BRAVIA Theater Quad Home Theater System, Surround Sound Systems with 16 Speakers, Supports Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, and IMAX Enhanced, Home Theater Sound System (HT-A9M2) (Renewed)

Setup and calibration was straightforward. I have a terrible living room for acoustics (think vaulted ceiling with weird angles and no normal walls and tons of glass)… That all being said, their calibration is awesome. Paired with the SW8 subwoofer, it shakes the house. Friends are always commenting on how well the virtual speakers work, paired with how balanced the audio feels. Warning though, you will become an audio critic overnight. You start to pay extra for atmos support (HB* M*X) and you can tell if the audio mixers are bad at their job… Overall, this thing is awesome. Im sure a hardwired AVR setup could compete, but for the convenience and this ‘just works’, i would do it again in a heartbeat.

I think this sound system sounds great when you take the time to configure...and when you add on a sub its GREAT! But I do have some beef. There are connectivity issues with the Wifi on the app. Normally I wouldn't care but in this case its easier to make adjustments and sound fields on the app then to try and do it from the remote.

Great sound for home theater and music easy set up if you have a sony bravia

These are really good, except that you cannot fully control the sound. I believe having a Sony tv may give more options, but i already had a Samsung tv. Anyway, absolutely no center voice ever plays out of the rear speakers in this system, which means the voice is always at the tv. I thought i would be able to adjust the sound to the center of the room, like in a vehicle where you can adjust left to right and front to back, but I cannot. I ended up adding the Samsung soundbar I already had, but put it at the back of the room, behind my couch, and upside-down (to keep left to right correct). I use it in clear voice mode to get what the song is not giving. I need this because my hearing is not perfect, my couch is 10 feet from the tv and right at the back wall where the rear speakers are, and is difficult for me to hear the dialog above the background sounds without the Samsung soundbar. Other than that, it's a great system and easy to set up.

I had high expectations for this Sony sound system based on all the positive reviews and hype online, but unfortunately, it didn’t deliver. The sound quality was noticeably underwhelming and far below what many reviewers and pundits have been praising. I expected rich, immersive audio with strong clarity and depth, but instead got something that felt flat and lacking in impact. For the price point and Sony’s reputation, I genuinely thought this would be a standout system—but it fell short of even basic expectations. Overall, I’m disappointed and wouldn’t recommend it if you’re looking for premium sound quality.

Ultimately pleased but more detail as to why it was sold as refurbished would've been nice. All four units were dented on the top. I realized they wouldn't be perfect and they seem to work just fine, so I guess that's the price of not buying new. In general, the system works wonderfully. I found that it was insufficient without the subwoofer so I bought one of those separately, but together, it's an amazing auditory experience. Didn't take long to get the app set up and get the speakers connected. The subwoofer was a bit more cantankerous but I got there.

It came in geeat! But I'd beware of this seller. Seller mentioned it was like it was never used. But many speakers had a bit wear and tear. Most of them had dents at the top. And a few had some stripped screws for the standa. The hdmi cable it came with was also a cheap one and did not have the ability to teansfer over the correct hdr information (1080p/4k cables will be fine) so the actual surround sound did not come through without additional purchases. Overall I consider myself incredibly lucky that they work great. But again, buyer beware for this price.

The system visually looks good. No cosmetic issues. The system appears to be working. No missing parts. No original packaging or documentation. The main box was worn out and tape was loose.
