Bose $1,099 Soundbar Holds Bass Without a Subwoofer

Bose's $1,099 Lifestyle Ultra Soundbar produces enough bass for small to medium rooms without a separate subwoofer, Engadget found in its Oct. 9 review. Its 5.2-channel design — five main plus two bass channels — uses CleanBass processing and QuietPort port design across nine speaker drivers to hold low-end tone. PCMag separately praised rich, clear playback of demanding surround-sound content.
