Harman Kardon Sabre SB 35 review

Harman Kardon's Sabre SB35 offers an extremely low-profile design and a gorgeous form factor, but unfortunately, its beauty is mostly skin deep.

Harman Kardon Sabre SB 35

A beast of a soundsystem that's truly cinematic

"As an audio device, the Harman Kardon SABRE SB35 is a great piece of kit. The bar itself packs four built-in speakers that boast 100 watts of audio power, and has a number of inbuilt audio options to help you fine-tune the system for your room. For...
