I am a hi-fi, hi-end audio & video enthusiast. I am also musician and have worked for decades with entertainment. I just moved to a new house and installed a 86” LG Nano TV. I now need some good quality audio to go with it. After all, this is my area of great enjoyment. Let’s be fair: I could not convince my wife to have a set big of tower speakers, center, subwoofers and surrounds in the bedroom. However I also felt I (we) did deserve good audio quality at the bedroom. So the challenge was to go “minimalist” and to sacrifice the least. I researched, reviewed and listened to several of the sound-bars available on the market. Unfortunately the places you can listen to the demo units are far from ideal. You will have to use your “imagination” to judge the quality of the audio as often there is very loud noise on these showrooms. So unless you go to a hi-end store to buy one of these sound-bars, where you can listen to them in a quiet environment you will have to make a choice based on your better judgment of what they “could” sound like at home. I checked-out and listened to a wide range sound-bars on the market and came to the conclusion that they are not bad at all. In fact they are surprisingly good. After a lot of listening and researching I decided to go with the one “brand” approach and focused on the “plus and cons” of the LG’s bars compared to the other brands on the market. I opted for the model SL9YG.Now that the sound-bar is installed and paired with my Nano TV I realize the choice was a wise one. The space if occupies is “minimal” but the sound is “big”. There are some options for surround sound and in general, depending on the content you are reproducing, they do deliver a good dose of surround experience and you end up listening to sounds coming from the walls and around you. It also works with my phone so I can listen to some music while getting ready for the day and it sounds quite good. I am positively very well surprised how these little boxes can sound so rich and full. It is not hi-end audio, but it is a very pleasant sound experience at a reasonable price range. It is a small unit with a big spacious sound and setting up the sound-bar was a straightforward process, provided you follow the instructions to download the Google Home app first. After you download the app, the set-up is fast and easy.
