Wow...I finally get to experience the HT-A9 wireless system...but now it's even better, and has a different name! :) This is not an official review of the system, but please enjoy the unboxing and app setup to see what you're getting! Pretty amazing stuff! Full review coming hopefully soon when the BRAVIA 7 TV arrives so I can test out the center sync feature with this new Theatre Quad. Stay tuned!

I have the HT-A9. Immediately, there are 2 differences. The Quad uses your phone's mic to accurately create a 3D map of your sitting location within its sound bubble, and the sub should automatically calibrate based on your distance from it. I think this is already a step above the HT-A9. This may just eliminate the settings in HT-A9 where it asks me if I'm sitting closer, in the middle or further away in relation to the front/rear/left/right speakers but we'll find out in the review. Will the rear speakers volume increase if I change the setting to sit closer to the front speakers or the other way around? I have a 2019 X900F TV that is too old to work with center sync so I will be looking forward to the Bravia 7 MiniLED and Bravia 8 OLED audio tech comparison. I think Bravia 8 has a superior Acoustic Surface Audio+!
Great! waiting you review compare sound with HT-A9

After years of begging, Sony never ended up sending me the HT-A9, so I honestly can’t compare the two. 🤷♂️
Woop. Planning to possibly upgrade to the 77" Bravia 9 with the quads as the tv has very good beam tweeters so it should also work as a decent center channel. On the old version the speakers and tv play independently, on the new version the TV gets included with the calibration and plays in unison so it should be much better.
@ealanosborne

Exactly! They definitely stepped up their game with the built-in TV speakers on the Bravia 9. Kinda makes me wish I got that, but I’m pretty sure it’s the Bravia 7 that’s headed my way for review. I’m stoked to test all these things out, though!
In your hometheater room, can you set it up randomly and also whatever the position your room supports and compare the results. Am having ht a9, fronts are 6 feet apart, rear left id one feed behind seating location faving exact opposite and rear left is exactly facing seating position. Am satisfied but i want to know how it works for u.pls post waiting for your video
So only the QUADS and the SUB is all that's needed? No need for a soundbar? TY

You could technically use this system with a VAVA projector as long as it has an HDMI port labeled “ARC.” But that’s limited to 7.1 surround. To truly experience Dolby Atmos and DTS:X you would need to use the projector only for visuals, and connect a Blu-ray player or streamer into the Theater Quad’s HDMI input.

Nah. They’re stable. And I’d hear any vibrations or rumblings if what I was watching/listening to caused the speakers to move. 👍
He's talking about ear level, how about eye level 😅. They must be watching while standing. Lol
I hate the internet connectivity and app requirements and user account requirements for these products. Its a loudspeaker not a PC. Just feels wrong.
I hope you didn't start your review just yet, but what the deal, with the giraffe ears levels front speakers 😅, don't think you will be able to get the full experience that way, Don't get me started on the TV height 😂
Sooo...Sony doesn't have a new ATV to compete with Yamaha ATV ......
I do not like you have your tv hanging so high above the fireplace.
The room is to big for these speakers
First
I like it can u send for me ❤

No way these little tin speakers justify a 3k price.
Who told americans that it's cool to have a TV above the fireplace? Just NOOO!
What is going on with this shit black and white packaging , miss those days of colorful luxurious outer packaging😔
Its an expensive aesthetic disaster!
