Sound Bars

[zed]

anyone own a sound bar? i'm thinking of buying one in the $300-$400 range, got any advice?

I have a Polk Audio one. I liked it....was great if you can't do the 5.1 or 7.1 wireless in your room. Great sound broadcast....but you really have to pay for the quality ones to get something decent. Go with a good brand. Lemme know if you wanna buy mine....it's sitting in my basement - used for a year. Can't sell the subwoofer with it but I'll give you a great deal!

working for shaw i see a ton of audio systems. I have see a few sound bars. I haven't heard the polk one but i'm sure its fantastic as well.

 

Having said that, the one I have heard that was absolutely outstanding was the Bose sound bar. I have never been a huge fan of bose stuff but when it comes to a single speaker it does a great job of mimicking a 5 speaker surround.

Also if you buy something at visions you have 14 days to return it or 30 days for a exchange. So buy one take it home listen to it and then if it doesn't do what you want bring it back and get another. And then repeat till your satisfied.

 

Remember you get what you pay for, so a cheap sound bar will keep you a cheap sound.

 

hope that helped a bit
