Sound bars
« on: 27 December 2012, 09:42 »
Not interested in a full system as the layout of our living room is not favourable and I hate wires being all over the place

So my question is, does anyone have one and if so what brand do yo you and your thoughts  :smiley:

There seems to be a large variety in price  :undecided:

Cheaper on Amazon

Looks a tidy bit of kit.  Think I may pop to somwhere like Curry's and hear them in action  :undecided:

I was looking at this one although something with bluetooth or wireless would be ideal as my iPhone isnt suitable for the supplied connectors

Bose sound bar is excellent, one wire to your tv and a power lead.
Great sound and build quality, as you would expect from bose
At around £1200 though you need deep pockets :grin:

I'm trying to persuade my dad to buy a cheap one for his lounge as the sound on his Philips television is absolutely awful. 

It's worth checking out the classifieds section on avforums.com for some second hand bargains.  I managed to bag a Pioneer amp, Yamaha sub and Tannoy speakers for under £200.  I bet someone will be selling a soundbar at a reasonable price  :smiley:
