Klang isn't just an excellent word and sound effect. It's the name Loewe uses for its high-end soundbars and speakers, and the latest model has just been announced. Designed for TVs 43 inches and larger, the £999 Loewe klang bar3 mr soundbar – the lower case product name is deliberate – aims to be one of the best soundbars for any system, delivering 3.1 channels of immersive audio in a single box and enabling you to add wireless or wired speakers for a 5.1 surround setup.
If you're not a Kraftwerk fan you might not know that "Klang" is German for "sound" – and if you are a Kraftwerk fan, you might suspect the name is also a homage to the electronic pioneers' Kling Klang studio. And for me, it's meant a whole morning of Wu-Tang Klang jokes. But name-related tomfoolery aside, this is a serious soundbar for serious music fans.
