To recap
The LG SK10Y is a big but stylish soundbar that delivers an equally big soundstage with Dolby Atmos, but suffers from being rather front-heavy. However, there’s the option of wireless rear speakers for those seeking greater immersion, and the Meridian technology is a nice addition. The price is competitive, but the lack of DTS:X support puts the SK10Y at a disadvantage.
