Hope everyone having a Good Day

 

Hello

Just wanted to share some first impression of my new soundbar..the Ray.

I was lucky to get a good deal on a brand new Ray&Sub Mini($620) 

For the one that have not read my topics&posts i had to leave my home and “move” to my 90yo granny…she do not hear so well. I’ve tried to make her hear the TV with a Playbase&Sub Mini and it works…sort of. The volume is above 50% for her to hear something,well you get the idea.

I have my own bedroom in the secound floor and grannys bedroom is across the hall. So i have orderd a 43” LG-smart-TV(not here yet) Plan to watch “my own choosen” programs and of course i need some upgrades in soundperformance,and i choose the Ray. I’m very fond of the Ikea Symfonisk Book Shielf-speakers(Ikea BS Red.anm) so they will be my surrounds. The room is not big,and as i write this the Ray is playing in background i think i don’t need the Sub Mini. 
The room is perhaps 2.5x4meters and only half the room is full roof-height and the rest is dropping.

The bass is the most noticable and i can tell/confirm it’s a ported design. And the higher freq are defiently present here…the mid’s is probobly the Ray’s weekest point…as the freq respons from Youtuber PeterPee shows in his rewiew.

The Ray is a nicelooking soundbar and it’s not heavy. I will continue listen to it and let the drivers soften up a bit.But for now i think the Sub Mini will not be coming to this system even granny probobly won’t hear anything when i’ll be cranking up the volume,she probobly will feel it if i had the Sub Mini connected😉

 

Have a Nice Day🙏

If your new tv will offer Atmos sources, I would have chosen the Beam2 instead of the Ray. In my opinion Atmos delivers a more detailed sound especially with much more clear voices.

Yes,i know…but this was not a priority for me. I just want a little better sound from the TV than it’s buidt-in speakers. I’m not planning on be at grannys place for a very long time…perhaps a year,maybe less. And i got the Beam Gen2 in my bedroom at my own place with a bow&arrow-era Panasonic Plastma-TV so…you get the picture what i will do in the future. And i was not willing to spend a ton of money just to get better sound,so i think i did well on a budget.

I have not been into Sonos/Sound in home for a long time…but the soundbar that have impressed me most is the Playbase. It’s fantastic and i hardly hear anybody talks bout it.The Sub Mini i got in the Ray-bundle is now in my home with the Playbase/Ikea BS….works Great👍
