The soundbar market is dominated by TV brand models, but apart from that, there are some real class offerings around, such as the JBL Bar 1300 that we've just reviewed.
"Performance aside, the great attraction of the 1300 lies in its simplicity. There’s little to do by way of fiddling except for some minimal adjustments to the levels of Dolby Atmos effects and the bass, for example, and of course the volume. If you are the type of soul that likes to muck around with output levels and the like, you may find this frustrating; I didn’t."
