LG isn't the only consumer electronics company looking to sell you very expensive sound equipment with Google Cast built-in. Sony has just announced a line of sound bars and A/V receivers that will support Google Cast. As with LG, these will not be cheap devices.

Sony's new sound bar collection has four different sound bars including (in ascending cost) the HT-CT380, HT-CT780, HT-NT3, and the HT-ST9. The cheapest one is $349.99 MSRP and the most expensive goes for $1499.99. Note, only the HT-NT3 ($700) and HT-ST9 ($1500) have Google Cast, but all of them support Bluetooth. The Cast-enabled speakers also come with a separate subwoofer, and the HT-ST9 does 7.1 surround with seven discrete amplifiers and nine speakers in the single bar.

There are only two receivers, the $500 STR-DN860 and the STR-DN1060 for $100 more. Both of these have Google Cast as well as 7.2 channels and Bluetooth. These devices will plug into your existing A/V setup. Check the PR below for full details.
