Our Verdict

Klipsch Bar 48

Klipsch Cinema 400

The Klipsch Cinema 400 is a better soundbar than the Klipsch Bar 48. The Cinema 400 has a more neutral, balanced sound profile, so it's suitable for lots of different types of audio content. However, the Bar 48 is better built, and it has a better center channel performance thanks to its 3.1 setup.
