1 Sennheiser Ambeo Soundbar
£2199/ stuff.tv/AmbeoSoundbar
Utterly convincing Dolby Atmos and DTS:X 3D sound, ample power and lots of inputs mean no other soundbar currently available can perform feats with the solidity and confidence of this Sennheiser. The sheer room-filling scale of this device’s sound is remarkable, and it’s hard to think of any content that wouldn’t benefit from being Ambeo’d. That’s why, as well as being the biggest and the most expensive, it’s the best you can buy.

B&O Beosound Stage
from £1250/ stuff.tv/BeosoundStage
B&O’s Stage has the performance to back up its premium price. The scale and weight of its sound are at odds with its looks, and this soundbar is just as capable with music as it is with a Dolby Atmos soundtrack.
