Editor's note

This is my pick for smaller rooms: Dolby Atmos and plenty of bass for movies and TV. In a tight space, that surprising amount of bass is what wins people over.

Why we picked it

Best for: A bedroom or a small living room with nowhere to put a subwoofer.

Atmos in one compact box with no subwoofer to place, plus full Sonos streaming. Height is rendered psychoacoustically, not by up-firing drivers.

What we like

+ One compact box with no subwoofer to place, which is the whole point in a bedroom or a small room
+ Dialogue clarity is genuinely good for a bar this size, which is what most people buy a soundbar to fix
+ Full Sonos streaming, AirPlay 2 and multi-room membership when the television is off
+ Trueplay tuning adapts it to the room rather than assuming a reference space

Watch outs

- No up-firing drivers: height is psychoacoustic processing, not sound coming from above you
- No subwoofer means the bottom octave is absent, so impact arrives without weight
- Reaching its full potential means buying a Sonos sub and rears, which is a large further spend
- No HDMI input, so every source has to run through the television and back out over eARC
