I was in the market for a sound bar to enhance my TCL television. I did not want to have a full theater set up with multiple speakers and an external sub woofer. This met my requirements at a really nice price point. Its easy to adjust, the remote is simple enough, and the virtual X is quite nice. I've watched all the Marvel movies with it and am quite impressed at the surround capability, very surprising for a one unit system. The ARC controls worked fine, I didn't have to do anything but plug it in and select the sound icon that came up on my television and it was working fine. I liked the night mode and dialogue clarity options as well. I viewed other options in this space, (for example the Yamaha with subwoofer). This one easily met my needs. What you aren't getting is a smart speaker, just good sound (the unit does allow bluetooth from a device.) Bottom line: price point and what you get make this worth it. Recommended. One thing to keep in mind, I noticed that occasionally the unit would not provide sound when switching from one streaming media service to another on my TV. This is an extremely rare occurrence, and from the research I've done it appears it is due to the television not the soundbar. I found that slowing down a bit solved the issue, I'd wait till I hear the menu selection click on the home screen. Another fix is to tell the TCL television to do a system restart from the menu. I've had this happen without a soundbar as well on a different TCL television. Information provided here in case it helps someone else considering this particular unit.

If you've followed any of my other soundbar reviews, you'll already know, but to put the story in a nutshell, I have over 30 years of home surround sound experience, and have been on a quest of sorts for the best stand alone (no separate subwoofer) soundbar in the $200-300 price range. The S216 is the fourth soundbar I've tried (the others include the Sony HTX8500, Yamaha 1080 and one by Polk Audio), so I'll be directly comparing this one to the other three. As I've stated in other reviews, you're never going to get true surround from a stand alone soundbar, but, if the electronics and design are good enough, you will find that a good soundbar will draw you even farther into a film without drawing your attention to the soundbar itself. The good: The S216 does a pretty good job of creating a decent size soundstage as long as you are within about 7-8 feet of the soundbar. When compared with the Sony and Yamaha, the Denon comes up about even when using a Dolby encoded movie. The soundstage for Midway (2019) is better than the Yamaha, but comes up a little short of the Sony, which is somewhat expected since the 8500 includes Dolby Atmos. That said, the Denon, by virtue of having far more adjustability to the bass level than the Sony, provides a better experience. Turning to Independence Day, which has a DTS encoded soundtrack - this is where the Denon really comes into its own. The soundstage really opened up and drew me into the whole experience. If there is a drawback, it's the same as both the Sony and Polk Audio soundbars, they can all be overwhelmed with even slightly too much bass added in. This was where the Yamaha outshined all three of the other competitors. The Denon has one place where it beats the others hands-down, and that's in Dialog Enhancement. The S216 has three different settings for this feature, and I seldom found use to go any higher than Medium - Denon has clearly done their homework in this area, and to date, is the way in the lead amongst the other soundbars I've bought. The not so good: Bass from the S16 could certainly be better. Although it does better than the 8500 due to more adjustability, and beats the Polk Audio hands-down, it comes up really short of Yamaha's 1080. I suspect that this is because the 1080 uses larger, down firing built in subwoofers, and likely with a bit more power driving them. The bad: I can't really call it bad, but the Dolby performance was somewhat disappointing. This is the only area where Sony's 8500 was the clear winner, and with so many 4K discs being encoded in Dolby Atmos, it may be its biggest downfall. Still, the far superior Dialog Enhancement found on the Denon goes a long way to making up for this. The ugly: I don't plan on using this soundbar for music playback, but am rating it for others in that respect so they can get an idea of this bar is what they are looking for. The S216, despite being made by one of the best audio manufacturers, comes up really short in music reproduction. The high end is far too restrained, no matter what settings are used, and the soundstage shrunk significantly from when it was put through its paces for movies. If you're looking for a multi-purpose soundbar, the Yamaha is clearly the better choice, although the 1080 has a huge drawback of its own in that it does not passthrough Dolby Vision. Positives: + Outstanding dialog enhancement + Good soundstage (excellent with DTS) + HDR10 and Dolby Vision passthrough + Great adjustability for bass levels Negatives: - Smaller soundstage than 8500 on more common Dolby Atmos discs - Not so great at music reproduction - Best surround effect is with soundbar 8 feet or closer All in all, the Denon is an excellent soundbar in its price range. Even with its limitations with Dolby encoded films, I'm using it over the Sony 8500 because of the Denon's vastly superior Dialog Enhancement and more adjustability for bass level. There may be one more review yet to come, as I'm considering trying the newer Sony 3.1 Dolby Atmos capable soundbar to see if it will offer the superior Dolby Atmos experience of the 8500, yet have Dialog Enhancement as good as that found on the S216. For now, the Denon will be my soundbar though. Thanks for reading and happy viewing!

I purchased both and had the opportunity to test them by jumping back and forth between them. I tested film trailers and streamed some songs. The short of it - the Denon DHT-S216 performed noticeably better. Denon DHT-S216 has a richer fuller sound. Has a better balance of low end bass, mid range and high end treble. Sounds more musical and warm. Fuller feeling bass. YAMAHA SR-B20A has more of a V-shape with punchy but hollow bass and sharp (a little harsh) treble. The mid range audio was suppressed and missing detail. Has a wider sound stage. Definitely the Denon felt more polished and produced a higher quality sound. Also, I don't know if it was just my Yamaha unit but when I had the bass turned up to the max, the subwoofer would create a very noticeable popping sound - not like they were blown but like they didn't process the low end frequency correctly. Likely a problem with my unit because this happened when I was watching movie trailers. Both were tested as the stand along sound bar. No external subwoofer was used or tested. Both used the Optical Audio cable for highest quality sound.

Where do I start, let’s see, how about the fact that the remote that comes with this is downright laughable. Let me explain: I own an 8 year old Visio soundbar which has served me well but wanted something with higher quality. Denon is not that in this case. Sound-wise it is better, but literally everything else sucks about it. The remote that comes with it is as light as a feather, my Visio remote is heavier. Another thing, the response times when turning on, switching different inputs, bass control, sound modes is ungodly slow. And controlling the volume is downright awful too, you literally have to aim directly at it and sometimes that doesn’t even work. Many times you have to hold the volume button in order to turn it up or down, there’s no quick up or down like my Visio had. Like I said, it’s laughable. Also, another issue with the remote, it doesn’t come with basic Bluetooth controls like pause, play, back, forward...nothing. Again my Visio had this function which was super useful. For the price point that Denon is asking I cannot recommend this soundbar to anyone. I’m utterly surprised that Denon thought this was the quality they intended for this soundbar...that’s why I rate it 1 star. From a company like this I expected so much more.
