From £5,590 bang-olufsen.com
Rely on Bang & Olufsen to take a good idea and run with it. The concept of a premium Dolby Atmos soundbar is not a new one - but the idea of one that costs as much as installing an actual, physical 7.1.4-channel audio system has not been countenanced. Until the Beosound Theatre.
Designed to accompany 55-inch, 65-inch or 77-inch TVs, the Theatre comes with a selection of aluminium 'wings' that form its ends - simply swap the wings and the soundbar magically grows in order to match your television's width.
And when you consider the Theatre is 197 x 1222 x 157mm (HxWxD) when in '55-inch' guise, it becomes apparent this is a large device even when it's at its smallest.
