Soundbar recommendation- €300-€400 with option to add rear wireless speakers later?

dinneenp

Hi,
Looking to get a soundbar with wireless subwoofer & maybe add on wireless rear speakers down the line.

If you have a great recommendation that doesn't have the wireless surround speakers option I'd still consider it. If the rear speakers have to be bought at same time as the rest I'd consider waiting & speaking more than the 400. 


In another thread you recommended the Yamaha YAS207 Does it support wireless rear speakers & would you recommend anything else over it? 

The POLK MAX SR is slightly too expensive atm but would the sound experience be much better than the Yamaha (if not using the rear speakers- just to get a like-for-like comparison)? 

Thanks,
Pa.

Hi Dinneenp.

Thanks for the post.

The YAS207 is a great soundbar and 5 star reviewed in What HiFI. It is one of our best selling soundbars based on it performance.
It can not connect to rear speaker though unfortunately.

We only have a refurbished one left in stock at the moment priced at £279

Starting point for one that will allow for rear speakers would be the Yamaha Bar 40 priced at £329

This allows for the MusicCat 20's to be used as rear speakers.
Musiccast 20 are priced at £169 Each

Sony have the HTZF9 priced at the higher side of things at £549

It allows for the SAZR to be added as rears - Priced at £299

Regarding the Polk MAX SR, I've not heard this in action myself unfortunately but I would say it would perform well based on some of the other Polk sounds

Let me know your thoughts.
