On Monday, we reported on a new sound bar, the Sony HT-RT5. What makes it different than previous sound bars out there is that it offers true 5.1 surround sound and not simulated surround sound, thanks to its rear wireless speakers. Though mums been the word on a North American release, Sony has revealed some of its specs though it’s not as extensive as our usual pieces. Sony will likely release more information as we near its mid-July release.
