Sound bar for TV?
Need a decent sound bar for our TV. Anything that has ok sound without having to hookup multiple speakers. Low profile would help based on our setup but I suppose we could always elevate the TV on a box.
Thoughts? |

My fiancee and myself are looking for one of these too. I think we are sold on a Bose we've seen at Best Buy. However, I too would appreciate the planet's feedback. |

We make decent money.
It's $400. She wants it more than I do. But happy wife, blah blah blah. And she bought $1000 worth of stuff for her work just now. So we plan on using her points/money from that towards the sound bar. |

Please don't buy Bose. Buying Bose is like buying Monster cables or Beats by Dre headphones. You're paying for marketing, not product. Not that Bose produces crap, but you can get the same quality at a significantly lower price. I wish I could give you specific soundbar recommendations, but I don't know much about them as I can't for the life of me figure out why someone would choose to go that route.

my in-laws have the bose soundbar with the wireless sub and it sounds pretty good, im more of a multi speaker surround kinda guy myself
i paid about two-thirds the price of the bose for my 5.1 speakers and they blow it away if it's a space issue i would still go multi speaker with something tiny like bose acoustimass |

Kind of in no man's land, BOSE is smoke and mirrors to mask subpar sound by projecting false depth, but then that's kind of a sound bar's job. I'm confident that in the long run your be much happier with nicely placed bookshelves and a modest subwoofer, even bluetooth models. But I'm equally confident you're convinced that the unobtrusive nature of a sound bar trumps sound quality.
I'd suggest looking at the Vizio and Yamaha models [that have bluetooth subs you can tuck away anywhere] before pulling the trigger on the BOSE. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...le-t-5-ag-2-20 http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...le-t-5-ag-2-20

We looked at soundbars but we went with this little onkyo 2.1 setup instead. It does have the two speakers but works nice for our setup. The sub is wireless.
