I currently took my Canton DM55 back to richer sounds after only owning the Soundbase for only 5 months. Lightsaber fights are exhilarating, giving out a fierce crackle when the blades clash, but it doesn’t turn spiky when you crank up the volume.

I've contacted Canton and they asked me to check what firmware the DM50 is (with unit in standby, hold the mute button down for 5 secs). Everything is tested by our dedicated team of in-house reviewers in our custom-built test rooms in London, Reading and Bath. This new version throws in some fresh features and improved sound quality, all of which is likely to consolidate the German brand’s place at the top of the soundbase tree.I have a Canton dm75 and really rate it but do tend to find the speech is a little dull and the more the volumes increased all the background noise is increased too.

The soundbase option seems to be becoming an increasingly popular choice, despite being a relative newcomer in the TV audio market. This is a fully functioned replacement remote control and is designed to perform all button operations of the original remote supplied with the CANTON DM 55 (excluding reprogrammable buttons). Connections on the DM55 remain the same as before: you get two digital inputs (optical and coaxial), a pair of RCA analogue inputs, and a subwoofer output.br>
Bluetooth music streaming
As well as making your TV sound great, the Canton DM 55 also offers easy Bluetooth music streaming. Another minor bum note is Surround mode, which does little to enhance your enjoyment, aside from a gentle widening of the soundstage.
