VIZIO - M-Series Elevate

I bought the M-Series Elevate a year ago with a great Black Friday deal on Amazon and I haven't looked back.

That one doesn't have rear or upfiring speakers. I have a Vizio M-Series Elevate. If you can find one still available I'd jump on it. It's been replaced with the Elevate SE. That said, Hisense seems to have replaced Vizio in the bang for the buck category so check this out: [Amazon.com: Hisense AX5125H 5.1.2Ch Sound Bar with Wireless Subwoofer, 500W, Dolby Atmos, Bluetooth 5.3, EzPlay, 4K HDMI Pass Through, Roku TV Ready, DTS:X, HDMI/AUX/ARC/Optical/USB, 7 EQ Modes : Electronics](https://www.amazon.com/Hisense-AX5125H-Wireless-Subwoofer-Bluetooth/dp/B0CBRXTWGP/?th=1)

I went with the LG G4 and I'm pretty happy with it, but the C4 should be excellent as well along with the comparable Sonys and Samsungs (I helped someone else pick out a TV and he was very happy with his C4). I went with the Panasonic UB820 since it seems like the sweet spot of having all of the necessary specs and for my soundbar I managed to find a good deal on a Vizio Elevate M-Series, but I suggest you look around for everything. For a while I was eyeing a different Vizio device, but this one was one tier up from that one, while still being slightly lower than I've seen the lower tiered one and with the UHD player I found an open box one in great condition for a much lower price than it is new. Vizio makes great bang for your buck for soundbars, but Samsung makes the best one if you're looking high end, but by then you should be going for a real sound system.

Same here....I bought Vizio elevate system. Wow, never going back.

I have a Vizio elevate sound bar etc....more than happy with it.

I have this and love it! I have it paired with my C3 and I couldn’t be happier. I don’t want to upgrade eventually but for not I’m enjoying the elevate

Found a Vizio M series for 80 bucks, it was a steal. It’s really good

M series is what i would buy. Reviews have looked like it punches above its price point.

[Here’s a list of top soundbars for under $300](https://www.rtings.com/soundbar/reviews/best/by-price/under-300) The Vizio M series is probably your best bet for a budget soundbar and overall sound experience. Note that dialogue usually only comes out of the soundbar itself and not the surround speakers, the surrounds are there to add an immersive experience for action scenes where sounds are coming from behind/around you but generally dialogue is limited to the soundbar itself due to the audio mix, so focus on a soundbar with good dialogue vs thinking that adding surround speakers will make your dialogue sound better.
