    Soundbar for music playback

    I had to set the blu-ray player to PCM, same with the TV. The apple tv is different, you have to go to Settings - Audio & Video - Dolby Digital - Off. The Dali also detects when something is switched on, so when everything is in standby mode (overnight or whatever) I turn the TV on and the...

    Soundbar for music playback

    Been using the Kubik One for two weeks now and I have to say it's amazing, I haven't properly sat down to listen to my music collection for years but the Kubik One has me glued to the sofa! It is a stereo system with no onboard decoding, which by now I think is a good thing - every penny of my...

    Soundbar for music playback

    I found this write up - http://www.unlockpwd.com/dali-announces-the-soundbar-kubik-one-with-bluetooth-and-usb-asynchronous/ seems to have been written before the Kubik came out but it states that it decodes DD and DTS. Can't seem to find any mention anywhere else though, so it might have...

    Soundbar for music playback

    I took advice and increased my budget! On my shopping list was the Arcam Solo Bar, Monitor Audio and the Dali. Monitor audio was ruled out due to size so down to the Dali and Arcam. Arcam was top of the list due to connectivity so went for a demo, I was really expecting to love it despite the...

    Soundbar for music playback

    Thanks Millenia_one, I hadn't looked into the ASB2 due to price but the specs are exactlly what I'm looking for. Maybe I'll save a little longer and get into the more premium market! I did find a refurbished one for £599 so it leaves me hopeful for the future as I don't quite have the money yet...

    Soundbar for music playback

    I think the point is being missed. I only have the space and funds for one system and after some research I have decided that a soundbar/base is my best option. My tv does kick out 5.1. All my music is ripped into iTunes so streaming from my Mac is a must, bluetooth or wifi. BUT, I also like...

    Soundbar for music playback

    Thank you for the replies! I'm looking into the Playbar, sounds interesting. As far as a pair of bookshelves and an amp is concerned I agree, it would be a better option for music - but although music is the priority it's not the only factor. Space is a problem, a pair of bookshelves would be...

    Soundbar for music playback

    I've recently gotten rid of my 5.1 surround system due to space and now I'm looking into purchasing a soundbar/base. I want a decent sound with movies but the soundbar/base has to be very good with music, this is the priority but it has to be a balance. So far I've been looking at the Q...
