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
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
1. Check for JBL SoundBar 580/590 in offline store like Reliance, Croma, Vijay Sales etc. you'll get in for ~ 18k. It is an amazing product with clear sound and clean bass. Also it is wireless 2. If you wish to stick to your budget then you can find some options with Boat but I'd not prefer spending that amount on boat. 3. Sony S20R is good but it is all wired. If you're okay with that then maybe it is fine 4. Look for Samsung Q600C, you might find last pieces at retail stores for ~ 16-18k. It is a good wireless soundbar 5. If you want to stretch the budget a bit then you can look for LG SQ75TR online/offline. During sale it was available for 23k. It is a wireless 5.1 system with dedicated rear satellites. 6. In a similar proce as above you can also get LG S77TY which is a newer model but with no satellites which can be later added which is again available from LG itself Overall if you plan on going for Boat, please do check Zebronics once. They have much better products.
