RAISING THE BAR: Sharp HT-SBW800

This Dolby Atmos soundbar brings big audio from a clever box at a surprisingly cheap price

- 

Best known these days for its range of big-screen TVs, Sharp has also released a number of excellent soundbars, with the HT-SBW800 adding immersive Dolby Atmos to the line-up.

The soundbar boasts no less than seven speakers: three facing forwards, two firing upwards, and two at the sides, while a wireless subwoofer handles the bass. The resulting system is designed to produce an expansive wall of sound to perfectly complement the big-screen TVs that Sharp has long been pioneering.
