All 3 will beat the Sony you are considering. Try buying an item from a manufacturer that specializes in that area. Buy Speakers from a Speaker MFG, not a company with their greedy little hands in every electronic device known to man.

Velodyne makes Subwoofers and not a million and one other items like Sony, none of which are great besides their TVs.
