Soundbars. They're a core component of the current home cinema scene, whether you like them or not. Many AV aficionados and audiophiles discount them as poor stand-ins for a full home cinema speaker system, but we're very much in favour of their simple, practical and often cost-effective solution for replacing your TV's rubbish built-in speakers.
They come in all shapes and sizes now, too; some are capable of handling immersive Dolby Atmos audio, and others even bundle surround speakers and subwoofers in the box.
