I was on a client visit today in a reseller shop that had this soundbar, I asked him what he recommended for a pairing to my LG Oled. He played a demo at less than half volume and the whole store shaked, I heard sounds coming from above, the sides and everything - I literally got goosebumps.

Which one do you recomend this H. Kardon Citation Multibeam 1100 or Bose 900?

Bought this soundbar 8 months ago. The best sound footage to check its Dolby Atmos power is Top Gun 2022 and specifically the first minutes scene witn Edd Harris and the aerofighter flying above your head. This bar gives an incredible atmos experience in this specific moment.

Thanx for your review. I have one question when speaking about 630W. What kind of watts are you talking about? I'm pretty sure it's not RMS watts which is the only real measure used in the pro audio industry... it seems that the 630w advertised here is simply a marketing argument concerning the maximum power possible during a peak of a few milli seconds. This is irrelevant and misleads the consumer....Am I wrong? ;-)
