JBL Bar 1300MK2 vs. MK1: Massive disappointment (Defective unit?) - Non-existent bass & static noise

I’ve got the 1300 MK 2 and the bass has been pretty immense, so much so I’ve had to turn it down a touch and that was on the 3 setting, now it’s a little under 3. During the opening of one of the latest Stranger Things episodes something happens before the titles and it literally shoot everything, t

JBL Bar 1300 MK2 (Europe)

Hey, I also had a Q990D, and even with the bass levels set to max and all the sound effects turned on, it was still very underwhelming for music listening. For movies it was OK, especially those with Atmos, however for louder scenes the sub would rattle and make unpleasant sounds. I ended up returni

JBL Bar 1300 MK2 (Europe)

best soundbar with satellites for atmos under 1000?

Check JBL too, I replaced all my Sonos Gear with a Bar 300 and a Bar 1000 and it's quite amazing. The Bar 1000 or 1300 MK2 would be great, probably even the Bar 800 too if you are on a budget.

I need help. I don't know what to get.

I own the 990F. The JBL 11.1.4 soundbars are better for music. One of them (the cheaper) 1300 mk2 is more bassist too. But it was 25% more expensive when I bought my Samsung.

Sonos vs Lg?

Sonos is in a very bad situation since almost 2 years because they moved the whole software platform to a cloud based system. They are very slowly solving the issues but it's so bad they fired their CEO and the new CEO just gave an interview to Bloomberg to explain it will take a lot of time. This i
