'The potent TV audio upgrade that needs an upgrade': I reviewed Sony's new mid-price Dolby Atmos soundbar, and even though it nails some things, it just doesn't have it everywhere it counts

Sony’s Bravia Theater Bar 7 leaves me wanting more, but not in a good way. The support for HDMI passthrough as well as both DTS:X and Dolby Atmos are great, but the lack of bass depth and immersive positioning of sounds undermine it. Dialogue is good, but a lack of music connectivity and EQ options is again just too limiting.

Pros

+Easy setup
+HDMI input
+Dolby Atmos and DTS:X
+Expandable with optional subs and surround speakers

Cons

-No optical or analog inputs
-Very few sound settings
-Limited streaming options
-Poor bass performance
