I was currently using the Sony A7000 soundbar that I’ve had for a while along with the Sony RS5 rear surrounds and my problem with those surrounds was they were never really loud enough when connecting to that specific soundbar. I’ve had friends with the Bar 8 and 9s and same surrounds and theirs sounded much louder. Anyhow, I wasn’t willing to give up on my A7000 so I decided to try these new surrounds and see if they made a difference and OH BOY YES THEY DO. They are much louder, height effects are more noticeable, sound is punchier and tighter. These are also much taller than the RS5s and I believe the speakers are larger as well so that could also be helping with them being louder. Thank you Sony for fixing this issue. I wasn’t ready just yet to upgrade to the Bar 9 as I still love my A7000. Please don’t second guess and buy these as they are amazing surrounds you will not regret it. PS. These seem to also have similar specs to the RS5 surrounds but believe me they are LOUDER. At least for the A7000 soundbar they are
I would recommend this to a friend!

Hello there,
Thank you for choosing Sony!
We couldn't be happier to hear that the SARS9 surrounds have made a significant difference with your HTA7000 soundbar, delivering louder volume, punchier sound, and more noticeable height effects. It’s great to know that the taller design and larger speakers are enhancing your listening experience just as you hoped. We also appreciate your kind words about not needing to upgrade your soundbar while still enjoying this improved setup. Your thoughtful recommendation means a lot to us and others considering these surrounds.
