#14 JBL Bar 5.0 MultiBeam: $399.95 eBay
Pros: A compact 5.0 channel JBL soundbar with virtual Dolby Atmos, eARC, Wi-Fi, Chromecast, AirPlay 2 and Alexa multiroom. It is only 709mm wide and 58mm tall, so it fits under most TVs, and five 50W channels with four passive radiators give it a wide, room filling sound. MultiBeam uses a microphone to tune the output to the room, and it decodes Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby Atmos and DTS.
Cons: No independent measurements yet, so the rating is estimated from a single detailed hands-on review and head-to-head comparisons. There is no subwoofer output and it cannot be expanded later. Optical input does not carry Dolby Digital Plus or Atmos, and many settings need multi-press remote sequences that are easy to forget. The downward firing radiators can sound wooly on a hard surface, and smart mode can muddy plain speech.
