LG Electronics SPK8 Kabellos Speaker System Black

Product Information

Although it has fewer channels and less power than its flagship sibling, the SP8YA doesn’t feel like a massive step down sonically. The soundstage still feels expansive, and there’s actually more focus and punch to action scenes, while the option to add the rear surrounds could be an easy and relatively inexpensive way to improve its immersive abilities. It’s not perfect though. There are better Dolby Atmos performers available for not much more outlay, such as the Sonos Arc, and the separate sub feels like a bit of a missed opportunity, especially considering rival Samsung’s punchy Q range.

The SL8YG’s only average performance doesn’t just let down its practical, friendly form, it also undermines the exhaustive feature set on offer here. While the streaming abilities of many soundbars start and end with Bluetooth, the LG expands upon that with network smarts and hi-res audio support (up to 24-bit/192kHz). There's support for Dolby Atmos and DTS:X and higher-spec features such as eARC, 4K pass-through and high res audio, though there's no Meridian Audio technology on-board. While the small size of the SL8YG’s drivers is no doubt partly to blame for its limited dynamic range, that has at least allowed LG to create a compact bar that’s shallow (12cm) and short (5.5cm) – the ideal design for placement under a TV. At 106cm wide, it’s about the width of a modern 49in TV and will also fit very neatly beneath a 55in or 65in model.We searched for all of the Home cinema systems and sound bars that we could find at Currys.

The woofer sounds a little out of touch with the bar, too, sacrificing cohesion and almost acting like a fog over the rest of the frequency range. You certainly don’t need to apply the ‘Bass’ mode. In fact, we’d keep it on the most tonally pleasing ‘Movie’ or ‘Music’ modes, flawed though those are. LG is introducing three new sound modes to better tailor audio processing to the type of content that you’re watching. In addition to the existing music, cinema and bass blast profiles, there will be new modes for Sports and Gaming as well as 'Clear Voice' that will enhance the signal being sent to the soundbars centre channel for more dialogue clarity. The new modes will feature on the SP11RA, SP9YA, SP8YA, SPD7Y and SP7Y.
