Hello DTS:X and HDMI pass-through
The big Harman booth at Audio Advice Live 2025, which took place in Raleigh, North Carolina, from August 1-3, was packed with displays from the company’s many brands, including JBL, JBL Synthesis, Arcam, and, yes, Harman Kardon.
Among the products being demonstrated was the new Harmon Kardon Enchant 1100, a flagship 11-driver, 5.1.2-channel Dolby Atmos soundbar that, at $999 (around £750 / AU$1,500), is priced comparably to the Sonos Arc Ultra, one of the best soundbars, and a model designed to be the centerpiece of a multi-room home theater and music system.
Like the Arc Ultra, the Enchant 1100 can be expanded upon by adding an Enchant Sub wireless subwoofer ($449, around £340 / AU$700) and Enchant Speaker wireless surround speakers ($349, around £260 / AU$540 each).
With an upfiring Dolby Atmos driver embedded in the top surface of each Enchant speaker, adding a pair to the Enchant 1100 bumps things up to a 7.1.4-channel Dolby Atmos configuration, for even greater home theater immersion.
The Enchant 1100 can be linked with Enchant Speakers situated around the home as part of an app-controlled multi-room music system – another area where it crosses over with the Sonos Arc Ultra.
