What we liked

  • + 10 inch wireless subwoofer and 750W of rated output are built for larger living rooms and loud movie scenes
  • + MultiBeam 3.0 is designed to widen the soundstage for people seated off center
  • + AirPlay, Google Cast and music-service support cover most phones and streaming habits

Trade-offs

  • - At nearly $500 it costs several times the entry bars, so the gain is mainly power and bass
  • - The 10 inch subwoofer needs floor space and a power outlet away from the bar
