2 Nakamichi Shockwafe Pro 7.1Ch 400W 45″ Sound Bar With 8” Subwoofer (Wireless) & Rear Satellite Speakers

Audio giant Nakamichi are famed for their high-quality, and very expensive HI-Fi separates, but they also manufacture more reasonably priced home theater systems, one of which is the Shockwafe Pro 7.1.

It’s a truly discrete surround soundbar system for experiencing movie theater sound as it was intended. Something that can’t be done properly using ‘virtual’ surround soundbars without real, physical rear speakers.

It’s a 7.1 system, as opposed to the smaller Enclave, we’ve just covered, so offers ‘7’ separate channels plus the ‘1’ subwoofer channel. This gives the audio acoustic wideness and a true to life clarity.

In terms of volume, it’s rated at 400 Watts and is powered by 11 tuned speaker drivers that deliver crystal clear sound, and an eight-inch wireless subwoofer with great low-end down to a very respectable 35Hz.

The units additional HDMI input and the 4K pass-through is great for anyone with a 4K TV. And the connections are reasonably simple and set up should take less than 10 minutes for most users.

The two rear speakers easily connect directly to the wireless subwoofer in the back of the room, so you should experience any surround sound wiring nightmares.

The Nakamichi sounds spectacular for the price, producing a rich, unified sound at all volumes. It will bring out details in movies you’ve watched over and over again, that you never knew were there.

The additional side speakers provide a soundstage that is very wide, with surround sound hitting you from all directions.

The remote is simple and user-friendly and has a backlit display that allows it to be easily seen in darker viewing environments.

The Nakamichi is tough to beat for the price point and is therefore highly recommended.

3 Yamaha YHT-4930UBL 5.1-Channel Home Theater In A Box System With Bluetooth

No one can deny, that Yamaha knows music. It’s one of the world’s largest musical instrument manufacturers and a home theater innovator. If anyone knows how to make your TV, movies, and music sound their absolute best, it’s Yamaha.

For this review, we’ll be featuring the YHT-4930UBL 5.1-Channel Home Theater in a Box System. It supports Bluetooth for wireless music playback, is compatible with 4K Ultra HD TV’s and features a discrete 5.1-channel amplifier design.

It’s another ‘true’ surround system, with five black gloss speakers for the center, front and rear, as well as a six and a half inch 100 watt powered subwoofer. It also has an extra Bass setting, that provides more low-end output when needed, from the smaller speakers.

It’s very simple to set-up and use, the exclusive Yamaha YPAO system automatically calibrates your listening environment for you to produce the optimal sound performance for your space.

It features full support for HDCP 2.2, along with Dolby Vision and Hybrid Log-Gamma. This means you can really enjoy the high definition video quality of 4K without suffering any degradation.

The HDCP 2.2 fully complies with the latest copyright protection regulations, which is now a standard for 4K video transmission.

As well as all this, the Dolby Vision and the Hybrid Log-Gamma compatibility provides incredible picture contrast, along with smooth tone and vibrant, bright colors.

Overall the great price, straightforward setup, and solid sound for the price make it a system we would definitely recommend.

4 JBL Bar 5.1 4K Ultra HD 5.1-Channel Soundbar With True Wireless Surround Speakers

Our next offering comes from another audio industry legend, the mighty JBL, with their Bar 5.1 system wireless home theatre system.

It’s a soundbar system with two detachable battery–powered wireless speakers to enjoy True wireless surround sound and offer up to 10–hours of playtime.

Its power rating is 510 watts, and it features a 10” wireless subwoofer, and three HDMI inputs to connect 4K devices, allowing you to upgrade to an ultra HD system.

Your movies, music and video games will also benefit from the included compatibility with Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic II and DTS. It’s also been designed to work with many (but not all) of today’s top TV remote controls.

This enables you to use your existing TV remote for both your TV and the JBL Bar 5.1.

It’s relatively easy to set-up, with the whole process taking around 30 minutes. But you will need to remember to charge the wireless speakers, which takes about three hours.

It sounds great, the subwoofer really delivers, sometimes a little too much. And it can, if you’re not careful, overpower the low mids. So, it’s recommended that you don’t go mad with the sub and keep it below 20, to get a more balanced sound.

The bass rumbles very nicely, even with the setting below 20, and the overall sound is very accurate and true to life. The surround speakers deliver as they should, providing the immersive experience that turns your living room into a true home cinema.

The JBL Bar 5.1 system sounds superb, just remember to configure it properly and don’t let the bass get too heavy. You can, of course, find a system with better performance, but not easily for this price. It offers excellent value and features for the price. And is therefore highly recommended.

5 Denon HEOS HomeCinema Soundbar With Wireless Subwoofer

From one audio industry legend to another, and now to another… We really are bringing the best of the best in this review. So, while on the subject of best, here’s another top contender for our award of the best wireless home theater systems, the Denon HEOS Home cinema with soundbar.

The system’s clever marketing promises to deliver “less wires and more drama.” A clever use of words, fair play to the ad-men there. But does it deliver on this promise?

Well, it’s obviously wireless, so that’s covered and the sound it produces is dramatic, so it seems that for once a marketing department is being truthful. Fantastic!

The HEOS HomeCinema system delivers true wide range high fidelity audio, to make sure you enjoy your TV shows, movies, and favorite music tracks to the max.

It features bi-amplified mid-range woofers and high-end tweeters, which use advanced DSP processing to sync perfectly with the dual 5.25-inch drivers in the wireless subwoofer. This delivers an immersive virtual surround sound experience.

Like the JBL we just reviewed, it features Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus, and DTS decoding.

The system sounds great, with the soundbar and sub combo being perfectly matched and tuned to work together seamlessly. The factory settings provided when you get the unit are very good, and you probably won’t need to adjust the EQ setting for Treble or Mids at all.

You will, however, need to change the sub’s level depending on how much Bass you prefer and where you place the sub in your room.

Every surface that you place your sub against will increase its perceived volume. A little if it’s simply put on the floor, a lot more if it’s near a wall and an even more if you place it near a corner. So if you’re looking for maximum low-end, you now know where to position your sub.

All this, as you can tell, adds up to a great system, with superb sound and excellent features. It’s also one of the most affordable in this round-up, so there’s another plus.

It doesn’t feature ‘true’ surround sound though because it has no physical rear speakers. So if you’re looking for that, keep reading, if not, this is a fantastic choice for the low price.

6 VIZIO SB4451-C0 SmartCast 44″ 5.1 Sound Bar System

Next, up, we have the VIZIO SmartCast 44” 5.1 Sound Bar System.

We are back to a full surround system again with the Smartcast 5.1 featuring a soundbar with a wireless subwoofer and rear satellite speakers. These deliver a fully immersive 5.1 true surround sound experience to make all your movies and music come to life.

It comes with the downloadable VIZIO SmartCast App2 that turns your mobile device into the ultimate remote. And, with Google Cast built-in, you can easily cast your favorite tunes from over a hundred of your favorite audio Apps to your soundbar.

You can even connect multiple VIZIO SmartCast sound bars and/or speakers together to cast the same or completely different music to any or to every room in your home at the same time.

Regarding the specifications, it’s a 44″ 5.1 channel system which is ideal for TVs that are 42″ or larger. The system frequency response is 40 Hz to 20 kHz. And, features 1 Analog, 1 Digital. 1 Optical, 1 USB, 1 HDMI, 1, Wi-Fi, and 1 Ethernet inputs.

It’s very easy to set-up and configure and delivers excellent sound quality for the price.

The VIZIO SmartCast 44” 5.1 Sound Bar System combines high-caliber audio with elegant style and built-in Google Cast. All this makes it a very adaptable system, it isn’t the best sounding system in this review, but it’s effortless to use and offers a lot of excellent features.

7 Klipsch Reference RSB-8 Sound Bar With Wireless Subwoofer

Klipsch Reference promise you that their RSB-8 sound bar and wireless subwoofer will “seamlessly transform your lifeless room into a live concert venue.” Now that’s a major claim, so let’s see if it’s true?

The RSB-8 is part of the Klipsch stream multi-room wireless solution. The system can easily be controlled from your phone and syncs with any other Klipsch stream products to produce a whole-home audio Eco-System.

It’s easy to set up, and even easier to use. This is again a virtual surround system, like the Denon; therefore there are no rear speakers. To set this up, you simply plug in the soundbar, then place the automatically-connecting wireless subwoofer wherever it sounds best in your room, and that’s it. Now that really is simple.

Regarding the specifications, it features 4K Ultra-HD Video pass-through, HDMI 2.0 (HDCP 2.2 compatible), Optical, Digital, 3.5mm mini plug, Bluetooth 2.0, and WIFI (for DTS Play-Fi) inputs.

The sound quality is excellent; sharp and clear, especially in the highs. The bass is good, but not excessive, and can be separately controlled. It has a dialog enhancement feature which is useful, making what is being said more legible for older ears or those with hearing difficulties.

The surround mode is again ‘virtual’ with no physical rear speakers, so does not produce true ‘surround.’ As for power, it is rated at 100 watts, but depending on your circumstances, that can be more than sufficient for many.

The soundbar sounds better the louder it is played and does not distort when turned up.

The system creates a good movie experience, but it is, of course, no substitute for one with true surround speakers.

Music is easily streamed, and the Play-Fi App sounds crisp and clear. It’s effortless to use, incredibly convenient, and can also synch with other speaker brands that use Play-Fi.

The Klipsch Reference RSB-8 is overall a very solid product. It’s greatest strength is the clear quality of sound. And if the low volume concerns you, go for the more expensive RSB-14, with more power and a larger subwoofer.

8 Bose Acoustimass 10 Series V Home Theater Speaker System

Getting close to the end of our review now and we have another excellent choice with no soundbar – the Bose Acoustimass 10 Series V.

This system is similar to the Enclave and the Yamaha we started off with, in that it has no soundbar, and is a ‘proper’ surround sound system with individual speakers for every channel. So, you’ll get a center speaker, two at the front, two at the rear and the subwoofer which you can place anywhere.

It also costs about the same as the Enclave, so is at the higher end price wise, of the systems we’ve reviewed. But with the Bose, your only paying for the speakers, you’ll also need to buy a separate 5.1 amplifier / AV receiver.

This does give you the choice of choosing the exact AV receiver you want but also turns the whole system into a very expensive purchase.

The satellite Direct/Reflecting Series II speakers have been redesigned from the first Series. With a slimmer profile and can now be mounted flush to the wall. This allows them to blend in with and match flat-panel TVs.

They also now feature precisely angled drivers inside each speaker for an even more immersive audio experience. They’re very easy to install and reduce the extension from the wall by nearly two inches, compared to the previous model.

A special set of wall mounting brackets are available from Bose, but are expensive and don’t work for corner mounting.

The Acoustimass module (the subwoofer) does have adjustable controls for volume and low-frequency effects.

They obviously sound fantastic, but they should when you consider the whole price of the complete system.

If you can afford them and are willing to pay for the quality of sound you get, then go for them, but in terms of good value for money, they fall way short of many of the others in our review.

9 Sonos 5.1 Home Theater System PLAYBAR, SUB, PLAY:1 Wireless Rears Combination

We now have an interesting, very high quality and very costly system from Sonos – the 5.1 Home Theatre System.

It’s actually three separate items, which have been bundled together by one of the popular online retailers to produce a superb quality sound system. They are the Sonos PLAYBAR TV Soundbar, the Sonos Sub and a pair of Sonos Original Play:1’s.

By bundling them together, not only do you end up with a perfectly matched, great sounding audio system but you also save some money as well.

The Sonos Playbar TV is an excellent compliment to HD TVs with a crisp and powerful sound from its nine amplified speaker drivers. It’s great for wirelessly streaming all your favorite music services as well.

Simply connect your Playbar to an Amazon Echo or an Alexa-enabled device, then just ask for the music you love, and there it is.

When paired with two Ones and a Sub included in this bundle it makes a complete 5.1 surround system and gives you the ultimate home theater experience.

It’s incredibly easy to set up. With only two cords – one for power and one for the TV Control. Or use the Sonos App to connect wirelessly from any smart device.

What’s also superb, is that if you want a 7.1 system in the future, you just buy another pair of Ones and use them as side speakers. Or go even further and buy yet another set of Ones and another sub for an unbelievable 9.2 system.

This really is the cream of the reviews in this rundown, but it does come at a far higher price to the rest, so that is to be expected. If you want the best and are willing to pay for it, this is the system for you.

10 Bose Lifestyle SoundTouch 135 Entertainment System

Here comes another system from Bose and our final one in this review, this time it’s the Lifestyle Soundtouch 135, which is the companies best-performing soundbar system.

This is, a just mentioned, a soundbar system, unlike the Acoustimass 10 Series V, and features Bose’s most advanced technologies. It delivers clear, spacious sound across whatever space you put it in. While the wireless Acoustimass module provides deep, impactful bass-end.

It’s a powerful music system, letting you enjoy wireless music by connected to your existing home Wi-Fi network or through Bluetooth. This allows you to stream music services like Spotify and Pandora. As well as, Internet radio stations or just play your own stored music library.

The soundbar has six precisely positioned drivers, And two PhaseGuide sound radiators which project sound into areas which are not covered by the other speakers. They deliver strong dialogue from the center speaker and compelling effects from the ones on the left and right.

The advanced control console is used to ensure that all your components work together seamlessly as a single system, and it does the job well. It’s also simple to set-up, with easy-to-follow on-screen messages.

It comes with the ADAPTiQ audio calibration system. This adjusts the speaker’s performance to allow for the unique acoustics of your room and ensures consistent, quality sound.

It features four HDMI inputs and ensures high-quality multi-channel audio from several source devices. This is a far better way of connecting AV equipment, than by down-mixing the audio signal directly through your TV. Which often results in poor dynamic range and unwanted low-frequency effects.

It’s also capable of multi-room music. Each of Bose’s SoundTouch products is part of a whole family of wireless systems and speakers that work together. This means you can easily play the same music in every room for a big party. Or play different music in different rooms, for a more personal choice.
