Our take on the Sony HT-S20R 5.1 CH Soundbar

The Sony HT-S20R is a 5.1-channel soundbar system: a main bar, a wired subwoofer and two wired rear speakers for true surround sound. It supports Dolby Digital and Bluetooth streaming, and it is one of the few entry-level bars that includes real rear speakers rather than virtual surround. It suits people who want a full home theater setup on a budget and have room to run cables to the back of the room. Compared with pricier Sony bars and rivals like the Samsung A-series, it lacks HDMI and Wi-Fi, but owners rate its surround effect and bass highly.
