    Best "soundbar" out there IMHO. With a decent subwoofer, the Panorama sounds very good. If you have circumstances that require you to use a soundbar as opposed to separate speakers and an AV receiver, then I would say it is worth the $$$.

      Panorama

      I've owned the panorama since it's release in 2009. In the right room, with 4 walls, it's an amazing sound bar. Best I've heard thus far. The build quality is bar none. Dedicated amplification to midrange drivers is a plus for dialogue in films. As suggested above, in the appropriate application where a sound bar is desired... You can do no wrong. I bring the 4 walls issue... Because of the reflection points the walls serve to allow the listener to perceive surround sound. In a larger room the sound bar simply becomes a solitary speaker... And although performing well... Cannot give you the same surround effect. I've used it without a sub; and never desired one. ample low frequency extension. Clean sounding. Audition if possible, as it will not replace separates but aesthetically pleasing and far less cables...

        Hello all, newbie here. Had my Panorama2 Sound bar for quite a few years now and it has been a stellar (if expensive) performer. Really great sound.

        I have a living room that had a really cheap Samsung sound bar that we picked up with a gift card a few years back. But I have always wanted to design and build a soundbar from scratch. So recently I did just that.

        Goal: Is to have a soundbar that sounds great and is compact for most...
