Pros

  • Just picked up a Bose Smart Ultra open box for half off normal MSRP for the living room and love it (replaced a pair of Klipsch towers).
  • Smart and Ultra, both are really good, polished, pre-tuned Bose sound, like I am in a theater and listening to something expansive, and it is, not a lot for the money.
  • Parent context: Getting the Q990F and not using the rear speakers or the sub is just a waste and if I were to only have the Bar, the Bose Smart Ultra would be my choice my a lot. I’ve heard all 3 and it’s the best choice for what you’re...

  • If you only want a stand-alone soundbar without the sub or rears the Bose would be the best imo

Cons

  • Bose smart ultra not a bad choice but lack of dts dtx dts hd.
  • Bose and klipsch are lacking in terms of sound quality and technology.
  • Currently have a Bose Smart Ultra. Considering upgrading to a Sony Bravia Quad + Sub or a q990d or just getting a Bose subwoofer and rear speakers.
  • I’m currently investigating those options : 1 ) going with Bose again and the soundbar smart ultra, because I already own 2 pieces of hardware that can complete this setup: but I’m disappointed at how Bose is dealing with their customers...
  • Bose smart ultra.

Parent context: Getting the Q990F and not using the rear speakers or the sub is just a waste and if I were to only have the Bar, the Bose Smart Ultra would be my choice my a lot. I’ve heard all 3 and it’s the best choice for what you’re looking for and I’d bet the wife will like its looks the best as well. I normally don’t recommend the Bose because it’s got terrible rear speakers but since you don’t want that, … Reply: Thank you. That's what I was thinking. Just needed someone else to say it too :)
