NFT: TV Sound Bars

lpdcan28 : 11/23/2020 7:44 am
Getting a new tv. Anyone recommend a good sound bar for under $300? I have been looking at Bose, but there's does not come with a sub. Also looking at Polk and JBL. Thanks for any help!
my only advice is do not get a sound bar

Is a great system for 350. Comes with subwoofer, has Alexa and is easy to sync with Spotify for great music all day long. I love mine and I’m a bit on the picky side.
Just went through this myself. Did a ton of research...

RUN, dont walk to your closest Best Buy and get this Vizio soundbar. I was super hesitant, but Vizio is actually very good in the under $500 price range. This soundbar is unreal. Ive owned Polk, Klipsch, this one is the best I've heard. On sale for $299 which is great

I'm not the biggest audiophile but I got this one

Polk Audio MagniFi Mini Home Theater Compact Sound Bar

I like it because the size is really nice. I didn't want this big giant bar. It sounds really good to me.

I got a 65" LG E9 OLED TV last year. Paid a couple hundred extra for the E9 over C9 which was supposed to have better sound, but it's very underwhelming. I was looking at getting one of the Atmos soundbars since the TV has that functionality. Was going to pull the trigger on the JBL Bar 9.1 (on sale from $999 for $799 now).

If anyone reads this thread and has experience with that sound bar it would be great to hear your opinion of it.

I did actually look at the Polk mini system as well since it would fit nicely underneath the TV in one of the slots of my media table the TV is sitting on. Figured I should spend the extra cash and go for the Atmos system.
I was looking at the Sonos w/ Dolby Atmos

its a little pricey though, anyone with any reviews on it
Zvox soundbars are very good at $249

TVs can sit upon them and sound quality is very good. We have one in our bedroom and gave another to our daughter when we moved to Florida.

Recommended.

superspynyg - I have that type of room currently with a built-in, wired surround sound system but was wondering if a soundbar would work and I can take out the speakers. I assume you're saying the above because in a large room it wouldn't provide the best sound or make much of a difference?
