Best praise vs top criticism for Sony HT-S2000

Best Praise
+3 pts
“The S2000 isn’t horrible sounding for its current price point. $300 for a compact 3.1 with atmos/dts processing. I’d also look at Sennheiser. I NEVER hear anyone talking about their ambeo systems. Most immersive bar without rears I’ve heard. Got a long time Bose fan hooked on the brand”
