Denon 550,, simpicity
So simple to setup, ,only tricky bit having to reset my JVC TV to accept, now works on app or supplied remote or TV remote. The volume counter shows on tv screen as before. When you turn on the tv the sound bar automatically fires up and is good to go after 4 or 5 seconds. the bar is deceptively loud and very clear at the far end of my house.

Very simple to set up
I’ve had this sound bar for just 2 weeks , the more I use it the more I love it , was a little unsure to start with as some programs sounded a little bit tinny , but once your watch a DVD the sound bar more than comes into its own . Very clear dialogue, I’ve set mine to low , the sound bar is now enhanced with Alexa

Brilliant sound bar
I bought this based of reviews online and never hearing the sound bar in person. All the reviews stated what a great sound bar it was and after having used a Sony sound bar with a subwoofer previously, I was a tiny bit sceptical about the amount of bass such a compact unit could produce. When I connected it up I was very pleasantly surprised about how good the sound is from such a small device. It is by far the best sound bar I have heard to date. I bought the Sony sound bar from Currys and I think they’re displays are bass boosted as the unit did not produce anywhere near the bass on my TV that it did in the shop. Even after not hearing the Denon in person before purchasing, reviews together with me thinking Denon is a great brand that makes high-quality products was definitely worth the investment. So far I’ve watched TV shows and movies and there’s a more than capable sound bar. I have used the Bluetooth function as well with my iPhone.
If you were looking for a very reasonable priced sound bar provides great sound that I would highly recommend this one. I bought online for delivery to richer sounds in Newcastle and as always customer service was exceptional.

Denon Sound Bar 550
Recently purchased to reduce living room clutter, have linked to Panasonic GZ1500 OLED and UB9000 Ultra 4K player - far exceeded my expectations as used to 7.1
sound system. Not had chance to use to its full potential but am looking forward to very much so. The need for a sub woofer I found not essential very good bass, I do have the 7.1 set up in another room so am very fortunate to experience both..
