Denon DHT-S517

Denon’s most economical Atmos soundbar, the DHT-S517, is also the only one so far with dedicated top speakers. Moving the height channels to the top of the soundbar means that the drivers send sound up towards the ceiling and then reflect it down towards the listeners on the sofa. This gives the impression that the …

Klipsch Cinema 1200 SPREAD

Klipsch Cinema 1200

Klipsch’s biggest soundbar is really heavyweight, intended for home cinema enthusiasts who want the sound pressure and sound quality you are used to with separate components, but as simple and elegant as only a soundbar can do. However, the Klipsch Cinema 1200 is not discreet. With a total amplifier power of 1200 watts and a …

Sony HT-A9

When you want a simple and practical upgrade of the TV sound, the choice often falls on a soundboard. Unfortunately, even the best soundbars have a rather monotonous and flat sound image compared to a traditional stereo system – especially when it comes to music. Modern audio formats and DSP technology do not quite mask …

Samsung HW-Q960A

Samsung HW-Q960A takes over for last year’s model, HW-Q950T, which we named the best soundbar of the year in the high-end class of 2020. This year’s model is similar to the old one in terms of appearance, but has even more speaker channels to reproduce surround sound. Exactly what that means, we’ll come back to …

Sonos Beam (Gen 2)

The compact soundbar Beam is Sonos’ most relevant answer when the need for good sound in a small TV room arises. If you have a small TV in a small room, you will not want a large soundbar, and that way Beam is right in the eye – or rather the ear. Beam was Sonos’ …

Klipsch Cinema 600

“Wow, that is a menacing looking sub!” exclaims Audun as he sees Geir unpack the box from Klipsch. On the underside of the Klipsch Cinema 600 is a hefty 10-inch woofer, which makes the other test participants fade in comparison. In front of the soundbar there are three horn tweeters for the left, center and …

Marantz NR1711

Getting a real home theater experience in a regular living room is not a matter of course. Especially not if you shy away from “big, ugly” amplifiers and boxed speakers. Most people choose a soundbar, and that’s fine – I have one myself. But there are alternatives that provide much better and greater sound, without …

Epson EH-TW9400

The TVs are getting bigger and bigger in size, and it can almost seem as if 65 inches has become the new folk TV. It should not surprise me if the 65-inch in a few years will be banished to the bedroom, to make room for a 75- or 85-inch. But even then, talking about …

Sony VPL-VW360ES

Sony VPL-VW260ES impressed us with razor-sharp images. Finally, you get the genuine 4K resolution from a projector under the magic price line, and it is impressive in almost all areas. It does have a few deficiencies. First of all, it lacks a dynamic iris, which makes the black level a little brighter than it might …
