Devialet - Dione

devialet dione, alot better than Sonos/Bose/Sony and so on

Best quality in clarity is devialet but not sure if there is a sub woofer to buy. Samsung is ok but one sub or woofer goes bad you have to buy the whole thing again (based on experience with one) sonos is pretty good and you can always replace the speakers for rears and subs or soundbar plus can add more to the home for a full absence sound in the home and possibly outside backyard anf host bbq or family parties. So something you can build and add to an ecosystem definitely sonos and is really good quality. (I have a sonos arc, sub 3, ones, and sub mini with beam) best quality in sound for a soundbar is devialet. Other brands are ok but Samsung is a closed system bose is kinda complicated and wants to be like sonos

Definitely haven't seen any other soundbars that use a crossover of 150hz or higher. The majority are set between 60-100hz. Sonos arc on its own plays down to 55hz, the ultra goes down to 45hz. Ambeo plus will do 55hz, Ambeo max 30hz. Bravia 8/9 55hz, Bravia quads 50hz. Bose bars will do 50hz, Hisense bars 50hz etc. The lowest one of the lot is the Devialet Dione which does 24hz and one of the bars you could potentially get away without a subwoofer, although a separate one will always be miles better. Ideally you wouldn't want to go above 120hz on a subwoofer as it starts to become too localised when you go above it. Obviously running dual subs or more will help correct this which 150hz then wouldn't be a problem. Anything much higher though are you are going to end up getting sounds coming out of the subs which ideally should be coming out of the soundbar/speakers instead. Placement is also key and can make all the difference, so get on those knees and do the sub crawl if you don't have any room correction software / software built directly into the subs themselves 😅

Yep I got the Ambeo plus with the Sub - had tested Sonos, JBL, Bose, Samsung, LG, Sony (yep even Sony) and also surprisingly the Devialet Dione Sound Bar.

It was parked at the sound place - it just did not ring right on my ears, so I can just say it was nice. It wasn’t bad but just not a sound signature that felt right after Ambeo. Sennheiser Ambeo > Sonos (best for wireless and easy setup) > Samsung > JBL > Sony / Bose Devialet it below ambeo.. let’s leave it there

Sound bars will never be true surround, but can do a damn good job. We have used the Devialet Dione, B&O Stage, but both are a few years old I have a Beosound theatre l, which is arguably the best on the market, but bought it before prices went stupidly high

I tested a Sennheiser Ambeo Plus then a Devialet Dione. I sent them back. Finally, I chose an Arc Ultra with two Era 100 as surround speakers. Really impressive ! It works perfectly with my LG G4.
