#6 in Soundbar · Rated 4.3
Slim Atmos soundbar with built-in subs and 13 drivers
Bowers & Wilkins Panorama 3 is a compact Atmos soundbar featuring 13 drivers and a pair of built-in subwoofers, designed to deliver cinematic scale from a slender enclosure. The bar uses upward-firing Atmos drivers and phantom channels to create an expansive soundstage without multiple components. It supports Alexa for voice control and offers solid dialogue handling, space-efficient design, and a premium finish. While Panarama 3 is not the most budget option, its refined timbre, coherent imaging, and singular all-in-one form factor make it appealing for listeners who want a high-end, space-saving setup without adding separate rear speakers.
