Check out the Marlin at Tonehifi.com! https://tonehifi.com/product/marlin/ Recommended amplifiers: Affordable HDMI option: https://a.co/d/g6xogen Includes remote + EQ: https://a.co/d/hBfcNie Wifi Streaming compatible: https://a.co/d/5yHWj72 Testing parameters Both the (major name brand) sound bar and Marlin were level matched to 82 DB in-room at a distance of 5 feet from the source. The microphone stayed in exactly the same position, while the speakers were swapped out, aligned to a marking point on the table. All audio was recorded through a Zoom H4N, unprocessed with no corrections made. Volume of both tracks was adjusted to match overall video volume. Marlin was powered by a Fosi Audio V3 amplifier. MSRP of the soundbar exceeds that of the Marlin's. Cost is comparable when factoring in the separate amplifier.
