Sony's Bravia Theater System 6, one of 2025's standout home theater packages, just dropped to $598 from $800 during Prime Day - marking its lowest price yet. The 5.1-channel system combines premium surround sound with wireless convenience, making it a compelling alternative to complex multi-speaker setups that usually cost thousands more.
Sony's Bravia Theater System 6 just became a lot more tempting. The Japanese electronics giant's 5.1-channel home theater package, normally priced at $800, has dropped to $598 across Amazon, B&H Photo, and Walmart during Prime Day - marking its steepest discount since launching earlier this year.
The timing couldn't be better for home theater enthusiasts. As streaming content gets more cinematic and gaming experiences become more immersive, the gap between basic TV speakers and true surround sound has never been wider. Sony's latest system bridges that divide without the complexity of traditional multi-speaker setups.
"It's Prime Day times, and one of my favorite sonic surprises of 2025 is getting a sweet discount," writes WIRED's Ryan Waniata in his deal coverage. The system earned praise for delivering "some of the most thrilling and musical surround sound you can get for the money."
What sets the Bravia Theater System 6 apart from typical soundbars is its comprehensive component approach. The hefty subwoofer serves dual duty as both the bass foundation and the system's central hub, housing all inputs including HDMI eARC for seamless TV integration, digital optical, and 3.5mm analog connections. A slim soundbar handles front channels, while dedicated surround speakers create true 5.1 positioning.
The wireless architecture eliminates most cable clutter - the subwoofer connects to the soundbar via a single flat cable, while surround speakers link through a separate amplifier box. It's more involved than plug-and-play soundbars but significantly simpler than traditional component systems that can require runs of speaker wire throughout a room.
Performance wise, early reviews highlight the system's ability to deliver "punch and verve in the bass, smooth musicality and poised dialog from the bar, and clear and fluid surround channels," according to Waniata's full review. While it lacks upfiring drivers for full Dolby Atmos height effects, the system does a "commendable job virtualizing Atmos" content.
