The Aperion Signature SLIMstage30 costs more than most sound bar home theater systems and lacks HDMI connectivity, but it's one of the few sound bars that put out enough bass without a sub.

That being said, the SLIMstage30 has some perks that put it ahead of competitors. It's one of the few sound bars that doesn't necessarily need a subwoofer, as it puts out an adequate (although not overwhelming) amount of bass on its own. It also does a decent job with standard two-channel music, which most sound bars just can't handle convincingly. In all, most mainstream buyers will probably be better off with less-expensive options, such as the Samsung HW-C450 and the JVC TH-BA1, but the SLIMstage30 is worth considering if you don't want to deal with a subwoofer or expect to listen to a lot of music on your sound bar.
