B&W Panorama 3 Dolby Atmos soundbar review

The Panorama 3 is a competent, detailed and weighty soundbar

Sleek low profile design ; Weighty bottom end ; Self-contained

Voices lack clarity ; Not a particularly expansive soundstage ; Tonally inconsistent

The Panorama 3 has a room-filling sound with an impressive low end, but overall it’s a touch uneven, with dialogue that lacks clarity and sparkle

B&W Panorama 2

Much improved on the original and delivering a quality that justifies the price

Direct, focused sound ; Clear dialogue ; Great integration ; HDMI inputs ; Luxury design ; Superb build quality

The B&W Panorama 2 is an improvement on its predecessor and outguns many of its rivals for pure sonic ability. It's not cheap, but the improved level of functionality and focused sound more than compensate.

B&W Panorama 3 Soundbar Review - HomeTheaterHifi.com

Bowers & Wilkins (B&W) expects to raise the bar with its first Dolby-Atmos capable soundbar, the Panorama 3

Great build quality ; Sleek and stylish appearance ; Up-to-date Dolby surround processing ; Wireless streaming features ; Solid operation ; Good surround performance

DTS processing support ; Option to connect a subwoofer

The excellently built B&W PANORAMA 3 SOUNDBAR possesses the versatility and performance that bring good value to its $999 asking price.
