This is my favorite mid-range soundbar. With a fantastic 3.1.2 channel arrangement, the Samsung Q600F has expansive sound both horizontally and vertically, and it offers crystal-clear dialogue. Although it doesn't have any smart home features like AirPlay, if you're after a soundbar and subwoofer that does everything to earn its place on your TV stand, then this is it.

The Bose Smart Ultra soundbar has a 5.1.2 channel setup and works with Bose's subwoofer range (sold separately). My favorite part of the Bose Smart range is that it links up with music streaming apps for seamless listening.

This Samsung soundbar is loud and in charge. There are a pair of surround speakers that come in the box for a much wider soundstage, and then a massive sub to make sure you get the most bass possible. For March Madness, there's little better. This soundbar can be delivered the next day with Amazon Prime.
