Soundbar suggestions

Hi Folks,
 I'm considering getting a  getting a soundbar.  Requirements are wireless, sub-woofer, able to connect my phone/Alexa for Spotify or podcasts and to note that the unit is in a room with a vaulted ceiling.

What units would you recommend.  Not in any major rush and would consider open box or display options.

Thanks,
Bifl

Hi Bifl.

Thanks for the post.

I would not have any open box soundbars that would fit the specs your require.

I do have one last Yamaha YAS306 which has pretty much everything other than Alexa.
I could clear our display one for £199 delivered

If you wanted a bar with Alexa there are the Sonos Beams priced at £378

Polk have their command bar priced at £249

Hi ,
Sorry I wasn't clear in my original post. I don't need on board Alexa or Google equivalent on the unit but just that a seperate Alexa or Google Home Hub would connect to the speaker. 

Again sub woofer  and wireless are required and would consider display or open box. 

Thanks for your advice and help

Hi Bifi,

apologies for the delay getting back to you - there are quite a number of connected soundbars now - here are a few that you can have a browse around:

The most popular is the SONOS BEAM - this features Alexa but the Sub is an extra ( quite an expensive extra!) - its currently £399 / €439:

Probably the best complete package is the Polk Command bar - this has complete Alexa on board AND includes a hefty sub for a really competitive £249 / €299 - it's becoming increasingly popular and quite rightly so!:

Just slightly more expensive you have the LG SJ8 which features Chromecast ( not quite the same thing I acknowledge) but again also has a Sub and is keenly priced at £299 / €359:

Finally also have a look at the big bro' of the SJ8 - the LG SK10Y which is a great sounding piece of kit at £719 / €849 and has Google assistant on board:

Thats not a complete listing but as ever drop us a line if there are any other units that you are interested in,
