- Sony has just announced the HT-A9’s replacement, the Bravia Theater Quad. But is it a BIG upgrade over the A9 and what new features does it have? I visit the Fukuoka Tenjin Sony store here in Japan for a demo and get invited to the Sony VIP Privileged theater for a better sound experience.

All sound was filmed with a binaural mic, wear headphones for the best experience.
So a cheaper remote with lesser features, fabric instead of metal enclosure and in general a smaller footprint (probably cheaper to produce), the control box material downgrade and the price in Europe is now €900 more, €2900 vs the A9- €2000. Seriously what is Sony doing. There maybe more antennas but this is going to be a mild upgrade over the A9's performance. Sony fix your pricing in Europe!!
If anything the HT-A9 will probably be more sought after, after looking at Bravia quads numerous downgrades and ludicrous price increase. That price increase should be on Gen 4 or 5 not freaking Gen 2. Seriously the HT-A9 worked completely on its own and required no phone to calibrate. That makes the system itself an absolute gem!
Sony should have definitely made a centre speaker for this setup it's the most important speaker, dialogue all comes out of the centre
So awesome SONY recognized you and gave you the VIP room. Kudos to them. Big kudos to you for your objective review nonetheless. I agree with you. Great video.
I just picked-up the Sony HT-A9 + SA-SW5, about 2 months ago. It finally went on sale, 30% off on both. Loving the A9, but the SW5 sub is disappointing because it lacks punch/power, imo. Sony should provide an option to add additional subs and speakers, through a firmware update ( keep dreaming).. Through your video, it seems to me, as if sony is cutting cost by changing speaker material and down sizing the remote with the BT Quad. I too prefer the A9 speaker design and remote. By the way, another great video, keep them coming, thanks.
Good system weak deep bass
I agree about the smartphone issue. The samsung q990C also forces you to use a smartphone to control everything and even if you try to use the provided remote all the sound settings are hidden away in multiple presses of the same button. Verrrrry annoying.
They should have improved the Wi-Fi signal on the A9 and added new speaker types, like a center channel, so you can mix and match as many physical speakers as you want in the room to get a better and better experience. So obvious of an option but here we are.
Looks good but I've heard the Samsung 990 D is a much better Atmos DTS X solution for movies 🍿..I got the Nakamichi Dragon 11.4.6 and I believe that's in another league to all of these systems
Each to his own, I like the design, definitely getting my system very soon.
Man those speakers sound amazing
Thanks for posting the video I've been searching UA-cam every day since last week and you are the first to do a video on this new product. I think the design of the new Quads will work much better for wall mounting, they look a bit strange to me on the high stands. Although I'm not sure how you can toe them in if they are flat against the wall. Perhaps this isn't necessary with 360 spacial audio? I read the new Quad speakers have got two wifi modules now that can switch to ensure the best connection to prevent any possible dropouts. I'm certainly going to give this system some consideration along with the new BRAVIA Theatre 9 that also features the 360 spacial audio and is considerably less to buy. Although from everything I've read and the video reviews I've seen the HT-A9 offers much more spaciousness to the front sound stage with the speakers being further apart than what is possible with a soundbar.
Man it’s feels good to be honored doesn’t it? 😊 great work buddy. Keep going!
Great job Blazin Reviews. I like your first impression here and I love the movie atmos test: Top Gun: Maverick.
I KNEW you’d be the first to review in person.. well done!
the A9-M2 has 4 speaker per unit, 3 front facing, and 1 upfiring, compared to Ht-A9 with 2 front facing and 1 upfiring, the M2 has an additional mid range speaker per unit and marketed to have better sound stage than A9, do you think if there's actually improvements in this regard?
Nice review. I'm definitely gonna buy this system and i noticed your sub placed on stand by the side of your couch. I was wondering where you had bought this stand and if it makes a difference in the LFE (clearer / less boomy )? at least i suppose your sub doesn't bounce around and rattle on your wood flooring. THX
You say you don't like using a phone to control Sony Quad setup but I use my mobile app to control my Marantz AV Receiver because my Marantz AV Receiver is behind doors in a cabinet, so it's handy having a app on phone to control AV Receiver
I agree, I like the original A9 better. not sure why they did a complete redesign, that makes no sense. These new Quad look like a Lacie hard drive. like the new remote. the less buttons the better.
