Sonos Playbar vs Sony HT-Z9F

Sonos Playbar review

The first explicit advantage of Sonos in the Sonos Playbar vs Sony Z9F comparison is the fact that the Sonos Playbar features an unusually clear and precise sound, characteristic of acoustics with an aluminum case. It conveys both music and dialogs equally well. Given the available speakers, the bass can be called very impressive. With relatively small speakers, the Sonos Playbar is capable of delivering medium bass with amazing power. However, the low and ultra-low frequencies do not succeed - they are simply reset. This means that only the Playbar will not be able to convey the whole dynamics of an action-packed explosive film. Compared to traditional configurations, a system without low frequencies also lacks some heat. Its output power is 200W. There are 3.0 built-in channels.
