What products you'd like to see WiiM produce?

On topic: What about a compact soundbar for use with a TV panel @WiiM Team?

What's WiiM's value-add in the soundbar space? If I were on their Product Marketing team, I would want to understand the reason my 'special sauce' should be packaged in what's now a commodity aimed at upgrading TV speakers.

It could be a genius maneuver into a new bigger market space, but then my developer partnership with LG becomes as an important factor as how WiiM soundbars do great things (technically speaking) vs. today's status quo. DSP tricks in subwoofer integration might be all it takes, but it would certainly necessitate ambitious new versions of the WiiM Home app(s) for TV platforms. It would be very cool to have the WiiM app in control of the HDMI passthrough to a TV with on-screen menu and overlay capabilities, etc.

Well, given the WiiMs can decode Dolby, that means a WiiM Soundbar could handle front and center channels, or even front, center, and LFE if it included a sub. Wirelessly. With RoomFit correction.
