Bowers & Wilkins Panorama - Pros & Cons

highly articulate dialogue and solid surround sound action
The track has a nice build
the palpable and fairly taut bass response
sounded great right out of the box with its default settings
stylish
sound great and cost less than a fortune sounds
The front-facing fabric mesh looks fine
naturally well-designed and made from high-quality materials
s performance ranges from very good to excellent
The channel separation is very clear
robust and sufficiently powerful lows
Voices are reproduced with conviction and sufficient depth and power when required
extremely well judged and coherent - the highs of
crisp
stunning sound effects and beautiful separation in the front virtual channels
clean
minimalist
and understated
engrossing
engaging and generally quite convincing listen
Panorama 3 is an accomplished music speaker
sounded spare and simple
it does a decent job and is most successful with acoustic and classical tracks
resulting sound is almost entirely admirable
very nicely implemented
simple and elegant Panorama 3 is certainly easy to use
everything is put together perfectly and feels built to last
more logical
more stable and more useful than some alternatives
the news is almost equally good
looking
great sounding and effortlessly cool
It is also excellent for playing music
tight
balanced
dynamic
reasonably deep
impressively impactful
refreshingly affordable and definitely easy to set up

not as easy as it sounds
the market-it has no HDMI input
trickle-down technology
mute the TV or turn off the TV's internal speakers
no need for a receiver or amplifier
the sound engineers simply don't push much audio to the rear channels
The sound bounces off the walls of your room
No HDMI input means no LPCM
The Panorama is a bit of a let-down
the Sonos Arc is slightly larger
only available in black at the moment
it lacks a few features
Panorama 3 only has one HDMI port
likely only use the app to adjust the volume
there is no tweeter for the left and right channels
Cancel reply This site uses Akismet to reduce spam
Amazon Alexa voice control is any of these other options are somehow insufficient
lack of multi-room ability
it can also be a pain depending on the foibles of your equipment
no DTS decoding
Panorama 3 lacks a room calibration feature like
no Apple or Amazon Music support
iffy bass with a subwoofer
tall-screen sound only somewhat
never sound remote from the rest of the soundtrack
bar only and lacks any video inputs or outputs
The song is quite dense
There was a lack of a stereo effect
Bad Terrible
terrible set-up
the sound quality of the Panorama is skewed in favour of movies
home theater Atmos system
large and expensive speaker system
does not block the front of TVs when used on a stand
there's no support for AirPlay or Bluetooth wireless streaming
The remote control is a bit of a disappointment
Rear-channel effects were a bit less convincing
muting the sound once and accidentally turned the Panorama 2 off
the Panorama 2 was also a mixed bag
Sonos Arc is streets ahead in this respect
it can quickly become unfocused
losing coherence
have its own dedicated remote
sound overly closeted and
occasionally
speech is muffled
the imaging can become a bit cluttered and unbalanced

Bowers & Wilkins's Panorama 3 soundbar: What you hear is what you get

3.5

B&W’s first Dolby Atmos soundbar packs in a bevy of high-end features, but you can’t boost its iffy bass with a subwoofer.

Despite a couple of flaws, the B&W Panorama is one of the best soundbars we've ever heard. It's time to save your pocket money.

B&W Panorama Soundbar Speaker

Price: $2,200 At A Glance: 5.1-channel decoding in a single soundbar • Decoding for Dolby Digital and DTS, not lossless • Strong bass even when subwoofer output is not used 5.1 Channels in One Why shouldn’t respectability and innovation be on speaking terms? In loudspeakers, that’s not as easy as it sounds. Much of the recent audio innovation in home theater has come in products that are designed to complement flat-panel TVs. These products are morphing before our eyes—into soundbars, on-walls, and ever-smaller satellites.
