LG SK5R 4.1 soundbar with wireless sub and rear speakers

Picked this up in Harvey Norman for €250 it's €300 in DID and 279gbp on Amazon. Very impressed with it so far, maybe 5 times as loud as my old Samsung soundbar/sub and imersive, bass rattles the walls on parts when up full.

I'll add, obviously the selling point for this is being wireless, i.e the sub and rear speakers. So suits my needs perfectly as all cables hidden and price.


Not a lot about it online

Can I ask you how good are the rear speakers when it comes to surround sound when watching movies and anything that's generally a 5.1 movie. I've heard mixed results with certain wireless rear speakers and would be interested in how your getting on before I would consider purchasing. Thanks.

I've watched films the last 3 nights and have been super impressed. Watched Commando last night which has a lot a lot of helicopters and stuff in it and it sounded great, imersive.

I mean it's not gonna be on par with an expensive 5.1 full AV wired system, but after been looking what wireless devices are out there and the huge prices they're going for I'm very happy I went with this.

How many power sources are required? Does the subwoofer and rear speakers need to be plugged in?

thanks

That sounds pretty promising. I currently have a single sound bar but have been in the market for a system with wireless rear speakers as I can't run loads of wires around my room. I might head to Harvey Norman to see it in action. Thanks for the feedback.

3 one for each device. I have soundbar plugged in behind my TV which is wallmounted, subwoofer behind my wallmounted cabinet, then the 'AV' for the wireless rear speakers behind the sofa so everything is hidden nicely, they all automatically pair once plugged in.
