Sound Bar Speakers System

I'm thinking of buying one with a sub-woofer. I'm not into the high tech, 6 plus speakers, high end receiver stuff anymore...been there, done that. I'm in a situation where I want the best possible sound with as little clutter in my living room as possible. How good is the virtual surround sound technology these days? Can you give me links to some good sound bar systems?

Thank you.

Go figure! lol
I have a PS3 and an LCD HDTV also. I will be watching plenty of Blu Ray movies. Can sound bars come close to replicating true Dolby-HD?

You cannot use the un-compressed BlueRay sound with a sound bar - None of them accept HDMI or 6 descret analog inputs which are the only way to get the un-compressed sound to an amp.

You also have to be careful because many of the soundbars do NOT even accept optical or coaxial-digital. Only stereo (aka ProLogic)

Make sure you read the fine print and if the Soundbar does NOT take optical - it cannot really simulate a 5.1 speaker array.

In general - the better soundbars are getting good reviews are ARE a good choice for simpler systems/parent systems where they do not want the clutter or complexity.

If you want to beef up the sound on your LCD or plasma TV, then check out the Sharp HTSB200 2.1 Channel Sound Bar System. A nice improvement on ...

if i buy all of these things i just want to know if sound will come out of all of them when hooked up to my TV, playstation 3, and 360

I would use one or the other. Soundbars are meant to imitate a 5.1 surround sound system. But I personally would just go with a good 5.1 setup.

Sound bars are really new technology for speakers and have become popular because they match your TV so well and most can be connected directly to your TV which is easy to set up and requires no other equipment. The downside is that the quality of sound is poor compared to really good full home theater systems that have 7 speakers and a subwoofer. Plus and amplifier. It really is the preferred option for most people but be prepared to spend more to get that convenience.

It's hooked up through HDMI. I want a surround system with just 2 speakers (or that sound bar that you lay in front of your TV) and a subwoofer. What is recommended?

Try out this Sony !!
