l would like to share my experience after comparing and testing two soundbars – LG SN11RG vs Klipsch Cinema 400. The LG SN11RG was rated 7.5, while the Klipsch Cinema 400 has a rating 4.6.

These rivals can be compared in terms of power, 770 (overall) versus 400 (overall) according to devices. The built-in subwoofer is not implemented in any of these models. An external subwoofer connects to the SN11RG via wireless, but Cinema 400 has wired connection type.
