Buying call

Buy the Beam Ultra if you want real Atmos height effects from a compact soundbar: reviewers praised its room-filling sound for movies and music, true up-firing drivers, tight, refined bass without a subwoofer, clear dialogue with speech enhancement, a low-profile design and easy integration with other Sonos speakers. Skip it if you need HDMI passthrough or DTS:X, because it supports neither. It's expensive, and Atmos works best with flat ceilings.
