Sonos Playbar vs Denon HEOS BAR

Sonos Playbar review

Its output power is 200W. There are 3.0 built-in channels. Sonos Playbar is a carefully designed soundbar with best-in-class music software. The panel is easy to install and easily compatible with other Sonos products, and can also be used as part of a full-fledged 5.1 wireless audio system if you add a Sonos Sub subwoofer and two Play:3 speakers. But the Playbar itself creates an excellent virtual surround effect - you can imagine that the room has more speakers than it actually is.
