Ambeo plus or max and you can use any sub you want. Had mine with an SVS and the sound was fantastic.
I owned the plus not the max. But the plus was great so max should be awesome.
Well, there's not much space between the cabinet and the televisionset. So, not much choose. Could you place it on the wall, just so you have a little more space, then i can recommend the Sennheiser Ambeo Max. Wonderful sound.
Sennheiser ambeo max. I have had mine for 5 years and I absolutely love it. Paired with an svs subwoofer. I think it sounds amazing.
Buy a used ambeo max pro from Amazon for 1500. That’s what I did 3 years ago and it’s been great
Yeah, but what can you expect for 1000 euros/dollar? It IS a soundbar...playing music is not it's purpose. I have a 990d, a jbl1300 and even my ambeo max of 2500€ doesn't play music well.
Thanks, saw the thread. I actually listened to the Q990D at a friend’s house and was not too impressed. Loved the demo of both arc ultra and ambeo max.
Honestly the best even without the option to add rear speakers as of now are probably the new KEF XIO and Sennheiser ambeo max paired with a big active subwoofer, in terms of pure sound quality you wont get better than that
Go with the ambeo Max
That thing doesn’t need rears, it so powerful that the sound evolves around you
