Samsung HW-S800B vs Sony BRAVIA Theater Bar 6

Despite being a few years older, the Samsung is a better choice when it comes to almost every aspect. It's better built, with a more balanced default frequency response, a wider stereo soundstage, a better dynamics performance, and a wider variety of sound enhancement options.
