CES 2017

Super-versatile DTS Play-fi wireless connectivity is a highlight of one of MartinLogan's two new soundbars.

Both are 5.1 models with nine 2.5-inch full range drivers, wireless subs, and the big advantage of Anthem Room Correction. Both can be mounted on the wall above or below the screen, or on a table. The differences between the Cadence ($1299) and Verse ($999) are Play-fi and HDMI connectivity.

Sister brand Paradigm showed two similarly equipped soundbars with similar pricing. Among other differences, MartinLogan uses fabric grilles, while Paradigm prefers perforated metal.
