Our Verdict
Bowers & Wilkins Panorama 3
LG S75Q
The LG S75Q is a better 3.1.2 setup than the Bowers & Wilkins Panorama 3. These bars have slightly different designs, as the LG comes with a dedicated subwoofer, whereas the B&W's sub is integrated into the bar. The LG reproduces a more extended low-bass, and it also has a better soundstage. There are also more sound enhancement features on hand.
