A 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

There is a jbl 3.1 at 240. Specially made for costco. We have a open hall and the subwoofer is good.

You 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
