    Hi could you recommend a soundbar for less than £500? (I'm up north)

    Looking at the Sonos Beam as it gets good reviews. It's for my front living room which is on the small side 4 X 4 m.

    Thanks

    Hey Chopper83.

    Thanks for the post and sorry for the delay in getting a replay to you.

    The Sonos Beam is a fantastic product and comes with plenty of features. Currently priced at £389.
    It stock and ready to ship. Delivery is free within Northern Ireland.

    If you wanted to go for a more coventional soundbar maybe something like the Yamaha Musiccast Bar 400 priced at £449.
    Uses Yamaha's Musiccast features which are a little like Sonos. Although it might be too large for your room.

    Or right on budget is the LG SL8YG priced at £499. This does 3.1.2 for Dolby Atmos but losses out on the streaming side of things like the Yamaha or Sanus. I also maybe too large though.

    Let me know your thoughts.

    Kenny.

    Thanks Kenny much appreciated, new to this all!

    Great to know there is free delivery.

    My wife has just bought a Bose Soundlink speaker just wondering should that influence our decision in terms of keeping to the same brand for multi room? And if so do you sell the Bose 500?

    Thanks again

    Hi Chopper83,

    We don't stock any Bose equipment unfortunately!

    Most multi room systems will only work within their own brand so if you were to add Sonos speaker or a Yamaha Musiccast speaker you would not be able to link it with the Bose Soundlink.

    Let me know what you think!

    Kind regards

    David
