JBL Bar 1300MK2

Building a proper home theatre system is tough. While I admit that even the most high-end soundbar systems are incomparable to traditional AV receiver setups, dealing with the web of speakers and cables is often a time-consuming and, honestly, frustrating process. In recent years, however, brands have been working towards providing a home theatre-like experience without the hassle and the costs attached to it. JBL's new flagship Bar 1300MK2 also attempts to bridge this gap, pairing an 11.1.4-channel sound system with detachable wireless surround speakers to deliver a cinema-grade performance in your living room.
