Thanks for sharing that link, @alexfish. The Sony HT-A5000 soundbar looks interesting. I'm currently using an entry-level model and want to upgrade to something better.

That's a great choice! I've been using the Polk Audio Signa S4 for my Sony 43" X85K, and it has been fantastic. The Bluetooth capability really helps when connecting with my phone or other devices.

Thanks for the input, @FuzzySets. I'll definitely check out the Polk Audio Signa S4. What about surround sound formats? Does it support Dolby Atmos or DTS:X?

The Polk Audio Signa S4 does support surround sound formats, including Dolby Atmos and DTS:X. It's a great soundbar for the Sony 43" X85K TV.

Awesome! I'll probably go with the Polk Audio Signa S4 then. By the way, has anyone used an HDMI cable to connect their soundbar to the TV? Is it worth it?

Yes, using an HDMI cable is definitely worth it. It ensures optimal audio quality and allows for HDMI video/audio pass-through. I've been really happy with my Anker 8K HDMI 2.1 Cable.

Great! Thanks everyone for the advice. I'll look into getting the Polk Audio Signa S4 and an HDMI cable. Hopefully, it will make a significant difference in my audio experience.
