If you are on the hunt for a five-star Dolby Atmos soundbar at a dazzling price drop, you've come to the right place. The Sony Bravia Theatre Bar 9 is selling for its lowest price ever, boasting £400 off its usual price.
You can now get it for £999 from Amazon, making this deal best we’ve ever seen on the award winning soundbar.
With convincing Dolby Atmos delivered in a neat package, this is a deal worthy of a closer look.
Having reviewed the Sony Bravia Theatre Bar 9 in our dedicated listening rooms against key rivals, including the Sonos Arc, we can confirm it is one of 2024’s best Dolby Atmos soundbars.
At a technical level it's impressive, featuring a 13 driver setup that pairs four front woofers and three standard tweeters and two beam tweeters on the side. Up top these are complemented by two up-firing speakers. That’s a significant step forward on the HT-A7000 it’s replacing – which was itself an award winner during its launch year and top performer until the Bar 9’s arrival.
During our tests we found the Bar 9 delivers excellent audio with superb clarity, detail and punch. But what sets it apart from rivals is the sense of directionality it brings to movie audio. Most soundbars struggle to deliver any sense of height, a key part of Atmos’ goal to deliver “a dome of sound”, but the Bar 9 manages to – albeit not to the degree a full Atmos setup with ceiling speakers would.
We said as much in our review where we concluded: ”the Sony Bravia Theatre Bar 9 is comfortably better than the excellent HT-A7000 that preceded it. For clarity, detail, dynamics, solidity and outright Atmos-ness, it’s hard to fault, and its design is a big improvement, too.”
