so I finally pulled the trigger on a 65 inch Sony Bravia X90L and man the picture is incredible but the speakers are just absolute garbage honestly. I've been staring at my screen for three hours trying to decide between the Sony HT-A5000 and the Sonos Beam Gen 2 and I am just stuck. My logic was that if I get the Sony bar it has that acoustic center sync thing so it works with the TV speakers but then I saw the price and started sweating... its like $800 plus tax here in Chicago and that doesnt even include a subwoofer.

The Sonos Beam is cheaper and everyone says the soundstage is better for small rooms like mine but then am I gonna have issues with the eARC or the remote not syncing right? I really want a one-remote setup because my wife will lose her mind if there are three different clickers on the coffee table. I also looked at the HT-G700 as a budget pick but people say the vertical surround is kinda fake sounding. I need to buy something by tomorrow so it gets here for our movie night on Friday and I'm just spiraling. Is the Sony on Sony synergy actually a real thing or is it just marketing fluff that isnt worth the extra 300 bucks? I just want something that sounds full and doesnt require a degree in engineering to set up...

I fell for the Sony synergy hype with my own Bravia and it was a total letdown. That acoustic center sync sounded tinny and weirdly distracting... definitely dont pay the premium for that Sony HT-A5000 5.1.2ch Dolby Atmos Soundbar. If you wanna save cash, the Vizio V-Series 5.1 Home Theater Sound Bar V51-H6 handles eARC perfectly with one remote and includes the sub. Honestly, save your money.

Building on the earlier suggestion, be careful with that Sony synergy marketing. Your Bravia remote should control almost any eARC bar through CEC anyway. Quick tip: just make sure Bravia Sync is enabled in your TV settings. Before I suggest anything else tho, are you planning on adding a sub later or do you need a standalone bar? If you want value, Samsung HW-Q700C 3.1.2ch Soundbar is worth a look.
