Let’s start with the best.
JBL BAR 1300 – 1170 Watts, 11.1.4 Dolby Atmos soundbar (Review)
It is quite extraordinary to hear Dolby Atmos (DA) movies at their very best. The secret to this is a massive number of speakers, including six rear speakers to immerse you in the Dolby Atmos sound envelope. And it is brilliant for up to 8.1 surround sound and stereo music (upscaled). It comes with wall mount brackets as well.
(The number in brackets corresponds to DA terminology 0.0.0, e.g., Front 0. Sub 0. Up .0)

CyberShack’s view – The JBL Epic Soundbar Sale makes quality soundbars affordable.
We have reviewed the JBL Bar 1300 and were so impressed that our family bought one. Shame it was not on sale at the time. We were impressed with the three HDMI ports (to attach the Blue-Ray, Set-top-box and media centre), its room calibration (brilliant to adapt to different room spaces), and the Bass was room shaking. It has a neutral sound signature (perfect).
We also heard the JBL Bar 800 and 1000 at the launch event, and both performed very well – worthy additions to any TV that supports Dolby Vision.
