LG Electronics SPK8 Kabellos Speaker System Black

Product Information

As with any electrical items, it’s particularly important to study the quality of a product before you buy it. This is especially important for Home cinema systems and sound bars. But when we’re buying online, what can be done to get an idea of a product’s quality? Sadly, that isn’t the case. LG’s middling form in this market continues. Perhaps in 2020 it will turn it around. Inside the Eclair are five drivers: a centre channel, left and right channels (positioned at 45-degree angles to widen the soundstage), and two up-firing drivers for Dolby Atmos and DTS:X height effects.

2.0 Channel Sound Bar Wireless Rear Speaker Kit (SPK8-S) - LG USA

The LP2 is LG's entry-level bar but also one of its most design-friendly. It has a three-sided jersey wrap in two colours – dark or light grey – and wood-tone finished ends. With two front-facing drivers, it's the only bar in the range not to have a separate wireless sub and instead has a built-in bass driver with dual passive radiators. We start by watching Uncut Gems in Dolby Atmos with its notoriously abrasive and complicated audio mix. The heavily scored opening scene that segues from an Ethiopean gem mine to a colonoscopy has a cinematic reach beyond the SP8YA’s size, easily filling the room (and matching a larger screen). At the same time, the heavy, liturgical synths feel well spaced and tonally vibrant. Want to know everything there is to know about LG's 2021 soundbar range?

We’ll dive into a lot more detail on the price of LG SPK8-S 2.0 Wireless Rear Speaker Kit shortly, but in terms of quality, the obvious advice here is ‘you get what you pay for’. It’s really just being aware that if you’re buying the cheapest of the Home cinema systems and sound bars from Currys PC World you might not expect the same level of quality as you’d get from a decent quality product like LG SPK8-S 2.0 Wireless Rear Speaker Kit. Expand Your Sound. Pair the LG Rear Speaker Kit to an SL10YG, SL9YG, SL8YG, SL7Y, SL5Y, SL4Y, SK10Y, SK9Y, SK8Y, SK6Y or SK5Y Sound Bar for a true cinematic home theatre surround sound experience. Switching to Steely Dan’s sonically precise but lyrically questionable Cousin Dupree, the split between the high and low end on the SP8YA feels a bit more pronounced. The sparkling clarity of the hi-hat and the leading edge of the guitar feels unbalanced by the slightly limp sub on what should be a tight funk bass line. However, it doesn’t manage to pull focus, and smaller embellishments such as the syncopated keyboard line and vocal harmonies still sing out.

There are better Dolby Atmos performers available for not much more outlay, such as the Sonos Arc, and the separate sub feels like a bit of a missed opportunity, especially considering rival Samsung’s punchy Q range.
