Unfortunately, this sound bar is one of the sound systems that can not play without a subwoofer.
Say, the subwoofer is in truth no such, it is a necessity, so that middle and low tones can be reproduced.
Out of sheer anticipation I had initially only taken the Soundbar without a subwoofer in operation - what my joy short hand in wonderment of nature "is broken the part, I have something connected incorrectly or is this really be all there is?" left turning.
Each HTC One covers a wider frequency space from than the Soundbar in solo flight. It seems as if the Soundbar reflect only the frequencies that are needed to produce the surround effect. Well connected with anticipation Taken subwoofer - tada, suddenly the music sounded as such and not to the ant drums on eggshells.
Praise to install is that this system does not directly makes the opponent even with instrumental / vote-heavy pieces. For medium to high volumes, simple systems go in pieces Where Is My Mind by Maxence Cyrin happy times into Schrebbeln over (just look at the next best bit more favorable smartphone via the loudspeaker play, the song can be found on YouTube). This happens much less noticeable in this system.
My taste in music covers, to the chagrin of the system, even electronic music the way Tech House from. Thus the equipment is unfortunately completely overwhelmed. The annoying music, sounds too sharp and there is no bass carpet. Good example: Oliver Schories - Amsterdam. Had I the track never heard about such as my headphones, then I would simply annoying, boring and unimaginative. The track passes through the Yamaha system is not to pick a. This is partly due to the aforementioned lack of bass carpet, on the other hand it creates the system - despite calibration and manual readjustment - not, the spatial effect which otherwise occurs even with stereo headphones produce.
Enough drivel: The system is suitable in my humble opinion not audiophile for (would like) ears. As the main system for music I would also recommend it to anyone. Very well, I see an aptitude for people who have no place for a 5.1 / 7.1 system and want to at least have some surround. Whether the whole thing the 800 is worth, well everyone has to decide for himself. Bear in mind here is that the surround effect already it fails, the "Subwoofer" also reproduces locatable frequencies.
