Samsung HW-R650 vs Sonos Playbar

The Samsung HW-R650 is slightly better than the Sonos Playbar by itself, as we haven't tested the Sonos with a wireless sub or satellites. Both have a dedicated center channel for great dialogue performance, but the sub of the Samsung gives it a small edge when it comes to bass performance. However, the Sonos has a noticeably larger soundstage and room correction. On the other hand, it lacks inputs like HDMI ports and doesn't support Bluetooth.
