Soundbar or a stereo pair?

Films or records? A short guide to choosing between one bar and two boxes.

The short version

A soundbar is the simplest upgrade for a TV: one cable, a dedicated centre channel for voices and a remote you already know. A stereo pair wins for music, with a wider stage and a more natural sense of space.

If you do both, start with a pair that has HDMI eARC, or a bar now and a pair later in another room.
