To have researched and tested several sound bars ... I can tell you that this SONOS bar is far ahead of its competitors. Very disappointed in YAMAHA BOSE stereo or solutions. In Cinema mode, it's not bad but HIFI is not that at all. The playbar is very easy to install (like all products SONOS) and the result is stunning. But how do they provide such a dynamic sound in a small bar? The smartphone or mac interface is perfect. DEEZER The connection is very simple and to a NAS too.
We can still blame the lack of HDMI for a bar in 2014.
I am already planning to buy a PLAY3 sound to my office :)
