Sony HT-RT5

Clear and detailed sound ; Fast, attacking delivery ; Excellent features and connectivity ; Useful set-up and remote control

Surround experience isn’t satisfying ; Rival soundbars offer neater solutions and more engaging performances

A pricey soundbar system with plenty of features, but doesn’t deliver satisfying surround sound

Fits the TV well Not too heavy Looks good

Set up due to lack of clarity on instructions

goes quite loud

can,t hear back speakers

everything is surround sound (even adverts and music).

doesn't go loud enough for some tv programmes only auto switches on for one input (in my case apple tv). won't auto switch on when i switch on my satellite box

Sound volume was extremely low.

Wireless on the second one worked so no unsightly wires

surround sound really does not work

Cool

Good system with built in Bluetooth and wireless speakers makes is it to install - no messy wires.

Sub woofer failed within 3 weeks of purchase which is very disappointing. Automatic speaker set up didn't result in right balance with rear speakers and sub to get a decent surround effect.
