If you are in the market shopping for a soundbar system, which is typically a good way to go about for a decent home cinema experience if you do not want to deal with separate AVR and speaker options, then depending on what your budget is there are several really good offerings from which you can choose.
Nakamichi has its Dragon variants selling for their lowest ever prices, and those are still live; meanwhile, the company"s Shockwafe variants are also at their lowest ever prices, which you can check out here in this article.
If your budget is under $1000 or just around that, then JBL has you covered with its Bar 700MK2 7.1 and 500MK2 5.1 for the lowest prices. Aside from those, the 1000MK2 7.1.4 system is also at an all time low price at exactly a thousand dollars (purchase link under the specs table down below).
Similar to the 700MK2 and 500MK2, JBL promises that its MultiBeam 3.0 technology delivers a very wide imaging that can feel close to a true 7.1 experience even though you may expect a narrow soundstage from a single front soundbar. Meanwhile, the PureVoice 2.0 tech is said to make dialogue clarity better depending on the soundbar"s volume level as well as the particular scene being played. And finally the SmartDetails feature promises each and every subtle detail in a movie scene so you miss nothing.
