Short answer: the Samsung HW-S60D. It ranks #18 of 27 all-in-one soundbars by sound quality, rated 3.3/5, at $277.99. The Yamaha SR-B20A ranks #20, rated 3.2/5, at $219.95, $58.04 cheaper, not enough of a saving to outweigh the sound-quality gap.
Why pick the Samsung HW-S60D: This compact 5.0 bar has a balanced tuning that is a clear upgrade over TV speakers, with a convenient app, Wi-Fi streaming with AirPlay 2 and Chromecast, and HDMI eARC. It streams over Wi-Fi as well as Bluetooth, which the Yamaha SR-B20A cannot. The tradeoff: Bass rolls off early, so explosions and deep notes lack weight without a subwoofer.
The case for the Yamaha SR-B20A: This slim bar fills the room with a clear, well balanced sound that is a big step up from TV speakers. The catch: Bass is blunt and one-note, so movie effects lack punch and variation without an added subwoofer.
Buy the Samsung HW-S60D. It is rated higher for sound quality, and the $58.04 saving on the Yamaha SR-B20A is not enough to make up the difference.
