petermk223 1.0A medium size bedroom and a the tv is some off brand Neon its 2k 50inch, i ended up getting a discount online on the jbl so i went with that and i figured it should do the job.
Price wise its double here, so in my currency the jbl is 700nis got a discount comes up to 580, the samsung is 1300nis, since im getting a budget friendly soundbar i had 3 options the polk signa s2, the jbl cinema sb550 or the samsung wh-c400 (the one with the built in sub). I was either jbl or polk, and since i found a coupon i decided to get the jbl. As long as the audio is decent and clear im ok with it
gidi103 0.1There is a jbl 3.1 at 240. Specially made for costco. We have a open hall and the subwoofer is good.
Idliketobut 0.1You will almost never use the surround sound after 1 year. Thats if you even ever set it up to be surround sound in the first place. I removed ours the other month after 14 years (hasnt been turned on in probably 7) and replaced it with a $150 3.1 JBL soundbar from The Warehouse
The Warehouse had a JBL 3.1 soundbar for $150 a couple months ago, they are pretty good
We got a JBL 3.1 Soundbar from The Warehouse a couple months ago for $150. Sounds perfectly fine to me, comparable to the Bose on my parents have
Zoso03 0.1Soundbars have their place. I happily used a $10 one I found in a thrift shop and a $170 JBL 3.0 I use in the bedroom. It's the best in between between real speakers and TV Speakers. When looking for speakers $200 will keep you firmly in the difficult to upgrade area. Basically getting an AVR and a pair of speakers will cost you at least $200 used but only if you're luckey but it sets you up for upgrades. You want better speakers then you change them and keep the AVR, or you want more options you can upgrade the AVR. I would stay away from Powered Speakers for this reason. I started with $50 speakers and $300 AVR, Upgraded the Speakers to a $1200 set, and got a $100 Desktop amp and used the speakers for my computer and then moved that setup to another room when i got a better set of speakers and amp for my computer for $200
