2. Klipsch Cinema 600 Home Theater System

The Klipsch Cinema 600’s 10″ subwoofer delivers floor-shattering downward firing bass…

The Klipsch Cinema 600 is a beast on its own. Do not underestimate the fact that this comes as a soundbar and subwoofer combo – it delivers crisp dialogue, expansive sound field and thundering bass.

We have tested a range of other home cinema soundbars with virtual-atmos with 6 or 7 inch subwoofers promising deep bass. Forget about them – the Klipsch Cinema 600 delivers some of the clearest center channel treble and bass from dialogue, and this is obvious and clear without having to turn on the “dialogue” mode.

The sound effects of the Klipsch Cinema 600 feels surreal. It feels like you are listening to a full blown home cinema system (even though it is just the soundbar and subwoofer). The 10 inch subwoofer comes in a large wooden cabinet which does make you literally feel the bass. It also has a separate subwoofer-out RCA jack if you want to add a second powered subwoofer to the system.

The cone on the subwoofer is down-firing, and the cabinet feels very much like a full Klipsch surround system. It has an extreme loud output of 600 watts peak power, and supports HDMI-ARC single cable with a single remote control.

Although the Klipsch Cinema 600 supports 5.1 decoding for virtualized surround sound, it does not decode DTS or Atmos. But don’t let this deter you, the Klipsch Cinema 600 delivers some of the purest sound and deepest bass we’ve ever heard, and is second to none except to the Bose Lifestyle 600 when it comes to pure bass authority.

3. JBL Bar 9.1 Soundbar System

Massive bass from the JBL 300W 10″ subwoofer and 9.1 bar…

The JBL Bar 9.1 is an upgrade from the JBL 5.1 home theater system and delivers deeper, louder bass with more power. It has a combined massive output of 820 watts of power and comes with a built-in Dolby Atmos and DTS:X decoding.

The JBL Bar 9.1 is accompanied by a 300W 10” powered subwoofer which delivers some of the deepest and most powerful bass you’ll ever hear in a home theater setting. Movies and cinematic effects sound unreal – they are literally off the charts with incredibly deep bass, powerful effects and superb audio.

What makes this home theater system so unique is the 9.1 setting which allows you to set the rear speakers (surround sound) as low, medium or high levels on the sound. The bass from the subwoofer is incredibly deep and you can also control that with the remote.

Once you calibrate the JBL 9.1 system it will automatically set the PCM audio to its best settings with high quality audio.

The JBL 9.1 has virtually everything you need for a full audio experience. It has Bluetooth, HDMI in, Chromecast, DTS-X and fully wireless up-firing rears for reflective surround sound. The JBL Bar itself comes with two detachable battery powered surround speakers for surround sound.

4. Nakamichi Shockwafe Pro

A full 7.1.4 channel home theater system with Dolby Atmos and dedicated subs…

The Nakamichi Shockwafe Pro not only delivers some of the deepest bass, but is a full 7.1.4 audio channel home theater system with wide spatial sound effects.

The bass on the Shockwafe Pro is magnificently loud and deep. You can literally feel the thump on the floor and the bass permeates the entire room with crystal clear 3D sound effects. It provides 360 degree Dolby Atmos surround sound and duplicates the same experience that you’d get in a cinema.

The main soundbar unit features upgraded sound performance with a 35% wider soundstage than its predecessor. It also has an 8” down-firing wireless subwoofer which delivers tight, room-shaking bass and distributed equally in all directions.

Movies and cinematic effects can be felt with these speakers. The speakers have a strong level of presence and power in the low-end, delivering tight and deep bass that can be felt through the skin. Movie effects are rendered with great spatial imaging.

These speakers can receive Dolby Atmos sound via the TV’s eARC when streaming with TV’s smart apps like Netflix. It also supports Dolby Vision, 4K UHD pass-through and high-dynamic range (HDR).

Overall, the Nakamichi Shockwafe Pro can be quite overkill for a 7.1.4 home theater system, but its superb bass and spacious sound effects make it a worthwhile investment.

A fully wireless home theater system with deep bass and mid-bass impact…

It is essentially a plug and play system, and connects easily to your TV’s ARC or optical connection.

The sound on the CineHome II is pretty amazing, considering that everything is wireless. The dialogues are crisp and clear, and movie sound effects are well partitioned and spaced out with good soundstage. The subwoofer system has tremendous bass that feels deep and punchy but never bloated – the system delivers some of the lowest bass we’ve heard with great mid-bass impact.

Apart from the bass, the CineHome II is powered by 11 Class-D 24-bit amplifiers that deliver clean, sharp and detailed sound performance with Dolby Audio and DTS support. It also supports 3.5mm analog or Bluetooth input in case you want to play some music through the system from your smartphone.

The entire system comes with a powerful 7-driver soundbar with drivers and tweeters that produce exceptionally clear and loud sound performance. There’s also a wireless subwoofer and two wireless speakers which are instantly recognized by the sound bar the moment you power them on.

The bass on this thing is monstrous and powerful. The subwoofer supports an 8” downward firing driver and the bass that the subwoofer produces is deep – it has plenty of depth and more nuance than anything else we’ve heard before.

The wireless surround sound is pretty awesome, with detailed stereo image and expansive surround soundstage – like what you’d expect in a concert or home theater.

The plug and play wireless subwoofer and wireless speakers are really the highlight of this home theater system. They instantly pair with the sound bar once you power them on, and you can experience home theater without needing to run any wires through the living room.

Overall, the Polk Audio MagniFi Max is an incredibly powerful plug and play home theater system that delivers a tonne of deep bass, crystal clear dialogue and vocals and spacious 3D sound effects.

A solid 5.1 home theater system that delivers solid sound performance all-round…

The Platin Milan 5.1 home theater system is a pretty solid option for those looking for uncompressed 24-bit 48 kHz dynamic audio quality and deep bass performance. The entire system is designed to save space and blend in with home audio décor for an immersive 360 degree home theater experience.

The sound performance of the Platin Milan system is excellent. The sound performance of the speakers is absolutely mind-blowing – it feels rich, detailed dynamic and spacious. You can also calibrate your sound around a designated sweet spot in the room using the My Zone feature.

The bass on the Platin Milan system is absolutely phenomenal. It hits very hard and delivers tight and punchy bass with very good mid-bass. This means that movies and sound effects sound not just deep – but with plenty of depth. They aren’t as powerful as the Bose Lifestyle 600, but they are still pretty solid for their price point and ease of setup.

We tested everything from the old 5.1 tracks to Dolby Atmos and they all sound great – the dialogue is always clear and the sound feels cinematic.

Overall, the ease of setup and no latency wireless technology makes the Platin Milan 5.1 an attractive option for those who want a “home theater in-a-box” solution.

8. VIZIO Elevate Sound Bar Home Theater System

A really good soundbar with subwoofer combo that supports Dolby Atmos and DTS:X

What we liked about the VIZIO Elevate sound bar home theater system is that it simplifies the whole home theater setup with a very cleanly designed central soundbar and wireless subwoofer. Furthermore, it also supports Dolby Atmos and DTS:X with cinematic surround sound for a full 5.1.4 surround sound experience.

Let’s talk about the sound performance. Apart from the deep, strong bass that the subwoofer pumps out, the dialogue is crystal clear and crisp. The mid-range sounds clean although the treble can feel rather flat at times.

With that said, the immersive performance of the soundbar with Dolby Atmos is fantastic. The outer sections of the soundbar rotate up and the coverage is very wide and spacious. The up-firing speakers reflects the enveloping sound overhead off the ceiling and creates and enveloping listening experience like what you’d get in a movie theater.

The subwoofer is incredibly powerful and we found ourselves having to adjust it down to a “safer” level while watching movies and TV.

Overall, this is a pretty solid home theater system that delivers crisp sound and great bass. While the treble ranges can sound flat at times, the enveloping sound from the soundbar and up-firing speakers make this sound system one of the few that can deliver true cinematic home theater sound.

9. Fluance Elite HD Surround Sound Home Theater

Built for audiohile listening, the Fluance Elite HD speakers deliver nice and clean sound but without Dolby Atmos…

The Fluance Elite HD is a home theater system designed for audiophiles who want to listen to quality sound performance. The Elite system is used in Dolby surround and DTS systems to provide a cinematic listening experience. This 7.1 speaker system is also exactly timbre matched with a powerful 10” subwoofer that will deliver some of the most detailed sound with subtle nuances and crisp highs.

The 3-way floor standing towers are built with high-frequency tweeters for dynamic midrange and the dedicated subwoofer features a precision crafted enclosure to supress distortion and provide an accurate sound response.

Arguably the most compact 5.1 channel home theater system, the ProCinema 5.1 system doesn’t disappoint…

The Definitive Technology ProCinema is a 5.1 home theater system with a 250 watt powered subwoofer. This home theater system sounds pretty amazing with intensely crisp dialogue, smooth highs and very powerful bass.

The bass is very strong considering the compact size of the subwoofer, and combined with this home theater setup delivers a superb listening experience.

The bass from the center channel speaker is also surprisingly good. It’s equipped with a 1” tweeter, 3.25” mid-woofer and two 3.25” bass radiators for deeper sound reproduction. Movie sound effects are reproduced with great clarity and crispness, and movie dialogues are crystal clear from the center channel speaker.
