Canton DM 75 Soundbar - Virtual Surround System 2.1 - Black Glass

Looking for a soundbar that we could tuck under the TV resulted in us buying the Canton DM75 as it had been well reviewed elsewhere. We are well pleased with the difference it has made. Our Samsung TV is great on pictures but the sound lets it down. You know the Canton is there, Its wider than our TV! After reading the manual set up was easy (once we had access to the back of our Virgin box, TV and Blueray player). Immediately the sound is far more detailed, the bass has punch (but not boomy), vocals are clear (it really is the actors that mumble their lines), and music is nicely presented. The remote is simple to use. Sound quality - 5 stars; the quality of the drivers used is apparent Value for money - It is a bit pricey, hence 4 stars not 5. It is quite competitively priced to similar soundbars of this quality. Amazon asked us to rate for 'Sheerness'. What the hell is, 'Sheerness'? No explanation on the web page so I had to look it up elsewhere. Sheer could mean how thin something is. If this is what Amazon want then this is rather subjective. For the purpose of the Amazon rating I am going to interpret this as the height from the top surface to surface the Canton stands on. We are prepared to accept the Canton's 'sheerness' as the design requires this to house the speakers, so 5 is the score from us.

Excellent upgrade from my previous Sonos setup (playbar, sub, and play 1's). The sound is more intelligent, so you find you're not having to turn the sound up or down depending what's going on on the tv. Good integration with TV for remote control, and a really good form factor. Looks much more integrated and tidy than a soundbar that sits in front of the tv. Still keep a Play5 in the room for music, but much happier having a dedicated solution for TV sound.

Being slightly hard of hearing, thought this system would be an improvement on my existing Panasonic sound bar. To be honest, feel a bit disappointed, as there seems little improvement, considering it was twice the price and does not have the features of the sound bar, Feel the bass is too boomy even with it turned down to max and treble turned up to max. A couple of times the remote locked out and had to reboot, to get it to work. There is no denying the quality and delivery. 5 stars.

Good quality, great sound quality. Seems louder when there’s music playing, which can be a little annoying

Great sound

Best thing we ever bought - sound quality excellent.

Absolutely brilliant piece of kit. The sound gets better with use. Lovely deep bass and very clear treble. Fantastic for both films and music. Like I said once the speakers have burnt in the canton comes in to its own. Very very pleased with mine oh and the quality is outstanding.

Could not get the unit to work....until I realised that you have to tum the units volume control way past 15 (99max). By which time I had already booked a return! Only a day in and getting used to it. Great clear sound after playing with the bass and treble.
