Best soundbar for your TV....what, how much and why do you like it?


Booming nice clear sound..........all over

I run a Polk Audio wireless soundbar on my primary TV. Soundbar plus Bluetooth sub-woofer. I paid around $300 on-sale about five years ago and its still 'rockin. The newer stuff has much more features and power- I believe the high end Polk system is around 400 watts with 5.1 and around $900 retail.

I would wait till the Holidays as deep discounting is assured.

Check audio magazines or consumer reviews to focus on what you desire, then pounce when price is right.

If you want ear-bleed volume, surround go with a component audio system though.

I bought a high end soundbar for my TV last year, listened to it for 15 minutes and returned it the next day. Then I bought a Yamaha surround sound system from Visions that was on sale 1,000 X's better.

My advise is to find a great deal on a surround sound system. Sound bars are barely better than TV Speakers IMO

I purchased a Bose system about five years ago. It consists of a sound bar, a separate bass speaker, and an amp, and the sound is better than most surround sound systems that I have heard. The system actually adjusts to the room .I paid around $1500 at the time, and I don't regret my purchase.

Have a look at Sonos.

Sonos.

But don't forget the sub - it's absolutely essential.

The ease of use, functionality (everything is controlled from an app on your smartphone), clarity - it's all excellent.

Radio, streaming, home theater, music.

We use ours every single day, simply because it's so easy to use and very convenient.

You'll pay for it, but for me - it was worth it.

You can easily add play speakers later if you want the full surround sound experience.

Don't forget about the sub...
