1. Samsung HW-Q990F (£TBC)
Samsung rocked the soundbar world with last year's HW-Q990D, as it snatched the Product of the Year title from Sony and Sonos thanks to its sensational sound performance. Recognising that it struck gold with the Q990D, Samsung has opted to focus on one key area of the Dolby Atmos surround-sound package - the subwoofer. Smaller and more powerful than last year's model, it features dual 8in woofers in a modest 25cm cube chassis which, Samsung promises, will provide "robust bass and ultra-lowfrequency precision". Furthermore, this is the first soundbar from Samsung to support its new Eclipsa Audio format which is set to tackle Dolby Atmos head-on. .whf.cm/SamsungAtmos.
