Looking forward to seeing you compare these to the HT-A9 rears.

[LRon-efni]

I have the HTA7000 and the Sub. Already, it sounds fantastic. I was skeptical thinking I need a satellite system for true theater sound. Now I can’t wait to add these babies.

[ReneSkotte]

How long are the 12V cables for power supply? Just in case you wanted to install then on a wall with power connected.

[dperez]

So how does the 7000 paired with the rs5's & sw5 compare to the Hta9 four speaker system with the sw5?

[Smmz]

What happened to the comparison video of the 7000 vs the HT-A9 Jonah?

[Zoranurai]

Just got the rs5s in, they are f*$€@ amazing. Best surrounds to date. The a7000 was fantastic, this takes it up a notch

[scoobtube]

Seems like a missed opportunity by Sony not to:

1. Make it possible to use the smaller RS3 surround speakers as mid/side speakers in tandem with the new RS5 surround speakers as rears. This would obviously boost sales of both the RS3s and RS5s, as people wouldn't feel the need to replace the older ones with the newer ones. Instead they could just integrate the old speakers into the rest of the system.

2. Make it possible to use the RS5 as an independent Bluetooth portable speaker. Why add a sizable 10-hour internal battery if you have no intention of using it as an independent portable speaker? Most people are going to use these in a living room or bedroom where they have plenty of wall outlets, so the batteries will go unused by most people. Sony engineers from previous eras would have nailed this dual function potential, but not modern Sony.

Very excited about this series. I went ahead and bit the bullet buying the ht-a7000, sw5 and rs5s yeaterday from Amazon. Should have everything in my house by Wednesday. Wish me luck.

I'M ROCKING IT WITH MY 83" A90J THE A7000 RS5 SW5 & PS5...ARE OUTSTANDING 🔊🔊🔊🔥🔥🔥

[PattyKuluCakes]

I’ve had these speakers along with the woofer for almost a year. I feel like they’re defective or something. Sometimes sound only come out from one rear speaker. I’ve reset, optimized, and reset the wireless channel of the rear speakers and sound bar so many times. Sometimes the sound from the rears is so soft even at high volume and with 7.1 channel audio playing. I’ve got the speakers connected to my 55” Sony A80J OLED tv. These speakers are kind of disappointing, but it’s probably defective.

[Rauhaas]

Im trying to decide between A9 or these with A700 or A 5000. I cannot use sub with my living arragements. Could you also do some sort comparison on which would be best for subless use in one of the upcoming reviews?

[Ali-M]

Imagine rs5 as rear rs3 as side and ht a7000 as front you have a great system

[knightnight]

The wireless option is actually the only reason why I bought these, my setup doesn't allow for them to be plugged in due to the lack of an outlet nor can I run an extension cord

[jamesordinolabarrantes]

Hey great review. Would you tell they'd behave as good as they do if you wall mount them looking forward and no towards you?

[jamestruong]

Hi Which one would you recommend the HT-A9 with a SA-SW5 or a HT-A7000 and SR5 with a SW-SW5? PLEASE

[johncapone]

A7000 with rs5 surrounds and the sub vs samsung q990b?

[jgracie]

Thank you for the review!
Question; are the RS5 speakers able to be paired with the Ht A9 system?

[MasterEggroll]

Do you think these with the ht7000 and sub is better than the HT A9 with sub? I watch movies and video games so would like the best system for that

[fiscustom]

I just got em, worth every penny. They sound amazing in a 24x28 living room. Easily wall mounted, I like the connector holders on the bottom, it’s a nice touch. I got the a7 with the sw5, with these rears it’s all you need. 360 spatial is awesome, I so glad I chose this system.

[mambamentality]

I do not have space to place rear speakers at the back of living room, only front space available. Can I position the rear speakers beside the soundbar at the front?,
