The JBL Cinema SB510 is 37.4 inches long. As long as your TV isn't too small, a longer soundbar is preferable because it positions its internal speakers further apart, improving sound separation and creating a more immersive spatial effect. The SB510 features four speakers in total: two at each end, a center channel, and a built-in subwoofer. The dedicated center channel focuses on vocals and dialogue, providing superior clarity compared to 2.0-channel soundbars or standard stereo TV speakers.
In addition, the SB510 includes a built-in subwoofer. While an internal subwoofer doesn't have the power or physical space to produce room-shaking bass, having a driver specifically for low frequencies is a significant upgrade over having no subwoofer at all. In certain environments, such as a bedroom, an external subwoofer might be too powerful, potentially disturbing others who are sleeping. A soundbar with an integrated subwoofer delivers noticeable bass enhancement without being disruptive.
This soundbar represents a major audio upgrade over most built-in TV speakers. While high-end speaker systems can cost thousands of dollars, the audiophile market is subject to diminishing returns. To get a soundbar setup that sounds noticeably better than the Cinema SB510, you would likely need to spend significantly more.
