Short answer: the Yamaha SR-B20A. It ranks #20 of 27 all-in-one soundbars by sound quality, rated 3.2/5, at $219.95. The Amazon Fire TV Soundbar Plus ranks #22, rated 3.0/5, at $189.99, $29.96 cheaper, a saving that is not big enough to make up the sound-quality gap.
Why pick 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 tradeoff: Bass is blunt and one-note, so movie effects lack punch and variation without an added subwoofer.
What the Amazon Fire TV Soundbar Plus does well: The Fire TV Soundbar Plus adds a center channel, which helps dialogue stand out, and it decodes Dolby Atmos and DTS:X from an eARC TV. The tradeoff: On its own the bass is thin, so films lack weight until the optional sub is added.
Buy the Yamaha SR-B20A. It is rated higher for sound quality, and the $29.96 saving on the Amazon Fire TV Soundbar Plus is not enough to make up the difference.
