Klipsch\u2019s new Flexus<\/span> Core 200 is the most powerful and cinematic soundbar I\u2019ve heard at its price. While many of the best soundbars<\/a> aim to be everything to everyone, Klipsch and its partner Onkyo buckled down to create a simple and skillful Dolby Atmos bar that melds Klipsch sonics with Onkyo electronics for knockout value.<\/p>\n

There is a catch, of course. While the Flexus mimics other \u201cmodular\u201d soundbar systems, letting you add components like satellite surround speakers and\/or a burly subwoofer for a fee, the system omits advancements like auto-calibration to tune to your room, or Wi-Fi support to stream audio from services like Spotify Connect or AirPlay. This limits both the convenience and the quality of streaming music.<\/p>\n

That doesn\u2019t mean the Flexus is stuck in the past. You\u2019ll get a modern app that connects over Bluetooth LE (Low Energy) for adjusting EQ and other settings, matched by traditional home theater trappings not found in rivals, like MDF components and a subwoofer out to let you connect any powered sub. However you accessorize, the Flexus Core 200 lives up to its name with fantastic baseline performance that lets you build as you go.<\/p>\n

Full Bar<\/h2>\n

Compared to the growing class of \u201cfun size\u201d Atmos soundbars like the Sonos Beam<\/a> and Bose Smart Soundbar 600<\/a>, the Core 200\u2019s massive size is almost startling. Stretching 44 inches across and just over 3 inches high, it looks more like Sony\u2019s $1,000 HT-A5000<\/a> than most rivals in its class. Its height also makes it a potential obstacle for those with shorter TVs.<\/p>\n
