I was on a client visit today in a reseller shop that had this soundbar, I asked him what he recommended for a pairing to my LG Oled. He played a demo at less than half volume and the whole store shaked, I heard sounds coming from above, the sides and everything - I literally got goosebumps. Absolutely amazing experience, and I REALLY WANT ONE now lmao

I have the smaller brother to this one. The multibeam 700 and paired with the smaller sub s and for it's sound output is amazing. So much so I have had to turn the bass down as it actually rumbles the room. Update wise not had many, though a proper app for twerking the settings would have been nice. All in its a top end soundbar and for me and more so my wife she loves the look of in our living room compared to the old lg black one I had. I have it in the light grey colour.

Good to hear, just bought this at the store, was looking at the Sonos one (gen 2 or something, similar size) which had much better clarity, but in a last attempt I tried this one and it had less clarity, but much better deepness, surround and bass. Could only test it with the store music though, so will do a another test back home.

Thanx for your review. I have one question when speaking about 630W. What kind of watts are you talking about? I'm pretty sure it's not RMS watts which is the only real measure used in the pro audio industry... it seems that the 630w advertised here is simply a marketing argument concerning the maximum power possible during a peak of a few milli seconds. This is irrelevant and misleads the consumer....Am I wrong? ;-)
