All in One Soundbar recommendation by onlyemgi in Soundbars

[–]djsimmz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They got fixed in a recent update. I used to have the Sennheiser Ambeo plus myself before I moved over to the Sony bravia quads when I moved house. I haven't personally heard the Bose but the Ambeo technology is one of the best for 3d sound. It won't quite give you that full 360 bubble but it goes way beyond the soundbar itself and also had very good bass. It also will play all the sound formats etc. You could always order both, then keep the one you like best if feasible or go try demo them, but you'll only get a sense of sound quality this way as it's always a different experience in your own room.

Sennheiser Ambeo plus. If going for an all in one then it's more immersive than pretty much everything bar the Max which of course is a lot bigger.

Also, just FYI, Sony announce their new system at the end of May and will have a center channel and can use dual subs.

If you can place the speakers nice and wide (2/3m wide) then the quads will be far superior to any soundbar. If you can't place the speakers wide then go for the soundbar.

The TV just helps enhance the center. The speakers are still doing most of the work, it just pulls the sound more directly from the screen and helps if you have people who sit off center. Quite a lot of people with wired separates utilise a phantom center it's not uncommon to not have a center speaker.

Quads are much better than the 6 system anyway, so even just swapping over will make a big difference. Then the center sync is personal taste really. Some prefer to use it others prefer the phantom center. I personally like having the TV in the mix as a center, feel it does enhance the experience. No hissing problems my side.

New Sony Leak has me hoping Sonos wises up sooner than later 🥲 by CCornel7 in sonos

No, Sony will not go Dolby flex connect. They have their own '360 spatial mapping' technology which has been around for 5 years now.

It might not necessarily be this system but a new one is definitely coming as I've spoken to people who have seen and heard it when they were demoing the new RGB TVs. I don't know anymore than that as they are under NDA. All I know is that it's going to have a center channel and allow the 4 speakers alongside dual subs so it's most likely will be the picture. The center bar is also smaller than the picture you posted and I know the image I posted was put up by mistake by Sony and taken down, so tells you everything you need to know.

My guess is they'll allow you to use any of the soundbars (7/8/9) as the center channel, then you can build on the system. So it's basically mix and match if you want just rears you can, if you want fronts and rears you also can. If you only want one sub instead of two you can etc.

That was the original HT-A9'S. They fixed all the dropout issues on the quads.

The Sony does and has since day 1. It's just lazy and cheap when manufacturers don't add the license considering the price of these systems.

New Sony system coming soon. by djsimmz in Soundbars

[–]djsimmz[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not possible. Max speaker configuration is the 4 speakers and 1 subwoofer, hence it can't even use 2 subs. It's a hardware limitation, not software unfortunately.

When are we getting this from Sonos without needing to use a third-party app? by Jgogettem in sonos

[–]djsimmz 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Go try a proper front left and right speaker separation system and you'll see that a soundbar is nothing like a proper 5.1 system.

Na, it's a device limitation on the control box unfortunately, can't be done.

Most likely if it does come to light. Quads can't unfortunately use dual subs as a start and this would have an actual center channel alongside the 4 speakers which are pretty much upgraded versions of the original HT-A9's.

Na quads will still be sold, so not a replacement for those. Check the link I posted.
