I am reviewing Cinema 800 with its current value not 999.
At 999 it is definitely too expensive reasons and comparisons I will mention below
Pros -
1. Bass module has good extension
2. Can be connected via Chromecast or Apple airplay for streaming music.
3. Sound is good only after burn in
4. Setup and video pass thru works as designed
5. App is good

Cons -
1. Too many dropouts with sub (thankfully not within a session ). You have to restart the soundbar to establish the connection again and it happens too often for it to be a irritating.
2. In a busy scene dialog intelligibility even turning dialog to 1 is low . You really have to crank up the volume .
3. Chromecast dropouts frequently
4. I had Samsung soundbar which was much louder at volumes like 25 then cinema 800 which provides similar output at 50+
5. Burn in take weeks .

How it compares with others , likes of JBL, Samsung , Sonos and Bose … I would say it compares better with JBL and given the current price kills JBL to my ears but others beat cinema 800 in intelligibility but this wins points for that 10” bass module .
This setup is only good for medium room , not for large or open space rooms.
If you decide to buy this soundbar do buy it with its surround that works well and enhances the experience.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

The Bluetooth connection tends to disconnect and I have to reset it to make it work again.

Sub loses connection constantly and overall volume has to be at 50+ for normal TV sound.

Sounds great when it connects to my samsung q90.... problem is it doesn't connect automatically. When it does connect. . We have to use two remotes. Looks like a problem with the hdmi arc.

Please make sure CEC and ARC are enabled within your TV's settings! Please also make sure the audio output format is set to Pass-Through (Bitstream).

I love this system and have already recommended it to a colleague from work, and it's made in the USA to boot. Just wish it had analog inputs.
I would recommend this to a friend!
