Sony Bravia Theater 8 Review: Big Sound, Subdued Looks, Hefty Price

 

The Sony Bravia Theater 8 offers excellent home theater sound but is not the first port of call for music lovers.

Great simulated surround sound ; Extra HDMI input ; Solid upgrade path

Not as feature-rich as competitors and costs more ; No music mode
