The Sonos Ray has a brand new rival. It's the new Denon DHT-S218, which has the same price tag as the Sonos soundbar but offers some things that the Ray doesn't – namely HDMI ARC and Dolby Atmos.
Designed specifically for smaller rooms, the DHT-S218 can also be wall mounted but its main purpose – like the best soundbars – is to deliver a significant sonic upgrade without also demanding lots of space. And with a price tag of just £249 (roughly $314 and AU$481), it's clearly priced very keenly. For comparison, the Sonos Ray had a launch price of $279 / £279 / AU$399.
