Neither LG SJ9 nor Yamaha YAS-207 were recommended by experts this month

On 5 Mar 2024 (23 days ago) we went through 97 Sound Bar expert endorsements , however neither LG SJ9 nor Yamaha YAS-207 were included in any of those recommendations. Since neither Sound Bar received a single endorsement, as far as expert recommendations go, it's technically a tie. We do, however, recommend taking a look at Sonos Beam Gen 2 or other critically acclaimed Sound Bars of this month.

For reference, Sonos Beam Gen 2 received 8 endorsements this month, from Rtings.com (28 Feb 2024), TechRadar (28 Feb 2024) PCMag (4 Dec 2023) and 5 others.
