Sony has made a very clever move and while it may sound counter intuitive, handing over the choice of components to the consumer is rather clever. Instead of an overall expensive package, Sony sells the HT S2000 in parts. For the price mentioned, you only get the soundbar as a sole unit. You then have the option to add the SA-SW3 (₹ 29,990) or the pricier SA-SW5 (₹ 61,990) subwoofers along with the SA-RS3S (₹ 35,990) wireless rear speakers. For the review Sony sent us the wireless speakers and the SW3 subwoofer which combined would cost ₹1,08,970.
Now at this point of the review we often struggle to make the individual components sync up and talk to each other, but Sony has taken care of that.
The Sony Home Connect App simplifies things and automatically detects the speakers and units. The whole process takes merely two minutes and you're up and running without any complications and more importantly frustrations. The app offers handy settings for bass control as well.

YG Acoustics Carmel 3
On paper, the Carmel 3 from Colorado-based speaker specialist YG Acoustics has a credibility problem. They cost a huge amount of money but are small, rather plain-looking two-way floorstanders.
