The editors didn't like
Optical-only connection
Virtual surround sounds artificial
TruePlay calibration for iOS only
Expensive
Treble is harsh
Often annoyingly so
Optical-only isn't very flexible - or even necessarily that simple
Won't work perfectly in every room
Harsh treble detracts from sonic strengths
Setup by the single optical input can be fiddly
Lacks high-res audio support
The wide effect needs breathing room -- unadorned walls
Too
If you please. No DTS support
HDMI ports or Bluetooth. If you have a "clawfoot" TV
It may not fit on top
Price
Limited connectivity and no physical remote
Physical size
Very expensive
No HDMI
Sub sold separately
No DTS Surround support
Individual speakers can be trumped for sound
No hi-res support
Lack of HDMI and no DTS decoding
Expensive if you want to build a system
Limited inputs/ relies on TV audio output quality
It only has an optical connection so may not work with older TVs that only have HDMI
It's expensive at £699
It won't mute music if a call comes through to your smartphone when you're playing music
