I currently have the Cinebar One connected to my Mac Mini via the USB port and previously via Bluetooth to a FireTV Cube, as well as via the line input (which in turn was connected to the monitor). The Cinebar just fits under the monitor and stands on the base of the monitor and doesn't take up much space: that's really great! The connection options (1 x HDMI, 1 x optical S/PDIF, 1 x LineIn, 1 x mini-USB, Bluetooth) are absolutely sufficient for my needs, but I would have liked one more HDMI connection. However, I had to set up the Bluetooth connection with my Amazon FireTV Cube every time. That is quite annoying. Unfortunately, I can't say whether this is due to the FireTV Cube or the Teufel Cinebar. If no sound is transmitted to the Cinebar, it switches to "twilight mode" after a few minutes, which you can cancel by pressing the corresponding button for the connection type on the remote control, only then does it emit sound again. Again annoying and occurs with all connection types I tested. I would also be grateful for any tops on how to avoid this..... Unfortunately, apart from a small LED, you can't see any other status information, which could have been solved better with a display.Let's get to the most important thing, the sound: and it's really good. Especially in combination with the wirelessly connected subwoofer, this little thing produces a great sound that is very precise and balanced. However, I would have hoped for the spatial (at least stereo) effect to be a bit stronger, but this is certainly due to the small size. All in all, I am satisfied and the price/performance ratio is reasonable.
