Immersive sound from a seriously thin soundbar

Great soundbars. They can make or break your home theater experience and, depending on your tastes, can definitely put a hurtin’ on your bottom line. But nowadays, you don’t necessarily have to start selling organs on the black market to get quality sound. Today’s soundbars are packing quite a bit of power into unassuming black boxes.
Case in point, the Yamaha True X Bar 40A soundbar. The midrange soundbar has dual subwoofers baked in, and a pair of front-firing drivers and two up-firing drivers. The result is a slim bar that pumps out surround sound further enhanced by Dolby Atmos software. Plus, you get a feature-rich remote control and companion app designed to help produce the optimal listening experience whether you’re binging your favorite TV series, gaming, or just listening to some tunes.
While the highs and mids are great, the lows can be a hit-or-miss. However, Yamaha has a solution, but it’ll cost you. Still, for entry or mid-level A/V enthusiasts, the Yamaha True X Bar 40A is worth a look.
Yamaha True X Bar 40A 8 / 10 $400 $500 Save $100 The Yamaha True X Bar 40A brings big immersive sound via a host of drivers and subwoofers all packed neatly into a relatively thin design. The Dolby Atmos soundbar also has Amazon Alexa Functionality, several audio modes, and the ability to stream from AirPlay 2, Spotify, and Tidal via the free companion app. The Yamaha performs well when you’re watching TV, playing video games, or listening to music. However, the low end could be deeper. Pros Big immersive audio performances
