Sony TV sound

Since I installed an 85" Sony TV with eARC last week I've tried several widgets aimed at connecting it to a Bryston SP3 processor that predates ARC.  I assumed the surprisingly good sound from the Sony would be fine for TV, but not for movies.  Last night I discovered how wrong I was.  I played a version of Legend of the Ring and was astonished by the sound:  immersive with a large frequency range.  How Sony achieves that is beyond my understanding, but my quest for connecting my audio setup with the TV is over.  The Ayre gear will be reserved for DSD and Blue Ray, except the Ayre DX-5 DSD sends superb video to the full LED array TV.  I'm a very happy camper.

My Sony OLED TV uses transducers built into the screen for incredible audio sound.  Furthermore, the sound comes from the individual person speaking.  A few adjustments to the TV’s built in equalizer made me realize a sound bar for our purpose wasn’t needed.

I also have a Sony OLED TV, and the built-in sound from the TV is surprisingly good, far surpassing any other TV I've owned.  I initially thought I'd get a sound bar, but realized it wasn't necessary.  And for reference, I have a fairly high-end 2-channel audio system in another room.  Plus, the Sony OLED picture is superb.

I echo all of this, but still connect through my 2 channel system when watching films, and it is undoubtedly superior.

+1. I have a 55" XBR (not OLED) with great picture quality, 

still sounds a lot better when I feed it through my stereo system.
