Soundbar Recommendation

I’ve just bought a Denon DHT-S517 Soundbar with Subwoofer (£250 ish) and I’m impressed. It’s very definitely a big improvement over the standard speakers on my Toshiba TV. Very easy to set up and works with the TV remote control. IME you really need something with a subwoofer, even if you’re only us

HEOS Soundbar Replacement

I have a DHT-S716H, the Denon rebadged HEOS bar, both the stunning design and performance is amazing - not keen on the 550, the older DHT-S517 looks promising..

Should I get a soundbar instead?

I recommend Denon soundbars. I have dht-s517 and I think it sounds better than same priced LG / Sony / Samsung. Works for music too. Very basic settings tho. I just have it at "music" all the time. Night mode works well if you need to be quiet sometimes.

Samsung mid range options

Interested in what you end up going with. I too am in the market for a bar in that price range. Woot also has the Denon DHT-S517 for about $200 that I was eyeing. Reviews on that unit seem pretty good

My JBL 5.1 soundbar audio quality progressively worsens

I know it's all personal preference but I wouldn't count on JBL for longevity personally. I am sorry to hear that tho, def a bummer. It's the JBL Bar 500? Same model they have out now or an older version? Jw. Also, I have personal experience and have heard some others report bad connections between

Looking to buy parents a soundbar

Denon S517... or if you want super buck saving and just need more oomph go for the entry level Sony HS100F I think is the number. It's only 2 channel but it packs a surprisingly good punch. Been our bedroom sound bar for a while now. Not much low end tho but no subwoofer that's to be expected at low

Those who have this, do you like it?

I had this, but I traded it in for a Denon DHT-S517. It’s basically the same bar, has all of the same features but has an HDMI in. I would recommend the Denon if you’re still in the market. But yes, while I had it I did really like it.
