Why it's our Upgrade pick

Real 5.1: a three-channel bar, a wired subwoofer and two rear speakers driven by a small wireless amplifier, 600 W in total.
Digit found the surround channels clearly separated, with sounds moving convincingly from back to front and no audible lag from the wireless rears.
Around ₹23,000, about ₹12,000 below its ₹34,990 MRP, and on sale since 2021, so its record is long.

Watch out: Dolby Digital only, HDMI ARC rather than eARC, and the ports sit on the subwoofer. Digit found dialogue a little soft, and some owners report the rear speakers dropping their link until reset.
