‘The audio equivalent of a highbrow hardback book on a coffee table’ — the Focal Mu-so Hekla wowed me with gorgeous industrial design and powerful immersive Dolby Atmos sound… just don’t call it ‘a soundbar’

Big box, big sound, big price tag. The Focal Mu-so Hekla may not be the complete article, but it’s the most complete spatial audio one-box solution you can currently buy — at any price.
Reasons to buy
+Big, detailed, full-range sound with an appreciable ‘spatial’ effect
+Great control app
+Impressive build and finish
Reasons to avoid
-Overplays its low-frequency hand on occasion
-Can't switch off spatial audio algorithms entirely
-Better Bluetooth compatibility would be nice
