JBL Link bar scheduled to ship Jan 19..will it actually happen this time?

by spano45

Ever since I/O I've had my eye on this bad boy. It seems to be a perfect solution for my situation. I stream everything so we've got that covered. Voice switching for HDMI inputs, the wife will enjoy this (less juggling remotes). Acts I dependently as a Google home but with much better sound (don't have a Max). My tower speakers and receiver don't fit well and stand out in our living room so the sound bar is a compact solution.

It's a paper tiger and the lack of info/coverage since I/O has me worried. Anyone else planning on getting one or is as excited as me?

TLDR - Link bar seems awesome, is it and will it launch? Are you planning to get one?

Same situation here with need for a simpler sound system. I saw the demo first hand at I/O, was impressed and have been waiting since ever. I would certainly wait for the device reviews and may be even one price drop. I let go off deals on Bose and Sonos soundbars as I want to solve multiple issues here with the HDMI switcher

Im thinking about picking one up if and when it releases. But I'm gonna wait for reviews first.

I'm waiting for it too. Except in the UK where there isn't even a product page or a way to pre order.

I've been waiting (way too long) to see how this product turns out. Although if it does well Google will probably make their own #madebygoogle one. So a bit wary of jumping on this...
