Klipsch Cinema 1200 and 800 Atmos Soundbars Now Available
Klipsch has released its beefier Dolby Atmos soundbars. The Klipsch Cinema 1200 and Cinema 800 promise a "major upgrade to TV sound", streaming smarts and real wood cabinets.
Following the availability of its Cinema 400 and 600 soundbars, announced last year, Klipsch's big guns can also now be found in stores.
Naturally, both the Cinema 1200 and 800 soundbars feature horn-loaded technology drawn from the company's acclaimed Reference speakers. 
Additionally, they come partnered with subwoofers for added low-end reinforcement. Also, next-gen HDMI eARC, 8K passthrough and support for Dolby Vision HDR all have their boxes ticked.
According to Klipsch, the flagship Cinema 1200 is good for 120 watts. Furthermore, you get all you need for Dolby Atmos 5.1.4 (it will decode 7.1.4 Dolby Atmos) in the box thanks to the soundbar's upward-firing Atmos speakers, a 12-inch wireless subwoofer and a pair of wireless surround modules (above).
Meanwhile, the 48-inch Cinema 800 could be just the thing if you don't quite have the room and/ or budget for the 1200.
The Klipsch Cinema 800 serves up 3.1 sound (it also decodes 7.1.4 Dolby Atmos like its larger sibling) and comes with a 10-inch wireless subwoofer.
Also, you have the option to add the Klipsch Surround 3 wireless surround speakers (£265/ €299 extra) for an even more immersive surround sound experience.
Both models are Bluetooth-equipped and sport up-to-date streaming smarts with Alexa, Google Assistant, and Spotify Connect on board. That little lot should satisfy most people's requirements for multi-room streaming, as well as impactful audio for gaming and movies.
The 54-inch Cinema 1200 and 800 are available from August for £1,449/ €1,499 and £899/ €999 respectively.
The Klipsch Cinema 600 (£549/ €599) and 400 (£379/ €399) Sound Bars are available now.

applause awards
Each time StereoNET reviews a product, it is considered for an Applause Award. Winning one marks it out as a design of great quality and distinction – a special product in its class, on the grounds of either performance, value for money, or usually both.
Applause Awards are personally issued by StereoNET’s global Editor-in-Chief, David Price – who has over three decades of experience reviewing hi-fi products at the highest level – after consulting with our senior editorial team. They are not automatically given with all reviews, nor can manufacturers purchase them.
The StereoNET editorial team includes some of the world’s most experienced and respected hi-fi journalists with a vast wealth of knowledge. Some have edited popular English language hi-fi magazines, and others have been senior contributors to famous audio journals stretching back to the late 1970s. And we also employ professional IT and home theatre specialists who work at the cutting edge of today’s technology.
We believe that no other online hi-fi and home cinema resource offers such expert knowledge, so when StereoNET gives an Applause Award, it is a trustworthy hallmark of quality. Receiving such an award is the prerequisite to becoming eligible for our annual Product of the Year awards, awarded only to the finest designs in their respective categories. Buyers of hi-fi, home cinema, and headphones can be sure that a StereoNET Applause Award winner is worthy of your most serious attention.
