James, Artison or Goldenear Soundbars?


Moving into a new house and my concession to my wife is that my Wilson Benesch Discoverys will have to move to my home office and we'll a soundbar in the family room.  I didn't care for the sound of the Sony/Samsung/LG/etc. soundbars and looking for something will sound decent.  I've heard the Goldenear soundbar and liked it, but wondering if anyone either owns or has listened to the James or Artison soundbars and might be able to comment on them.  Thanks!

Azkeith we sell many high end soundbars as well as many on walls. 

You may have more options than just a soundbar.

We are a well respected custom dealer and audiophile shop in NJ

You can obviously use a soundbar, and there are way more choices than just Golden Ear and James. 

First of all do you want to use a powered soundbar or use a surround sound receiver?

The Nad Blue Sound Pulse Soundbar is fantastic and can be easily connected with an optical cable also the Pulse allow full high resolution streaming directly from the soundbar.

Sound quality is very good. 

Next up are discrete looking on walls the Artison Masterpiece when used with a good subwoofer sound amazing and are much better sounding then the Artison Soundbar.

Then you can also go with cleverly designed audio speakers which look like framed artwork from Artcoustic.  www,artcoustic.com 

Just food for thought.

Here are the questions you need to ask yourself?

1: How important is sound quality for both music and movies?
2: Do you want a self powered easy to use concept such as a powered sound bar or possibly an inwall amplifier driving in wall or on wall loudspeakers?
3: Do you have or want to use a surround sound receiver do you want to create a full surround sound setup?
4: Are you going to install this yourself?
5: Do you have a budget?
6: Do you have the room and space for discrete on or in wall loudspeakers which will usually sound far better than any soundbar.
