Sony is pulling no punches with the BRAVIA Theatre Bar 9. It’s their top-of-the-range model and looks the part with a chassis as wide as a 65in TV. Designed to hide all that mass in a sleek form factor helps and is quite the engineering feat, especially when you consider that it packs 13 active drivers inside its slim profile. Of course, there is enough tech to keep you and us busy for days, but since this is a magazine and not a whitepaper, we’ll keep it simple for you.
