The sound bar – When you can’t do surround sound…

There is no doubting the fact that the built-in speakers in today’s TVs are not on-par with the picture they put out.  If you’re going to have a high-definition picture, you need high-definition sound.  A full surround system is preferred, but if you can’t accommodate such a system in your home, a sound bar is definitely the best alternative.  Sound bars are very sleek, complimenting today’s flat panel televisions beautifully.  Sound bars incorporate multiple speakers and new technologies to give a great virtual surround experience, without all the clutter and wiring.  Sound bars are not big enough to output deep bass frequencies, so you will need a subwoofer to get the best experience.  Fortunately, many sound bars come with a wireless subwoofer which you can tuck away.  Some great and affordable sound bar systems are the Episode 3-channel sound bar series, and the Polk IHT SurroundBar series.

The Episode series of sound bars give flat panel TVs a reason to celebrate, with an incredible sound system that doesn’t clutter the surrounding wall with a bunch of speakers.  At only 2.75” deep, this sound bar not only looks great, but sounds amazing too.  This single sound bar is actually three independent speakers in one – consisting of left, center, and right channels.  It’s perfect for living room and bedroom applications with TVs smaller than 46”.

The Polk SurroundBar Instant Home Theater is a self-contained powered SurroundBar loudspeaker and companion wireless powered subwoofer. It is designed so anyone can hook it up and be enjoying it’s sound in under ten minutes.  And it’s priced so it won’t add to the national debt.  It’s the most economical way to upgrade your flat panel’s built-in speakers to a much, much higher level of performance and enjoy all the benefits of a three-dimensional sound stage.
