Both designs have their strengths, and neither is fundamentally better. This guide compares them directly, point by point, and shows you in the end when which is the more sensible choice. Plus a third way that many people don't even...

Buying a soundbar is easier than ever today – and at the same time more confusing. The range extends from the compact bar for under 200 euros to the modular system with a subwoofer, rear speakers, and height channels. In...
