Can absolutely recommend recalibrating the JBL Bar 1000 and instead of placing the satellites beside your seating position in step 1 as indicated, put them much closer to the soundbar. Then for step 2 in their intended position as usual. This really changed the game for me in terms of rear speaker v

Neat! Will be interesting to see how the Bar 1000 is going to compare. Happy to help anytime, let me know if there are further questions. One tip for the JBL Bar setup is that for calibration step 1 to not put the rears beside you as indicated, but in front of you nearer to the soundbar. And then st

Sonos Arc Ultra. One thing I have noticed which really separate Sonos and Bose is the clearity of sound you get from Soundbars. I have used JBl BAR 1000 and Samsungs at my friends house and I have Bose and tested Sonos. No comparison of Bose and Sonos in quality, calibration of each sound and crisp,

According to number 4,discovered that when you Calibrate this system the sorround effects lowers so much, but discovered another trick is to calibrate the main bar save and skip the speaker distance (rears) by plugging off the soundbar from electricity and switching off the rears, after reset from j

When calibrated (even with the trick with putting the speakers closer to the soundbar during the first calibration stage) the rear speakers were very quiet and I could barely hear them. Without the calibration, the audio experience has been com

Avoid Sonos. They are still in deep trouble because of software issues since almost 2 years now. Some days ago even their current CEO acknowledged they have a lot of work to do to fix all these issues. You will find here a lot of influencers to tell you that all issues are solved or they never exper

You should probably avoid Sonos given their huge software issues which are still not solved after almost 2 years of shitstorm. We replaced a Beam by a JBL Bar 300 ald a Sonos Arc + ones with a JBL Bar 1000 both are incredibly better. I don't know for your specific JBL model but mine are both very we

Alright so I’m in an apartment, I don’t have all the fancy speakers per se BUT I have the JBL bar 1000, think of AirPods but in soundbar form. The buds (rear channels) come out of the soundbar and you put them behind your seating area to turn into surround sound. I got a hella good deal on it and tb
