RE: Sound bar recomendation

I got sick of the awful sound set-up at my daughter's house and so bought her a sound bar for Christmas. I got her a vizio 5.1 that actually sounds pretty good. this one sells for about $300 and has surprisingly good sound. This one lets you get by without buying a lot of speaker cabling or a receiver, letting you put more of your budget into the TV and Blueray player. I strongly recommend that you spend an additional $60 on a lifatec glass cable to run fro the TV to the Vizio, and a high-quality HDI cable such as the $165 version from Mapleshade.

Good luck.

Everything is going to the dogs

Thanks for the soundbar recommendation. In another post, I've mentioned that I've decided to go with separates unless I can be convinced otherwise.

I think the receiver is important for us because of the microphone based sound level self-tuning that it can do and the dynamic range control to help control extremely loud sound effects and annoying commercials. Actually, I wasn't even aware that I could operate without one.

I'll have to research cables more, but they can be upgraded after the initial install.

Thanks!
