Sony has revealed its Sonos-rivalling and HT-A3000 soundbar replacement: the Sony Bravia Theatre Bar 7.
The new soundbar goes big on Dolby Atmos for three-dimensional sound, with centre/left/right speakers to the front, a pair of upfiring channels, and central bass.
That means nine speakers create a 3.1.2 system which even caters for HDMI 2.1 passthrough – unlike Sonos' Beam 2 which only has a single port for eARC.
In the battle of the best soundbars, there are lots of options out there. While Sonos is among the market leaders with its Beam 2 mid-size bar, now Sony has a new strongly-specified rival.
