Our Verdict

Sony HT-A9

Sony BRAVIA Theater Quad

The Sony BRAVIA Theater Quad is the successor to the Sony HT-A9. The newer model has flat, rectangular speakers rather than the HT-A9's cylindrical design. This makes the Theater Quad speakers easier to mount on walls or in tight areas, making the most immediate difference between them the design of the discrete speakers. Other than that, the systems perform very similarly.
