Soundbars and soundplates are speakers that have been developed specifically for use with TVs. We were stricter in our assessment than with televisions. We do not only expect good music and speech reproduction from soundbars. Film effects and compressed streams via Bluetooth must also be well implemented...

With the DHT-S517, Denon offers a pleasingly affordable soundbar-subwoofer combination with equally pleasingly good sound. It handles all the essentials and is not overloaded with features and functions. It is very easy to connect and operate and helps most flat-screen TVs to produce much better sound.

Denon shows how it's done! The DHT-S517 is certainly not the best 3D soundbar system on the market, but it is by far the best that crosses the counter for under 400 euros - better 3D effects are not currently available in this price range.
