I would say the Vizio all in one 2.1 soundbar, it has subwoofers integrated into the soundbar itself, it will let you hear the bass without bothering the neighbors. I used to own one of the older models, im assuming the newer models continued having good sound quality.....

VIZIO M Series 2.1 Home Theater Sound Bar is around $150 before taxes. I have one and it’s great!

If you could find the Vizio M series 2.1 bar with the seperate subwoofer I’d recommend it. I got one for 90 dollars a couple years ago on clearance and I moved it to my spare room now. Still sounds great for the $ had eq, sound profiles, atmos and DTs support. But all I see now are the AIO ones with the built in sub

I have two simple Vizio soundbars paired with my C3 and C4 TVs. I enjoy them. Was pleasantly surprised since they are only 2.1. One has atoms the other doesn’t. For around $100 they can’t be beat. If you have a higher budget then I’d just research a little. I’ve heard good things about the Sonos bars

i grabbed the vizio 2.1 on its current $79 black friday sale from walmart, and its just fine for what it is. all i needed was better sound projection (my tv speakers are rear-facing), and the built-in subs were just a bonus.

I had the M-Series elevate and can say it's an excellent soundbar. If you can find one and it's in the budget, go for it. I just upgraded to the Q990F because, well, because I always want a new toy. :)

I just replaced an M-Series Elevate with the Q990F. The Vizio was a terrific 5.1.2 soundbar but the Q990F is in a different league. I bought it on Woot for $967 with an Amazon Prime Visa (5% back in Amazon rewards) and RetailMeNot gave me another $50. I doubt you'll save much more over that on Black Friday.

Despite others dislike of sound bars, I’d consider one for your specific use. I use a full blown HT system for my main viewing room. For an entertainment room a sound bar works well. I use a Vizio elevate for the non HT room. Clear audio and wireless sub and surrounds. No need to run wire around the room.
