Sony will enjoy the digital sales made due to lack of disc drives. I doubt they will do anything to address this, either way they make money.

With a new soundbar likely around the corner the perfect solution would be to retire the current app and its associated products and make a new one that only works with the new products. A bit like what happened last time.

I’ve had this AVR since its launch and what’s really taken me by surprise is its music stereo performance. I actually prefer it over my dedicated stereo amp. It’s just smoother and easier to listen to over longer periods. Also Dolby Atmos music is good fun too and really shows off how much...

The app has thousands of 1 star reviews on both android and iOS since they updated the app. I use it myself and the negative reviews are justified. People move to Sonos from home theatre set ups etc and they really don’t appreciate being treated like simpletons. The CEO is out of touch.

I’m not convinced by the look of the bar 9, it’s too generic for my taste. I get people might not like the look of the a7000 but it did stand out from the crowd. Put the bar 9 and a7000 next to the beosound stage, devialet dione, ambeo etc and it’s the bar 9 that looks the most cheap and tacky...

I too cancelled my prime sub. I don’t miss it one bit, and hearing this news further validates my decision.

They need to find a way to wireless pair these speakers so you can make a 4 channel system.

I needed a reason to cancel this service.

I always wondered why no one has integrated a streaming box for TV/ movies into an AVR or soundbar. Maybe Sonos will do this.

The Atacama Moseco XL 600 is a perfect fit and height for the Kef R3 Meta. It’s base is good quality wood making it a good fit for the walnut one.

I have these in walnut and agree with every word and description in this review. I was particularly surprised at the amount of detail and clarity at low volume listening. The R6 Meta is probably the dark horse in this new line of speakers so be sure to give it a test if you can.

Firmware 1.73 is out now so it’s a fully fledged HDMI 2.1 AVR now. It’s also probably one of the best all round AVR’s. You’ll have to buy something like the Arcam AVR 31 if you want to properly upgrade from it, although Arcams software and system stability is a huge downgrade from this and...

I like the blue one the best.

I seen a lot of hype around the QD-OLED TV’s so it was good to read a balanced, sensible review and take on the new tech. I’m interested but will wait and see how this compares to the Panasonic LZ2000.
