Sony SA-RS5 surround speakers REVIEW & HT-A7000 Soundbar update

I’ve upgraded my Sony HT-A7000 soundbar with the new SA-RS5 rear surround & Atmos up-firers. Are they worth the premium over the RS-5S surrounds?
I also give an update on how I’ve been getting along with my HT-A7000 soundbar - and answer the oft asked question as to why I chose the HT-A7000 rather than Sony’s HT-A9 surround system.

Here’s an AMAZON USA AFFILIATED LINK to the HT-A7000 and accessories https://amzn.to/3RGP1dI

Regularly asked question
Q) Why are there comments from days ago when this video has just gone live today?
A) Patrons https://www.patreon.com/techmoan usually have early access to videos. I'll show the first version of a video on Patreon and often the feedback I get results in a video going through further revisions to improve it. e.g. Fix audio issues, clarify points, add extra footage or cut extraneous things out. The video that goes live on youtube is the final version. If you want to see the videos early too, you can sign up to Patreon here: https://www.patreon.com/techmoan
