The Bar 2.0 proves to be up to the mission it has entrusted to itself, however humble it may be. This soundbar is an honest listening companion if you just want to improve the sound performance of your TV without breaking the bank. It will still have to compete with the HT-SF200, which turns out to be a slightly more interesting choice thanks to its better sound precision and its softer sound reproduction.
