Sony BRAVIA Theater Quad with Bass Module vs Sony BRAVIA Theater Bar 9 with Speakers + Bass Module

The Sony BRAVIA Theater Quad with Bass Module is a bit better than the Sony BRAVIA Theater Bar 9 with Speakers + Bass Module for most people. The dedicated four speaker and sub bundle of the BRAVIA Theater Quad creates a more immersive surround sound experience and a bigger stereo soundstage with slightly better dynamics. On the other hand, if you watch a lot of dialogue-heavy media, the dedicated center channel of the BRAVIA Theater Bar 9 reproduces clearer speech. That said, the clarity of the BRAVIA Theater Quad's surround speakers is worth it for most people, given that neither comes with an equalizer.
