Price range may be also a thing to consider as well! I, too, hope to have a sound bar for the TV in the living room (think it's a 42-inch Sony) so I'll be paying attention to all posts concerning this topic! Tom Kaufman

Sound bars are usually bought proportionally to the size of your TV. for example, if you have a 40 inch TV, you want to buy something closed to the size of the TV. then you have to decide if you want a sub woofer which can be wired or connected with bluetooth. they can be put in a corner or behind an easy chair. I have a Vizzio TV so I bought a Vizzio soundbar so the TV remote controls the soundbar as well. a lot of times if you have a different brand of TV, different than the soundbar you bought, you have to mute the speaker in the television or you get an echo. that is some of the things to consider. -----Original Message----- From: Joe Paton Sent: Wednesday, December 16, 2015 7:28 AM To: PC Audio Discussion List Subject: Re: Sound bar request for information from someone who has one Hi Vicky, Because the sound we like is a personal and subjective, experience, you are really best off, listening before you buy. Even then, In a listening room or shop environment, the system may sound completely different in your own living space. If space isn't an issue, I'd probably go with conventional speakers, but as I sed, this is subjective stuff.

Because of hearing difficulties, I would like to control the base and treble and may be other frequencies more closely. One of the features I need to know that it will be able to handle, is that it can go silent, when I want to use my headphones. These are plugged into the stereo and then, through a transmitter, wirelessly send the sound to the headphones. Are these possible? Are there any features that you think I need to have or beware of? Many and sincere thanks for any input! Vicky -- Joe Paton <[email protected]>
