Our Verdict

LG SL10YG

Vizio SB46514-F6

The Vizio SB46514-F6 is a better soundbar system than the LG SL10YG. Its stereo soundstage sounds wider, and it has dedicated surround speakers, which helps make a more immersive surround experience. Its Atmos performance is also noticeably more accurate, which might be helped by the extra up-firing speaker on the surround speakers, which the LG lacks entirely.
