sony Tower 10 will definitely be the winner in loudness and bass compared to other home theaters, but the problem of party speakers is that the sound They have mono and this makes them significantly different from home theaters in terms of sound and soundstage. Sony's home theater will definitely be the undisputed winner in terms of sound quality and soundstage compared to Sony Tower 10, but Sony Tower 10 will definitely have stronger bass and louder sound

@nlamste35 ай бұрын
Great video! It is too bad that the bass is deactivated when adding an external subwoofer. It would be great to have more balanced bass and overall bass when needed. Secondly too bad you can't combine a soundbar (as centre speaker) with the Quad. You would expect this could be combined using the app? Lastly, is switching HDMI cables not annoying if you use blu-ray player and a Nintendo Switch for example. There is only one HDMI port, or could you attach a HDMI splitter?
@ecoustics4 ай бұрын
If you connect your Switch and Blu-Ray Player directly to HDMI ports on the TV, you only need to connect the HDMI eARC output between the TV and the Quad system and the TV will switch sources and pass the audio through from the TV to the Quad. Sony TVs can passthrough DTS:X and Dolby Atmos through their HDMI ports to the Quad via eARC (I've tested it). Other TVs should be able to passthrough lossless audio as well, as long as they have an eARC HDMI port.
