Ambeo Soundbar | Mini

Grab a Sennheiser Ambeo mini than the much inferior Sonos Beam gen 2. It supports all the codecs and even sounds decent for music

I've had mine since June and I think it's great for my small/medium living room.

The mini is good value for money if you can get it on a sale

Maby a refurbished senheiser ambeo mini

Yes i have one at home. Its definitely worth the money. The sound is clear and very full, you can even save custom eq settings for different types of media. Thus far no regrets.

Cannot recommend this enough. I have an Ambeo Mini and it blows Sonos beam outta the water

Interested in this too, I've also been looking at the Bose Smart soundbar but leaning more towards the Sennheiser Ambeo mini, currently £329

I'll assume you're talking about the Beam 2 as similarly priced I have a small lounge and thin walls so don't want a sub, and don't really have the space for rear speakers, so don't need to buy into the whole Sonos speakers everywhere thing. Plus if I did that it would be cheaper to buy a proper receiver and speaker package From reviews the Ambeo has better sound than the Beam. I also don't have any Apple products so can't set up the trueplay on a Sonos which it needs to get the best out of it. But the main thing is the Beam doesn't have Bluetooth, which would be used from other devices, music from phone etc

I'm really perplexed by your assertions ... You say this about the Sennheiser Ambeo Mini: But all it does is throw sound better and has actual bass. "throw sound better" - I don't even know what that means. I have the Ambeo Plus but I've listened to the Mini and it's no schmuck. There's no technical reasons why the Mini wouldn't smash past ANY TV speakers. Could it be you're not configuring your soundbar right? Could it be something is blocking the soundbar? (you mention as if there is a hand in front of the speakers)

Yep! Sennheiser Ambeo mini, and pair it with their sub.

Rank on your shortlist: 1. The Klipsch - though I'm not sure how/where you'll get a 300 for $600. Maybe used on eBay? The Flexus Core 200 would also be a solid choice at #1 2. The Polk Magnifi. Pretty good all round system 3. The Bose I'd recommend one more which I actually would put at #1: the Sennheiser Ambeo mini.

The Sennheiser Ambeo mini is a considerably better option.

You would have to check the soundbar specs before purchasing. You should do so no matter what to ensure compatibility with your equipment. I'm guessing you haven't purchased a soundbar yet. My Ambeo mini doesn't have one but my Sonos Beam does.
