TTQ B4U Posted January 2, 2016 Report Share Posted January 2, 2016 Looking for a simple sound bar and sub setup. Not looking for anything crazy,just something thats better then the tv speakers. Tons of options and I'm not saying it's "the one" but I bought a friend of mine a Samsung (yes Samsung) one that has perfect sound for his famiy room for Christmas. Very hard hitting wireless sub and a 48" long sound bar which fit perfect just in front of his 55" LED. Not too big at all. Like you he wanted much better sound and in a simple family room the sub behind the TV really hits nice and makes everything sound better. Kids and wife were happy with it too. HHGreg had it for like $260. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRTurbo04 Posted January 2, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2016 Looking for something similar but for much cheaper lol. Will be dropping coin on a full surround sound in the man cave, this not looking to spend a bunch for this tv since it wont be used for long or often.

Honestly and don't laugh.....you need to check this out: http://www.parts-express.com/51-home-theater-bundle-12-powered-subwoofer--300-696 I have one in our basement for the kids and it's amazing. I'm not joking. I have some extremely high end tastes in music fidelity and audio upstairs and in our theater in the lower level and while this isn't Paradigm/McIntosh grade it's amazing. Don't let the pricing fool you. I think 2-3 others from CR can chime in as they own this same set up. I LOL'd when I bought it on a whim and hooked it up. Kids use it every day for movies, TV, gaming in their room in the lower level. Even I will watch movies or football in their vs the larger room. I'm actually buying more from them for our new house that should be ready next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRTurbo04 Posted January 2, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2016 It does look like a nice setup. If i wasnt building anotherm soon i would probably get that based off the recommendation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbs3000 Posted January 3, 2016 Report Share Posted January 3, 2016 We have a vizio 2.1 set up. I believe it's 38". They sell just the bar for about 100 or bar and sub for 150. I'd say it's well worth it. Sounds great, I like the styling and controls. Allows up to 6 devices. Worked right out of the box with our direct TV remote. We don't even use the wireless sub much because the bar provides clear sound at every volume. Our tv speakers were garbage, that's why we got it, and while we have had home theatres and what not I just couldn't justify spending more then $200 on a living room tv that's running sports, cartoons and movies 24/7.

turbospec29 Posted January 3, 2016 Report Share Posted January 3, 2016 You should get a stackable soundbar. They cost 3x as much and don't work as well but the 2 feet of space you save is worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be clear, im aware of the nice NEW units out there im looking for a used CHEAPish bar that maybe some one doesnt use anymore adn wants to sell off.

Chief8one Posted April 22, 2016 Report Share Posted April 22, 2016 bump.. I'm looking for a bar for my cave.. not a big room but 65in tv.... woofer is a must. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrhobbz Posted April 22, 2016 Report Share Posted April 22, 2016 +1. Love mine. Another +1 on the vizio. I was a cheap ass and bought it without the sub because it was on sale at walmart for $98. It does however have the port for the sub (you can buy them both separately). My living room has cathedral ceilings and even without the sub it sounds pretty damn good for the money (the virtual surround sound works pretty well too) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zx2guy19 Posted April 25, 2016 Report Share Posted April 25, 2016 I'd sell my vizio sound bar. It has a wireless sub, only thing is it's missing the power cord. I lost it moving 2 years ago and never replaced it, it's been sitting for 2 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
