Looking for the best sony subwoofer to complete my home theater

Just upgraded to a 75" Sony OLED and now my sound system feels lacking. Thinking about getting a Sony soundbar with subwoofer to match, but I'm lost in all the options. My living room is about 20x15 feet with 9-foot ceilings. I'm big on movies and gaming, with some weekend music sessions. Trying to keep it under $1000 if possible, but flexible for the right setup. Any recommendations for the best sony subwoofer or soundbar+sub combo? I've heard their wireless subs are good, but I'm open to suggestions. Thanks!

Nice upgrade! For a room your size, you'll want to balance power with control. Look for a sub with a driver around 10 inches - it'll give you that low-end punch without overwhelming the space. Pay attention to the wattage too, sometimes it's better to have a slightly less powerful sub that you can push harder, rather than a beast you have to keep on a leash all the time.

Keep an eye on that crossover frequency when you're shopping. It's where the sub takes over from the main speakers. Too high, and things sound muddy. Too low, and you miss out on that punch.
