Oh dear, have they dropped a Klanger?
are you planning a review?Obviously, judging by the absence of posts, there has been a lack of interest in the Klang bar 5mr, and subwoofer, combination.

The few reviews I have found online are highly favourable of it's sound quality.
Currently on sale at reduced prices, I have made an impulse buy, and bought a new soundbar, and subwoofer for £1349.
Should arrive on Thursday.
I hope to post my thoughts on the soundbar, and subwoofer.are you planning a review?
sounds impressive, guess as always with these things the volume is at the cheaper end of the market, assume with cost of sub its pushing 2k?Apologies in advance for a fairly lengthy post.
The soundbar, and subwoofer set were delivered this morning.
After unpacking:
The included accessories are:
Two sets of mains cables for the bar, and subwoofer.
In each set, one cable is terminated in a UK plug, and the other an European plug.
An HDMI cable.
A remote control with 2 Lithium CR2032 batteries pre-installed.
A User Manual in various languages including English.
The external finish of the soundbar is impressive.
The cut-out for the various sockets is wide with other controls covered by a removable back plate.
The gap between the HDMI sockets is not cramped.
On top of the soundbar are several push buttons for designated functions.
On the top is also an indicator light which changes colour according to an input such as DTS, Dolby Atmos.
On the front is a small display which indicates an input.
The subwoofer appears well built, and is circular with the mains input socket in a cut-out in the base. The drivers are arranged around the sides.
The soundbar, and the subwoofer are paired by Loewe prior to shipment.
Out of the box, the initial impression of the sound quality is one of clarity, particularly with regard to dialogue.
The end firing speakers in the soundbar provide width to the soundstage, and the upward firing speakers provide a good impression of height.
With a 4K player connected to an HDMI socket in the soundbar, on brief tests, no problems were encountered in decoding DTS, DTS X, and Dolby Atmos.
Sound quality may well improve as the drive units burn in.
Up to now, out of the Harman Kardon Citation Multibeam 1100, the B & W Panorama 3, and the Canton Smart Soundbar 10 with the Smart 8 Sub, my favourite has been the Canton combination.
Based on my initial impressions, the Loewe combination is superior to the Canton.
It is a pity that the Loewe Klang Bar 5mr is so under appreciated.
The normal price of the soundbar + subwoofer is £1759.sounds impressive, guess as always with these things the volume is at the cheaper end of the market, assume with cost of sub its pushing 2k?
