    Depends on the TV though as I don't use the extra ports on the plus and just put everything through the TV ports. That fortunately passes Dolby Atmos True HD and DTS:X.
    Tempted to get the mini for the bedroom but agree would be nicer if it was more priced like the beam.

    • @TotallydubbedHD

      Of course, as mentioned mine doesn't support it and many at that time (2018-19) didn't either.

    Just ordered the soundbar 500€ refurbished on sennheiser website, had to choose between ambeo mini and HK multibeam 1100 for the same price but the HK was an exhibition’s model ( I don’t know if we say it like this in English ), do u think it was the right choice, or I should try both and see wich one I keep

    • @TotallydubbedHD
      @TotallydubbedHD  5 місяців тому +1

      Presume you meant ex-display unit.
      I mean, if you have the chance to try both and return the one you don't like then do it. But I'd recommend the HK over this one.
