Samsung has had great success with its soundbars in recent years and is constantly battling Sonos and JBL for the largest market share in the soundbar industry. This is probably partly because many Samsung TV buyers choose a soundbar from the same brand – but also because the manufacturer has put a lot of time …
Samsung has a wide range of soundbars that are popular companions to their TV models. The premium mid-sized HW-Q810D is new this year and is actually their largest soundbar without wireless rear speakers. With support for both Dolby Atmos and DTS:X, it’s well equipped for multi-platform cinema entertainment. Samsung HW-Q810D The Samsung bar is approximately …
The JBL Bar 800 is a highly versatile soundbar with detachable rear speakers and a powerful 10″ wireless subwoofer. The fact that you can get a wide stereo soundstage with the rear speakers docked on the soundbar, or even more impressive surround sound with the same speakers placed behind the seating position, should make this …
The bass response of the small speakers has its limitations, but the midrange and everything it manages to reproduce down to about 70 Hz is enough to get the depth of the bass out into the room in a believable way. Arild Andersen’s double bass sounds convincingly clear and distinct, but it’s the sound of …
We’ve been waiting for a Sonos subwoofer at a more reasonable price. Their only subwoofer so far, simply called Sub, at a price of €699 is too expensive for the average user of soundbars like Beam or Ray – and especially the small multi-room speaker One – to ever consider it. Sonos Sub, on the …
The first time we reviewed the Sonos Arc was last summer. A likeable soundbar, that completely on its own – without a subwoofer or anything else – managed to elevate the film experience considerably. Not only is it much better than the sound you get from any TV (like mostly anything would be!), But it …
KEF has had great success with compact speakers recently. The speakers in the LS50 series have received much praise, and especially the latest version of the LS50 Wireless II has garnered much praise in tests. But even brilliant speakers like this lack something important: Real deep bass. That’s exactly why the KC62, the latest subwoofer …
If you want to experience proper bass in movies and also elevate your music listening experience in two channels or more, it’s going to cost you. Good, hard-hitting subwoofers tend to be big and often ugly, too. Luckily, that doesn’t have to be the case. Sigberg Audio specializes in good quality subwoofers that are barely …
“How low can you go?” In ten years, American SVS has managed to become one of the most respected subwoofer manufacturers on the planet. They are also among the rawest when it comes to producing proper dyyyp bass – you know, the one that goes all the way down to the basement, vibrates the foundations …
There are not many soundbars with the length of the LG SK10Y. It measures a full 144 cm, the same as a 65-inch TV. The benefits are obvious. First, you have to place the speaker elements far apart, to create the widest possible sound image. Second, a larger cabinet volume will provide fuller and more powerful sound. The …
Klipsch The One is, like Beolit 17, intended for the more mature audience than the distinct ghetto blasters. It is part of Klipsch’s Heritage series, which is a tribute to the company’s long-standing past. And the illusion is perfect. With its cabinet in real walnut veneer and coarsely woven front fabric, The One looks like …
American Klipsch has been around for over 70 years, and is a well-known brand for those who love bass, pressure and fresh sound levels. In conjunction with the launch of the new Reference Premiere series, Klipsch also released three new subwoofers: a sensible 10-inch, a just-right 12-inch, and a wild 15-inch. You can guess which …
