(Pocket-lint) - The Denon DHT-S516H offers a 2.1-channel speaker layout and support for its proprietary Heos multi-room system. It drops the centre channel found on the more expensive DHT-S716H, but adds a separate wireless subwoofer.
The emphasis is on high-quality components rather than features, although this particular bar works with the likes of Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant, plus it has an HDMI connection and support for Apple AirPlay 2. It can also use the Heos platform to create a 5.1-channel system.
However it suffers from two of the same limitations as the Bowers & Wilkins Formation Bar: specifically it doesn t come with a remote control, forcing you to use the app, and it only supports lossy audio. The former is annoying, but the latter a surprise given the emphasis on sound quality.
