Bang & Olufsen Beosound Theatre Soundbar

A soundbar is a necessary evil for most modern TV sets. Instead of it being an afterthought, Bang & Olufsen has turned it into a crucial component with the Beosound Theatre. When paired with the correct accessory, it serves as a motorized TV stand, with hidden storage for an Apple TV or other streaming box and aluminum wings that can be extended should the owner buy a larger screen. Audio quality is predictably excellent, with 800 watts of power and a patent-pending mix of direct, side-, and up-firing drivers — 12 in total, including two custom 6.5-inch woofers — delivering Dolby Atmos sound, with the option to add up to 16 additional external speakers. If all that sounds a little complicated, it can also be mounted on the wall, with the Danish design offering a welcome respite from boring black boxes.
