Get that sound quality cinematic dreams

are made of. Carrying on Focal’s long tradition of producing immersive audio,

the Sib Evo 5.1.2 comes with two loudspeakers, each of which boasts an up-firing driver that bounces sound off the ceiling for that 3D auditory experience. Of course, those Sib & Co loudspeakers themselves are a treat.

Don’t discount a 3.1-channel solution, especially for covering smaller spaces. The G700 soundbar might be missing up-firing speakers, but Sony’s innovative Vertical Surround Engine lets you have the same immersive audio, albeit virtually. Thanks to this technology, its frontfiring speakers recreate a vertical sound for the Dolby Atmos experience,

rounded out with a powerful sub for that rumble you crave.
