DALI Kubik One Soundsystem black

After investing nearly £800 on a Soundbar Speaker and reading all the reviews , I chose to purchase this one , I sold my old Bose Lifestyle V-30 surround sound system which had too many wires but had an amazing sound reproduction , This product blew me away with the quality, depth and clarity of sound , It was incredibly easy to connect to my Sony Bravia T.V. with an optical lead , And bluetooth to my computer and i-phone even easier . In fact I wanted to play all the songs I had bought in the last decade to try out the quality ! The remote is small and made of metal ! There is also 3 settings for base sound on the back of the Soundbar , Some people have said there isn't enough base with this product but there definitely is.Possibly one of the best sound systems I have ever bought .

I use this soundbar as my sound system when watching TV or dvds. The sound is far more convincing than that from any tv. The quality of sound at all parts of the audible frequency range is very impressive. It gives an atmospheric sound when watching movies, which cannot quite compete with a proper surround system, but does not require satellite speakers and the necessary wiring. I thoroughly recommend this product.

Really great sounding system. I have it connected to a Samsung TV via optical and a Sonos bridge via analogue. I appear to be one of the lucky ones with the new metal controller, though it's rarely used as I control the whole lot using a Harmony control system.

Very disappointedly the USB connection is limited to 16bit/48kHz, much lower than the advertised 24bit/96kHz.Say goodbye to the bass effects of the movie films, because without onboard Dolby/DTS decoder TV-s and DVD/Bluray players discard the LFE channel when they downmix Dolby 5.1 or DTS to stereo.What use of a very expensive and supposedly high quality equipment when you are not able to listen to high quality content?

Amazing sound. I listen to cheaper and dearer ones in the store and this one stood out for me. By the way i have spent over £250K on my main drawing room system, so my expectations are quite high.Pluses and NegsPlusThe sound is really really good for what it is and the price.NegativesRemote is a bit of a joke. Just make it bigger guys!There should be a reset button to clear BT pairing. If you try out a bunch of different sources remembering which was the last to unpair is a real pain.Just set it up so will update this comment as i find out more about it.Update.... I have been using this for over a month now, and the sound is still good, however it does not pair properly with my LG TV which is more than a little annoying, but not as annoying as the terrible remote controller which is the only way to adjust volume etc.. I contacted their customer support and no response whatsoever.Lack of customer support is a a big failing in my book and so where I was going to buy 4 more of these, i will give them a miss now. For this price one expects the product to do all it says it can do.

For my living room

Just replaced a Yamaha yas105 with a Dali Kubik 1. The sound is way better, with a massive improvements in dialogue clarity. 5 star for sound!! I also bought it because of the IR learning facility ( to be able to use your tv remote to control the sound bar too) well that's ok for most people but it turns out it doesn't work with Panasonic TVs. In fact it will cause you all sorts of problems. To cut a long story short Richer Sounds York were brilliant and contacted Dali who admitted the IR learning doesn't work with Panasonic remotes ( my cheap Yamaha worked fine!!) we managed to reset the soundbar disabling the Remote learning facility. So I use the rubbish remote supplied by Dali alongside my Panasonic tv remote. Richer sounds have found a work around and that's to replace your Panasonic remote with a Logitech harmony one which should work. I've yet to try that.

Please note that this product is not fully compatible with all modern TVs. I have had this soundbar for two years now and it worked fine with my 2 year old Samsung TV however since having to replace that TV I have tried this soundbar with a Samsung KS8000 and an LG OLED55B6V and both have the same issue that there are blips in the sound every 20 seconds or so. I had this confirmed with Richer Sounds and whilst Dali agree, they say this is a fault with the TV not the soundbar. Either way this is a compatibility issue so beware. I can confirm that the remote is very poor and IR learning doesn't work with some remotes. Unfortunately will now be selling this product.
