Hello to all: I've toyed with the idea with getting a sound bar for the TV in my living room. Until this past weekend, I had never even seen one or heard one! But last Saturday, I had some new Satellite equipment put in from Dish Network. The tech told me that he had this sound bar along with him that they sold; he said I could have it for $200; he even said he'd bring it in and let me listen to it! After hearing him describing it to me, I kind of was expecting that it would just blow me away! Well he brought it in and hooked it up and then.when he turned it on, I thought , 'is that all there is?" I was expecting to hear a nice big full sound with some fairly deep base! He (the tech) explained that he liked "loud".well it was louder.but to my ear, that was about all it was! Now to be fair, I was sitting a little ways away from it, so I walked over to where he had it set up (in front of the TV) it didn't sound all that bad, but for two hundred bucks, I was expecting more! So I guess my question is, for two hundred dollars, what kind of sound bar can I expect to find? This one was a Polk (I hear they're supposed to be one of the best) now maybe it had some adjustments to make it have more "highs" or more "base"".but he didn't indicate this to me; it seemed like what I was hearing was exactly what it was! So I passed! But am thinking that I ought to be able to get a pretty decent sound bar for somewhere within the 100 to 3200 dollar range! I know we have some people on here who know a lot more about these things than I do; there are some who really know what sounds good and what doesn't! So what brands should I be looking at and what brands do I need to stay away from? BTW-and this surprised me: he told me to stay away from Viezeo! I had been under the impression that Visio made good quality products; the TV in the kitchen is a VidZeo! While it's okay 9just a 19-inch portable, it does what I need it to do and has been in there since probably 2010 (mom had gotten it to play while she was out there cooking supper or otherwise working in the kitchen! So will be interested in what you all think are good sound bars and what I should even be looking for in a sound bar!
