The good: The SpeakerCraft CS3 has an excellent pedestal-style sound bar design, with a refined look that doesn't call attention to itself. Sound quality is outstanding for a pedestal sound bar, even with two-channel music. Its built-in Bluetooth is also a huge plus, making it easy to wirelessly stream music from many tablets and smartphones.
The bad: It's expensive, especially when there are solid sound bars available for half the price. There's also no front-panel display, so you don't get any visual feedback when adjusting the volume. And the included remote is cheap-feeling for a pricey product.
The bottom line: The SpeakerCraft CS3 is a handsome, excellent-sounding sound bar that's well worth its lofty price.
