SeekerLG S80QY
The LG S80QY is very good for mixed usage. It has a pretty neutral sound out-of-the-box, with a dedicated subwoofer that adds boom in the bass range. Voices and lead instruments in music and TV shows are pretty clearly reproduced, though higher-pitched sounds get nudged towards the back of the mix due to the dip in the treble. You can customize its sound to your liking, though. There's also Dolby Atmos support, and it can playback surround sound formats like Dolby Digital and DTS, though it has to downmix it into stereo to play it.

At first glance, LG’s S80QY doesn’t appear to offer anything in terms of features or specs that would make it stand out from the competition. But its up-firing center speaker – a unique feature – turns out to be a solid innovation, and one that does differentiate it from other soundbar systems.
