The LG SN6Y is better than the Sony HT-S350. The LG is a 3.1 setup that has better center and surround performances. Some listeners may also prefer its more neutral sound out-of-the-box. Unlike the Sony, it has DTS support, and there are even more sound enhancement features like bass and treble adjustments.
