JBL Bar 1300XMK2 vs Cinema SB595

The JBL Bar 1300XMK2 is a much more premium alternative to the JBL Cinema SB595. The SB595 is a simpler 3.1.2 setup that offers you a bar and sub, while the 1300XMK2 has an 11.1.4 channel configuration that also has dedicated rear satellites. The 1300XMK2 is unquestionably the better soundbar, but it also costs a lot more and takes up more space. If you're looking for a simple and affordable way to improve on the sound of your TV speakers, the SB595 does the job, with support for Dolby Digital and Atmos, as well as a few different sound modes. But the 1300XMK2 adds DTS support and a companion app that lets you dial in the sound you prefer via EQ.
