Rtings 4 best small soundbars: https://www.rtings.com/soundbar/r...type/small
Rtings Beam Gen 2 review: https://www.rtings.com/soundbar/r...beam-gen-2
Rtings AMBEO Mini review: https://www.rtings.com/soundbar/r...ndbar-mini

Edit: The more I looked into this bar, the more I'm confident this is not a good deal at all. Sonos Beam Gen 2 beats it in every single category in rtings review. Beam has a dedicated center channel for clear dialogue in shows, this bar does not. So dialogue is gonna get mixed into the stereo speakers. And advertising it as 7.1.4 "virtual" is really shady marketing. Even though this bar technically has woofers, its bass isn't any better than Sonos Beam. Both bars are on sale for $400 new, why would you buy an inferior product over Sonos Beam when it costs the same?

A soundbar is tech/algorithm based system but you're trying to define it as a speaker based system.
It's an apples n oranges comparison.
These are for people that prioritize convenience/aesthetics, you do sacrifice quality though.
Not sure a garage setting is what this was designed for but if it works for you, that's all that matters.
The content will not take advantage of its performance capabilities.
Dirac wouldn't help either especially since the Dirac offered on that Klipsch will not offer sub correction/integration.
Soundbars can still benefit from subwoofers as content can pass at crossover frequency to the subwoofer. By adding a subwoofer a systems max SPL and distortion will be improved greatly as amplifier power no longer needs to be allocated to drive bass frequencies on the soundbar.
DIRAC offered by Klipsch will benefit just being generally a better room correction out of the box than most room correction software's from manufactures. Dirac not only does conventional room EQ correction and adjusts to conventional room curves, but it handles mixed-phase filtering to improve room audibility.
Secondly Klipsch does confirm that like all DIRAC suite products. It comes w/ Dirac Limited bandwidth out of the box to EQ down to 500hz. After that there is the option to purchase add-ons like DIRAC Live Bass Control turning it from limited response to full range bandwidth since it will be compatible w/ 3rd party subwoofer integration

Beam 2 Max SPL is 88.8 dB SPL (This is fine but not loud enough for movies typically, will need subwoofer to achieve higher peak SPL)
Ambeo Max SPL 94.7 dB SPL (About 2x louder at peak dynamic range, also not crazy loud but starting to be on the side of loud enough for movies )
Ambeo bar response is also a lot more linear *(objectively more ideal) and the Beam 2 has a cutoff at 16khz while the Sennheiser gets full range extension all the way to 20khz

EDIT: I can see an argument for this bar if you buy it strictly for music in a bigger area than a bedroom.
