Alternative to SoundBar HT-MT500 to take advantage of SRS-ZR5

I've been looking for the HT-MT500 soundbar for some time for the following reasons:

- I have a Sony HD-55XE8505

- I had purchased two SRS-ZR5 wireless speakers in 2018 to have an audio source behind the sofa and not to disturb wife and children

- I then discovered that it was possible to pair them with a soundbar wirelessly

- I have no big claims and the compactness of the HT-MT500 soundbar is perfect.

- Unfortunately I did not catch some offers and now it is almost impossible to find one, even a good used one.

Do you have any suggestions on a great alternative to the HT-MT500 compatible with Wireless Surround to take advantage of the SRS-ZR5?

Will Sony replace it one day with a more updated one?

Where could I find one, preferaby in Italy , at a reasonable price?

Thanks a lot,

Angelo

You can find a list of all compatible soundbars or "Home Theatre" system (that's what the HT at the beginning refers to AFAIK) on this page.

Thanks.

since HT-500 are out of production I think I will go for a Sony HT-ZF9 ( aka HT-Z9F ) that seems support Wireless Surround.
