First off, the bar has been set very high for soundbars in my house, thanks to the JBL Bar 1000. That soundbar produces amazingly accurate and rich sound, and I’ve yet to come across one to best it. Of course, the Bar 1000 sells for $1200 on Amazon, which is beyond the budget of many.
Thankfully, there are plenty of low- to midrange soundbars to choose from, and although the Stage Pro lives in the upper low-end spectrum of devices, it sounds much better than its price would imply.
