What does this mean?Pros & Cons
Pros
This is a significant investment, costing more than a good deal of tvs, consoles or streaming boxes that you'll be using it with. At a current rrp of 500 quid this is a really nice purchase if you're after a neat soundbar for your smart tv.
The a3000 lacks dedicated tweeters but despite that i found dialog very clear and intelligible. Even though there is no external subwoofer, the basses are really clean. This soundbar can be paired with a set of two rear speakers to give you an even be... Read More

For your investment though it presents well and is about as featurerich as youd expect

My opinion may be biased as im using this in place of quite an old barsub system with absolutely zero features beyond sound output

Also some of the features on offer i really cant speak to as in order to take advantage of the surround sound capabilities and their 360 reality audio you should employ the similarly priced suite of accompanying sub and surround channel speakers

This could be more a fault of the connected devices than the speaker itself but it seems to inconsistently respond to the linked tv being turned off and its 5050 whether the speaker will immediately power down or youll need to do it manually unless youre happy to leave it until auto shutoff kicks in
