View online review whf.cm/JBL_Bar_1300
A soundbar package is a great option if you want serious movie sound but don’t want the fuss and expense of a full home cinema system. Comparatively simple, sleek and affordable, such packages usually consist of a bar, a subwoofer and two wireless surround speakers. The super-flexible approach of the JBL Bar 1300 sees the ends of the soundbar detaching to become the surround (or even standalone Bluetooth) speakers.
The Bar 1300 measures just under 140cm in width with the rear speakers attached on either end – that’s a lot of bar; wider than most standalone soundbars. However, with the rear speakers detached, the main soundbar section measures just 100cm, around the same as the smaller Yamaha True X bar.
The main soundbar houses six 46 x 90mm racetrack drivers, five 20mm tweeters, and four 70mmfeature three drivers of the same design as those included in the main bar, along with two rounded rectangle passive radiators. Having matching drivers across the different components should increase the potential for an even and seamless surround experience.
