I've just changed my system from a Denon 3400 amp and 25 year old Bose acoustimass 15 5.1 system to a Bose smart ultra soundbar. I've had it a couple of weeks now and am getting used to it. I'm going to give it a couple more weeks to get used to the change in sound, but it does seem a little lightyweight in the bottom end. Does anybody have one and have they added the 700 (or 500) subs to their systems and would they recommend

You can connect two of them if you really want. The only way to find out is to try it for yourself. Hi-fi is just like haircuts; what's great for one person could be totally unsuitable for someone else. Similarly, most people on here will tell you what is best for them, not what is best for you. Try to find a retailler who will allow you a home trial would be perfect. If you buy direct from Bose, you have 90 days to return the items if you don't like them.

I know you've been with Bose for a long time. Does it have to be Bose, because you can get much better soundbars for the price?
I would have gone with the Sonos arc ultra, but didnt realise that my old acoustimass bass unit was subject to a recall or 40% off a new soundbar. The bars were also on offer last week, so managed to get one for £360. Hence my purchase. Bit of a no brainer. Not as good as the Sonos, but cheap as chips

it's going to go in a corner, hidden, so may plump for an ebay version. Might just wait until black friday and see what happens with the prices
