If all you want from your reasonably compact, reasonably affordable soundbar is to put the native sound of your TV to shame, you’ve come to the right place.

Good spec includes DTS Virtual:X 3D sound; Usefully compact and nicely finished; Capable of direct, expansive sound;

One-note bass reproduction; Predecessor was even less expensive..; Some EQ presets less effective than others

For those after a soundbar that's compact and easy to use, then this Yamaha is a solid and affordable option. If you're a soundbar with a bit more beef to its bass, then perhaps look elsewhere

Neat and tidy; Enveloping ‘3D’ sound; Shelf- or wall-mountable;

Short of bass variation;

If you want to put an audio rocket up your gaming and movie-watching experience, without properly breaking the bank or filling up your space with a big, imposing soundbar, the Yamaha SR-B20A may be the way forward. It's not perfect - that low-frequency reproduction is less adept than it should be - but it most certainly has outright scale on its side.

Discreet and quite sophisticated design; Expansive audio presentation; Can be wall-mounted or stand on a surface;

Bass reproduction lacks variation; Some EQ presets are unhelpful; Far from the cheapest solution around;

One problem It isnt compatible with our Samsung tv Cannot play U tube through it.

Enhances the TV audio to a high degree.

Very clear sound, easy operation and great features. Would recommend to anyone looking for a quality sound bar at an affordable price.

Great for music, movies etc, elegant soundbar design without ugly subwoofer boxes and cables going everywhere Very happy with sound quality. More than loud enough for the average lounge room. Plug it in via HDMI, no app interface, WiFi etc to over complicate it. Comes with a remote.

Suits our application perfectly
