Best Sound Bars, Digital Sound Projectors, and 3-in-1 Speakers

The Motion Vision features a separate amplifier for each speaker driver (for a total of seven), five channel audio decoding/processing, and both traditional cone mid-range/bass driver, and Folded Motion Tweeters, which provide faster response and more precise imaging for high frequencies.

The Motion Vision also includes both analog and digital audio inputs, as well as Dolby Digital/DTS surround-sound decoding, and additional Dolby Virtual Speaker audio processing. The Motion Vision even provides both wired and wireless external subwoofer connectivity, should you desire a more impactful home theater listening experience.

The Episode ES-300-SNBAR-40 is a sound bar style loudspeaker unit, about 40-inches long, that includes Left, Center, and Right channel speakers. The center channel delivers a very good vocal and dialog presence from both music and movie material. Also, the sound from the left and right channels is not only clear and detailed, but projects a sound field beyond the physical borders of the speaker cabinet. At 40-inches in width, the ES-300-SNBAR-40 is a great match for placement above or below LCD/Plasma TVs with screen sizes up to 46-inches. Also, the ES-300-SNBAR-40 does not have built-in amplifiers, so connection to a home theater receiver or amplifier is required. Also, for best bass results, an external subwoofer is recommended.
