The Sony HT-A9 is a premium setup with a very unique design. Instead of a wide soundbar, it comes with a small control box and four satellite speakers. Sony's 360 Spatial Sound technology is advertised to create a more immersive listening experience with a wide-sounding soundstage. It also has Sound Field Optimization to calibrate your setup based on your room's acoustics. It supports Atmos content, and it has a very immersive surround performance.
