Sony's Bravia Theater Bar 8 sports a total of 11 speakers, Dolby Atmos support as well as HDMI 2.1, Spotify and Apple AirPlay compatibility and some more advanced features such as 360 Spatial Sound Mapping.

In preparation for the colder months of the year, many TV owners are likely in the hunt for a decent soundbar with Dolby Atmos support and much more power than regular integrated television speakers. That's why Sony has now introduced a mentionable discount on one of its high-end soundbars, the HT-A8000.

More specifically, the price for the Sony Bravia Theater Bar 8 soundbar has dropped quite significantly on Amazon as the e-commerce giant is now selling the Dolby Atmos-capable audio system for just $698 instead of $850. However, shoppers who are looking to maximize their savings should head over to GreenToe, which is where the Sony HT-A8000 can be ordered for $649 from a Sony-authorized retailer. In both cases, soundbar buyers can take advantage of one of the largest discounts thus far for the Sony Bravia Theater Bar 8, as illustrated by Camel's Amazon price history.

For more technical details on the Sony HT-A8000, we recommend checking out Rtings' comprehensive review. While the testers criticized the rather limited surround sound immersion of this standalone system, the support for many audio formats including Dolby Atmos and DTS:X. Thanks to HDMI 2.1, the Sony soundbar can also passthrough a 4K 120Hz signal and, even more importantly, makes dialogues much clearer and easier to follow compared to integrated TV speakers.

Last but not least, home theater fans should be aware of the fact that the Sony Bravia Theater Bar 8 should be expanded with a fitting subwoofer and satellite speakers in order to tap its full potential. Although these add-ons are pretty pricey, TV owners who would consider enhancing their audio system later might want to make the first step by ordering this Dolby Atmos soundbar from Sony.
