Hi Mary,
I haven't actually tried it but the Sonos system is pretty good I have the
sonos play 1 speakers and the IOS Sonos app works great for config and
useability
The SOnos Play bar would be very configurable but you would need to have a tv
or device that you can connect it to as I don't think it has HDMI for plugging
in the Apple tv, but the bar does have Optical which most tv's have
Might be worth while having a look into,
I have my aTV connected to the tv I have and then that is connected to my
speakers via optical and works great, I've been thinking about the sonos play
bar to allow my sonos play 1's to be able to output the audio from the aTV.
Might have to have a look at it again tomorrow.

Subject: Good sound bar that will work well with an Apple TV and voiceover
I know I have brought this topic up before. Another year has gone by, and there
are many sound bars on sale right now with substantial discount. But if I don't
work any better than what we have now, I don't want to spend another few
hundred bucks and be disappointed. The problem I have, and I know others have
had it as well, is that when you have voiceover on your Apple TV and that is
connected to a sound bar, you miss words from voiceover. When sound is playing,
as when you have music or TV program active, there are no VoiceOver missing
words. This has something to do with the HDMI, and I don't remember exactly
what. But I know that when I look at the sound bars online, it doesn't really
give any indication of any of the specs that I might need to know up to see if
voiceover is going to work right. We just got a Roku streaming stick with
accessibility. It's suffers from the same problem as voiceover. You miss lots
of words. So, I would really like to get a nice quality sound bar that actually
lets me use these devices. I can sort of get around it with the Apple TV by
using a Bluetooth speaker. But then of course, the sound bar isn't in use.
Anyway, I would really like a top quality sound bar that is going to do what I
need it to do for any of these connected devices that have voice accessibility.
Does anybody have any advice?
