It took a few shows getting used to no center channel. Once your ears and mind adjust it actually amazing surround. Most tv shows and live games produce just a small amount of surround. Playing blu-ray movies through the PS5 is unreal. The PS5 plays surround through PCM, so Atmos is created through the 360 sound of the HTA9. I also have the SW5 sub which balances the surround really nice. My reason for buying is because I got tired of running wires all over my house just to get the surround. The HTA9 does all with 4 speakers plugged into the wall with self calibration. Of all the receivers and surrounds that I’ve had, it’s hard to beat this product!!! Hands down my best yet.

Filled my family room with theater like sound. If you can afford the $$$ you will not be disappointed. Mounted the front speackers to the wall with a mount I made and the back speackers are on side tables

Love it, they’re fantastic! Everyone I’ve shown them to has Been wowed. One friend of mine kept Turning her head very quickly looking to see where the sound was coming from. Of course it’s not exactly like being in the theater, but it’s definitely reminiscent of being in the theater. I bought one for my bedroom and one for the living room with the mandatory Sony SA-SW5 300 watt subwoofer.

I orignally purchased the A7000 along with sw3 sub and rs5 rear speakers. My living room is a open layout connected to the dining area. While I enjoyed this setup with great center cannel dialogue and rear atmos speakers, it wasn’t as immersive as i expected which I belive is due to my open room layout(understand sound bars will never provide true front separation) Missing a side wall to reflect acoustics doesn’t fully utilize the A7000’s abilities. Those with smaller rooms and side walls could have a better experience.
After much research, HTA9 seems to fit the part, better front separation. While, these systems can never replace a true HT Setup, it really serves its purpose and provide more flexibility to without wires. Sound quality is fantastic and with the right content, you really feel the full immersion. It’s as if you are wearing a headset.
The phantom center does a great job at simulating the center channel but this would be the only negative. Ive paired this with my A80J as the center channel which is certainly helps with center dialogue. This will be personal preference based on how it sounds.
Between the sw3 and sw5 sub, the latter provides deeper bass and wider range to suit your needs. SW3 at level 10-12 is equivalent to a 3-4 on the SW5. If you live in a small apartment, recommend the SW3, other wise go for the Sw5.

Like a lot of people here, I am having the same issue with sound drop out through this system. When it does work it’s very impressive but having to reset the system half way through a movie is, the opposite, of immersive. It’s a shame because this is very difficult to recommend based on the current experience and I hope Sony does something to make these expensive, high-end item, more reliable.
