The soundbar market is booming and now Monitor Audio has joined the fray. It takes guts to launch a £1000 soundbar, especially when you've never made one before, but there's no doubt Monitor Audio has succeeded. The ASB-2 is a fantastic soundbar with real star quality.

Make sure to do your measurements before buying though. It doesn't take up as much space as a load of speakers, but this still isn't a small soundbar. It certainly wouldn't sit discreetly in front of your TV. In practice, this is likely to live on a shelf below your TV, or wall-mounted on a bracket.

Yes, £1000 is expensive for a soundbar. Yes, you could get a decent 5.1 surround set-up for the same money. But soundbars are designed for people who don't have the space. If you're one of those people, and your budget can stretch this far, the Monitor Audio ASB-2 is an excellent investment.

That's why it wins a well deserved Best Buy in our 2013 Awards.
