Hey Chaps! What speaker/soundbar do you use?? ➡ Also, check out the awesome TCL product range here: bit.ly/3KOEo5W

2:14 for the HDTVTEST fans. A Vincent cameo.

This would pair perfectly with my parents’s B&O TV from 1987. Watched Star Wars on that this back in 95, and the audio made me a Star Wars fan

B&O is ridiculously priced, but who cares. If you're in that bracket, it's an appealing choice. Beautiful design, incredible sound and over-and-beyond support.

Love it. I auditioned one in a store 2 weeks ago & passers by outside the store stopped & came in for a listen. It's worth reinforcing that it's not JUST a "soundbar". It's more of a sound PROCESSING hub that will eq, group & deliver digital signal to 8 wired & a further 8 speakers wirelessly. So you might add speakers around your home in different rooms in the future, all controlled from the Theatre. Another aspect of purchasing B&O is they don't just wave goodbye to you once you've bought. It is INSTALLED & set up for you. Cost is high, but value is higher.

For that kind of price you could get an awesome stereo system or even a pretty decent surround, if you have the cash why would you ever stick to a sound bar?

Were you able to do a comparison between the theater vs. sonos arc + sub setup?

Vincent dude

15k speakers as rears... Truly a luxury problem 😂😂😂😂

Great review - do you feel that the 28 on the back were diffusing the bass across the room ? With no additional subwoofer I am wondering if the 28 are picking it up. Thanks

For that money you could fit out a real cinema room with proper 7.2.4 ATMOS. That will blow this bar away.

This soundbar is more expensive than my car Wait, I don't have one

I like it is the sound bar can work with any kind of Tv or just work with LG panel

i'm shocked, this cost 6 grand ... and B&O doesn't even pay the DTS license so it only decode "dolby"

Regardless of how long the sound bar will last it will still be amazing. We don’t know how long it will last. What we do know is that they are the finest Danish audio makers in the world with rich heritage. The sound bar is a timeless work of art that is built to the highest level of craftsmanship. It also happens to sound amazing.

Nice, what kind of tv it’s that ?

Usually there is no comparison, this company makes systems that actually listen and adapt the sound to your hearing preferences, what I mean by that is that if you only had the amplifier you could hook up a good quality microphone by recommendations and you bring the microphone to where you sit and and would tune everything to the point where you are listening.... At a point that they remove echo and distortion at a minimum to bring the purest or neutral sound possible.... No need for an audio room to enjoy all of that great sound...

Test it out on the Tomahawk throwing seen in the movie Prey. That should sound amazing.

Reflected sound 🤔 that's funny coz being a bit of a home theatre enthusiast, I've just spent a shitload getting rid of reflected sound. Reflections brings the same sound, accept it slightly delayed! And a delayed sound can sound kind of muddy. (To experienced ears anyway!) Mind you having such a well-known brand and considering the tweeters are forward facing... I would imagine one wouldn't have any problems understanding the dialogue (No rewinding) What about the vocals... well that's where music comes into it and I'm afraid to say no matter how much money a soundbar cost, if the drivers doesn't have enough space between one another, one is not gonna experience any stereo separation / stereo imaging or more importantly soundstage imaging! Basically if one wants to hear vocals / instruments in different parts of the room... well unfortunately am afraid that's only going to be virtual. I suppose this will all come down to ones viewing habits. If one prefers listening to the TV (rather than music) and doesn't want to mess around with AVRs/amps chassis, cables etc, well this might be the right choice for you. But if one wants to experience both, then that's a whole different matter.

Your sitting style talking style is another level boss You live your life as you want 🌹

Am sure everyone is rushing out the door to buy this new soundboard! So amazing 👏

I'm genuinely shocked that for THAT high of a price, only 25% of the HDMI inputs meet the current standard (2.1) required to properly run latest gen consoles/PC hardware at their full spec. If I had the money to chuck around for this and say an 83" OLED, I would genuinely consider spending that much on a good and stylish speaker setup ... but the notion that I would have to choose between running a PS5 or an XBsX or an HTPC at HDMI 2.1 and thus resigning the rest to only 60hz at 4k is essentially unforgivable at this price-point. Though I guess with that kind of wealth I would probably have a separate gaming-room setup. Still, it contradicts all the "forward-thinking" notion to not even jump up the 3 out of 4 HDMI 2.0 options up to 2.1, which probably only costs a couple of dollars in manufacturing....

Wouldn't the wood actually "cut off" some of the sound

Got one and we're really really happy with it!

That guy is like a wizard with TVs

За встречу с Винсентом отдельный лайк !)

Just convinced my parents to buy this. Can't wait to go home and hear it.

Random q … where did you get your grey trousers from? 😅

What was that game they where playing in that monitor? The guy was shoting a samurai or something like that, does anyone know the game name?????

And I thought the Sennheiser AMBEO was ridiculously expensive..! BTW, how do they compare?

Danish design 🇩🇰 If you keep it long enough, it’ll most likely appreciate in value.

B&O, Harman & Kardon, Bowers & Wilkins, Bose. They all were once known for high quality products and still feed of that image. But as with many companies these days, you can tell that a new generation of management is maximizing margin and quantity sold. When I compare todays products to the ones I have from 20-30 years ago there is a definite decrease in built quality (much more plastic etc. and they advertise 10 years now?). I don't think these super expensive products are anything more than market reseach on how much you can milk the market of people that correlate price with quality without any proof, as long as it has this fancy aura to it.

Amazing Video

I agree with Vincent there, bigger is better.

I want a full TCL booth tour...

Keep up the great work All I need is a heart from u….

wow, interesting!

You can actually make a home theater set up for that price.

Jeez man, 2 whole minutes out of 9 was an ad, and that's on top of the YT ads.

You should compare this Nakamichi Dragon which I pre-ordered for $3500. 11.4.6 and 3000 Watts!

This new TCL is a Gamechanger

Tom, you are truly a good guy if Vincent Teoh is your buddy....

The September 2023 price rise of 25% has not helped hopeful owners. An increase of £1800 to £8790, is an increase of more than most would spend on a sound bar. It offers the control and staging of Beolab speakers for surround, front, side and rear speakers and even older powerlink models.

It sounds overly bright to me. Which is crazy I can even hear that through my own speakers.

All time classic design, only for the elite

Ordered one, can’t wait!

I own one, it's ok.

Review Sony HT-A9.

lol Bang and olufensen have a hard time selling tv´s and speakers in Denmark and elsewhere that cost 12-18.000 euros and was about to get backrupt... it is not for normal people. but they have make alot of entry stuff now ,like bluetooth speakers and headphones ect. . but i am glad that now you can buy some of there old innovative speakers like the beolab 5 for much less.

I don't care how good the sound is, that price is just ridiculous

Love the reviews; but please filter in a lot more budget and mid-range stuff in general.

My Samsung Q90R does a solid job for us mortals down here 😀

I'd be yearning for Cadburys chocolate fingers all the time.....😂

A few very expensive products you've recently reviewed, The Tech Chap!

Surprisingly I can tell by this video this system sounds great! I'm using Samsung Q990B as my system and even with your mic I can tell the bass for starters is excellent. Best design for sure, love it.

$10,000 for only 10 years? I recently upgraded and moved my 15 year old Yamaha YSP-3000 and subwoofer that I used on a daily basis to our den because it still works flawlessly👍

Why is it at that price?

An item for the insane or rich. B&O make superior equipment, but you'll pay for it and then some.

Looks a bit balky. Wish it was slimmer like modern sound bars

If I had the money I would buy just for the looks alone

7:31 🤣🤣

£10k+ setup, motion smoothing left on.

I’ll buy this. Need to save up a bit more because I’m not rich

Vincent!!!

Who buys a soundbar every few years ? I have the Bose 300 plus 2 surround speakers 🔊 is amazing it cost 1/5

Magnifico.🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑

I pay for KZfaq premium yet I still get adverts/sponsored

You can't call it the best until you've tried the Vifa Stockholm 2.0. But this b&o looks really nice until you see the price.

and you compare it with sonos ? lol

I think I am already happy with the Sonos Arc. That thing is too friggin huge as a soundbar.

It is fantastic; in every way !!! Go & have a listen, it will blow your mind.

Gamechanger

5:19 sound tests dont really work when your recording it and upload it to youtube then people play on there phone..lol

For the comments in here. It is worth every penny. If you aren’t an audiophile, just forget about it and move on.

That's ridiculous..and my 250 pound Sony 5.1 tbh sounds so good l honestly can't tell if anything is better...its that good. For music l bought a wireless Bluetooth headset ...and l will keep the 5000 pounds l saved myself for ...life.

LOL that hideous.

Not sold on it

Right, if I spend thousands on a TV - sure I can convince myself to spend another 7grand on a soundbar. And another quick 230.000$ for a Lamborghini Urus. Because - what does it matter at that point? After the soundbar I need to rob a bank anyways so...

That retro look isn't working for me. I would even leave out the mirror side panels.

That is idiotic, that costs twice as much as my 77" G1.

I'd rather get a top tier gaming desktop than this

Great video but I love my Sonos Arc and I don't think it's any better than the Arc to be honest.

The wood version looks really naff!

Huge TCL advertisement segment…no, no

B&O is always over priced. Not for medium income. Buy a set of Sonos, it’s good enough for majority and easy enough to use.

Well.. I must throw another side of the coin. I think possibly it’s damn stupid thing to spend 2k on TV then spend 7k on a f**king soundbar. Your money. However you spend it of course.

Why would they demo a sound system in a room with all those hard surfaces? Makes my ears hurt just looking at it. It sounds echo-y and boxy in this video.

Damm, for that price, I could a new LG 65” OLED with a complete Home Theatre SONOS set up. Even if the SONOS last 5 years, and you have to spend on a new system, it will still be cheaper than buying this.

Yea nice, nice price and has the added bonus of annoying your neighbours......

It just doesn‘t get into my head. Why do people spend that much on a soundbar if they could build a proper 5.1 or even Atmos AV setup for the same money which will give you much better immersion and the feel of sounds coming from the right places. No matter how good this is it cannot replicate that and it will give you a comparatively small sound stage. People are just not used to proper setups anymore so they live in the illusion that this is peak performance…

From the video it sounds unnatural, and even in person I've experience that sound bards sound strange (the effects are too high/sharp with no good balance), to me this is not good audio, I want a balanced sound, natural (as you hear in the real world).

Wet.

It may sound good, but I would never buy it. It is ugly.

The inside looks like cheep Chinese plastic speakers (green ugly pcb) damn people are getting ripped off

Two aktive speekers sounds WAY better than this soundbar. Eks Argon ForteA5 you can bye them new for 550$ if yuo want even better sound and for a fair price bye Powernode (amp) and Dali Oberon1 (speekers) price 1600$... This produkt is for People who dont know what god sound is all about.. Sterio will beat Mono every day.

Boy is this thing ugly or what ? They can't pay me enough to use it.

I think it looks dreadful. My Harmon Kardon citation bar looks much nicer.

Nope. even if I were a millionaire I can never justify that

I’ve seen better designs from B&O.
