Where to put your soundbar and subwoofer: try four spots
The critic
A soundbar and subwoofer sound very different depending on where you put them. Corners boost bass but tend to blur it, a cabinet can muffle a bar, and a simple crawl around the room beats guessing.
Try four subwoofer spots and three soundbar positions on a room plan, then learn the crawl test and where an Atmos bar wants its ceiling.
