D) and a slim subwoofer that you can slip under your couch to feel every punch and explosion.The Sony HT-MT300 soundbar punches well above
sounds good coming from the Sony HT-MT300, though we wished for a wider and more immersive sound stage
The two woofers in the soundbar are quite close to each other so physics is working against the soundbar when it comes to stereo

how the strengths of the platform.Pulling it out of the box, the Roku Smart Soundbar is a pretty basic 2.0 soundbar
It has a workman-like performance that's a clear step-up from 10W TV speakers, but it lacks the clarity and dimensionality of soundbars
that are just a few hundred dollars more
You can add some of that in by combining the Smart Soundbar with the Roku Smart Subwoofer ($179.99) and Roku TV Wireless Speakers ($199.99),
Vizio SB362An-F6Impressive sonic upgrade for your TV, at a bargain-basement priceSpeaker configuration: 2.0 | Claimed audio power: N/A |
Connections: Analog, Optical and BluetoothPowerful, dramatic soundDolby Audio and DTS Virtual:XNo dedicated tweetersNo HDMIThe key feature
bargain-basement price, the SB362An-F6 is neatly designed, measuring 36 inches wide, and a streamlined 2 inches high, and 5.2 inches deep
unit, the soundbar houses four main drivers, with a pair of 2.6-inch (67.8mm) full-range woofers and two 3.0-inch (76.2mm) sub-woofers,

soundJust when you think you really know a company, it goes and releases something completely out of left-field
or TV through auxiliary in.Best described as an all-black, half-size sound bar, the Leviathan measures in at 19.7 x 3 x 2.8 inches (W x H x

The Dolby Pro Logic II codec will transform any signal (analog, optical or Bluetooth) into simulated 5.1 surround sound
