I am hoping to get some advice on soundbars. The sound from my TV is not that great and I have trouble hearing what is being said. I have made all the tweaks possible on the TV and nothing helps. I can crank up the volume, but it gets too loud for anyone upstairs.
I also have a surround sound system, but the center speaker is small and not that great.
I have thought about getting a better center speaker, but believe that a soundbar would better serve my purposes. The space we have for our center speaker is very small, so I am very limited in what speaker I can get or it will not fit in that space.
What I would like is to be able to use my DirecTV remote to turn on the TV, cable box and soundbar all at one time. Anything more complicated and the wife will not do it. Is it possible to turn them all on at once?
What kind of soundbar should I get? I do not necessarily have a budget, but would like something reasonable.
I did some research and spoke to a sales guy at a home theater stroe and it seems lilke the Sonos soundbar is one of the best. I am not against having a Sonos soundbar or the price ($699), but want to make sure it is very good if I am going to pay that price.
The prices on the soundbars I have looked at run from $100 to $2000, which is quite a difference.
What soundbar would you recommend? Would I have to buy a universal remote to turn on all 3 items or will the soundbar turn on when my TV turns on?
Thank you
