Q: Will this be good for a Sennheiser ambeo Soundbar or is too much power that wouldn't be used? Can the Sennheiser soundbar adequately use its power?

A: I will advise you ask SVS because they will consider both layout and cubic feet of space. I myself asked and because of my 5000cubic feet and vaulted ceiling they recommended my pairing with the pb16 ultra. It really adds a new dimension to films as now my chairs and floor literally shake horror movies and action movies are much more impactful now. A tip if someone is going to get this set up Set your sub to -30hz before calibration (seinheiser advised) or else your subs will be underpowered after mic calibration. I've included a photo just to show I do indeed have this setup and have experience to speak on it

Q: Is there anyway to connect these with banana plugs ?

A: No! Get a RCA LFE sub cable or XLR cables to connect the sub.

    SB16 Ultra is worth every penny!

    This sub replaced a dual sub setup. I am very happy with my purchase!! Nice, clean powerful bass! Eventually, I will purchase another SB16 Ultra to run a dual sub setup!

    Bad Boy!

    Make no mistake, SVS Ultra subwoofers are high priced, but they are worth every penny. The performance between movies and music is simply breathtaking. I pay for clean, tight bass and that is exactly what the SB16-Ultra delivers. The fact that you have options to the settings via remote, App or front panel is just crazy. I started with 1 and was so impressed that I ordered a 2nd for a dual setup. If you are in the market for a subwoofer that will amaze you with performance, don't hesitate to look at the SB16-Ultra, you'll be more than satisfied.

    Audiophile grade product

    I’ve had a Velodyne FSR 15 and a Sunfire Signature. This one surpasses both of those in not only visceral impact but more importantly, detail. This sub will resolve more of your music and movies then you thought was there. But, it is a gentleman; it will not speak when there is nothing to say. It will not make bad recordings sound good; they will sound as recorded: bad. Good recordings, however will sound amazing. Be prepared to pull out all your favorite music and play it again, for the first time. And movies.... well it will rock your world. In my modest 2200 cubic foot living room, it ripples through the floor with thunderous impact. When ever I demo this thing with an action movie friends and family just laugh at the ridiculous detail and slam this thing delivers. Oh and it’s durable. It will shut off before any damage happens when driven to extremes. I know; I’ve done it. This thing is bulletproof. The SVS support team is just icing on the cake. These guys are just as crazy about audio gear as you are. Just buy it now and beg for forgiveness later.
