| Bottom line | The Sonos Sub provides an instant upgrade to your Sonos Play speaker system, but it's quite pricey. | The Sonos Playbar is cleverly designed and does great fake surround, but it's better suited to current Sonos customers than newcomers. | 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 Monoprice 9774 speaker system is the best home audio value we've ever seen: gorgeous, incredible-sounding home theater speakers for just under $250. | The SpeakerCraft CS3 is a handsome, excellent-sounding sound bar that's well worth its lofty price. |
