Sony Bravia Theater 6 deals sees these Dolby Atmos, DTS speakers at their lowest prices

If you are in the market for a 3.1.2 or 5.1 home theater system with support for features like Dolby Atmos and DTS:X, then take a look at these Sony Bravia Theater 6 models, which are currently selling for their lowest prices (purchase links down below).

The Sony Theater System 6 claims to be a 1000-watt sound output system. This is a typical claim from many such systems around this price range. The 1000-watt power is delivered by Sony"s proprietary S-Master Digital amplifier which claims to give "big, dynamic sound in a sleek package." Unfortunately, Sony does not break down the specific power handling of each of the drivers.

Obviously, unlike a stereo system, the surround speakers will output nowhere near the SPL (sound pressure level) as the front speakers, and that is how surround sound processing technically works, the surrounds are not there to overwhelm the front speakers, the sound still needs to come from the front to make sound-stage and imaging correct.

Meanwhile, the Bravia Theater Bar 6 is similar to the System 6 except it is a 3.1.2 configuration. The power output is also lower at 350 watts. However, audio power does not scale linearly but logarithmically. So doubling of audio power means there is a 3 dB increase in the SPL. Thus, the 350 watt output of the Bar 6 vs 1000 watt on the System 6 does not exactly mean that the latter is nearly three times louder.
