WHAT EACH CHOICE ASKS OF YOU

What it brings and what to check

Sony BRAVIA Theatre Bar 6

What it brings

HDMI eARC, Dolby Atmos and DTS:X are explicitly supported, with connection-dependent formats retained.
Manufacturer source
A dedicated centre channel is documented alongside voice and night listening modes.
Manufacturer source Manufacturer source

What to check

There is no HDMI source-input socket: external video devices connect through the TV rather than passing through this bar.
Manufacturer source
The total-output number is a manufacturer claim without a matched continuous RMS test basis in the retained table; it is not an independent loudness ranking.
Manufacturer source

Yamaha HS5

What it brings

Rated 74 Hz–24 kHz at −3 dB and 54 Hz–30 kHz at −10 dB, with separate amplifiers for the woofer and tweeter.
Manufacturer source
Balanced XLR and phone-jack inputs plus HIGH TRIM and ROOM CONTROL switches let the monitor be matched to studio interfaces and placed nearer walls.
Manufacturer source Manufacturer source

What to check

Sold singly: a stereo setup needs two monitors, and signal cables are not included.
Manufacturer source Manufacturer source
No Bluetooth, USB, optical or RCA input is listed, so consumer sources need an interface or adapter. The supplied mains cord is regional.
