Harman Kardon Citation MultiBeam 1100 Black

Normally I am not someone who will quickly write a review, but since I did not immediately find an answer to my own questions during my own search, I would like to make the effort to provide some clarity for potential buyers. I had a super solid TV sound set for 15 years. For the connoisseurs .. a complete Bowers and Wilkins 600 series loudspeaker set with large center and 2 large front columns controlled by a heavy Marantz receiver. In the search for a simpler sound system for my TV with fewer cables, etc., I wanted a soundbar with a warm sound and sufficient volume. My eye initially fell on the B&O soundstage, but the price held me back a bit and since the harman kardon citation multibeam 1100 received very good reviews, I took the gamble and I have to say that I don't regret my purchase for a second. The only downside is that the voices may seem a bit smaller (compared to the Bowers set), but this is doubly compensated by the fine sound experience that you can expect from the soundbar. I can say little bad and in the meantime I have even bought the small sub S from harman kardon and this combination is perfect for us. The beautiful design of the gray version is perfect for our interior and is a relief between all the black plastic soundbar.

I have the previous version in the attic. Almost identical products in terms of dimensions and look. But the new version clearly contains many more tweeters. Also contains Dolby Atmos, the previous version does not have either. And there is another speaker at the ends. Phenomenal. Because the bass of the previous version of the soundbar was not sufficient without a subwoofer, I also thought about the Sub S with this new one. One tip: wait and see first. In my case, an extra subwoofer is completely unnecessary. You can already feel the bass well. What a sound.Test done with a scene where helicopters were flying around. Simply wonderful. It is highly recommended. With its 115 cm length it is a sturdy soundbar, but just under a 55" it fits perfectly.
