Sony HT-A3000
The premium 3.1 all-rounder — great single-bar sound that expands into a full Sony surround system
Key characteristics
Highlights
- ✓ Built-in dual subwoofers for punchy bass from one bar
- ✓ Sony 360 Spatial Sound Mapping for virtual height
- ✓ Expandable with wireless Sony rears and a sub
- ✓ Acoustic Center Sync with compatible Bravia TVs
Our take
The HT-A3000 is the smart mid-premium buy: it sounds full and detailed from a single bar thanks to its built-in subwoofers, Sony's spatial processing gives a convincing sense of height, and you can add wireless rears and a sub later. It's not true Atmos surround on its own, but as a bar you can grow into it's a strong value.
