Sony HT-A3000 is just a 3.1 Soundbar, don't waste your money on that.

Funny. I just got a Sony hta5000 new in box for $200 shipped from eBay. Great sound. Friends are amazed. Best Buy wants $479 for ht a3000.

I've no experience of the other two, but I would advise against the Sony HT-A3000. I had one and never liked the sound. Voices sound harsh and 'brassy', like there's too much middle EQ on the centre speaker. Bass is there, but with only Min, Mid and Max adjustment, I found Mid was lacking but Max wa

The Sony ht-a3000 is like 100 bucks. How are you getting the 990F for that? The 990F will be much better

Since you're using a sony, you can definitely try the Sony HT-Z9F which is pretty good, perhaps little bit more expensive. Another better option is the HT-A3000, which is a significant step up, a good atmos and sound bar experience, yet costlier. Or your best option and one of the best systems out t

I can confirm this is working on my Sony X90J. I had to make the change in the Spotify mobile app when I was casting to the TV and close/reopen the the TV app. I have the Sony HT-A3000 soundbar connected to it and it sounds a whole lot clearer, especially when the volume is up. Lossless doesn't work

I've never been that impressed with my HT-A3000 either. It just sounds kind of flat most of the time. The only thing that's helped a little is to disable DRC in the settings so that the sound isn't as compressed.

I recently got the 55” Sony Bravia 8. The sound quality of the TV by itself is pretty good, especially compared to other flat panel screens. I’m impressed. I have it paired with a Sony HT-A3000 Soundbar that I’m very happy with. I live in a comparably sized room as you, and it suits my needs perfect

Sonos is a good brand. I’ve heard good things about them. I went with the Sony HT-A3000 because I got a good deal as part of a bundle with the Bravia 8. If you can, I recommend going to listen to it in a store where it’s displayed, so you can see how you like it.
