| Bottom line | Canton's unique three-channel CD 90 SB sound bar combines good looks with above-average sound quality for music and movies. | Buying the KEF HTF8003 is an expensive proposition once you add the cost for an AV receiver and subwoofer, but it has some of the best sonics we've heard from a sound bar. | The Harman Kardon SB 16 features a premium price tag and some remote control quirks, but its excellent sound quality and exterior design make it worth the extra cash. | The Sonos Playbar is cleverly designed and does great fake surround, but it's better suited to current Sonos customers than newcomers. | The Definitive Technology Mythos SSA-50 raises the bar for soundbar speakers' design and sound quality. |
