I don't understand sound bars. Why not just get surround sound? It just doesn't seem like it could really be that good. -- nm

Here is our issue. We have an Onkyo 7.1 system. It generates a LOT of heat. We are finding the AC can't keep up during the Summer. - Bacon Jul 15, 10:26 7
- I've basically retired my receiver. I've plugged my soundbar right into my TV and use the TV for switching. - Mop Jul 15, 10:27 6
  - I am also liking the bluetooth on this yamaha so I can stream my music from my phone. -- nm - Bacon Jul 15, 10:29 5
    - Yup. Bluetooth is the only think missing from my living room right now, and the only reason I'd replace my current soundbar or my receiver. - Mop Jul 15, 10:31 3
      - I have a solution for you. Let me find it and I will link. I use one and they are awesome -- nm - Bacon Jul 15, 10:33 2
        
        Here ya go. This is the one I bought. -- (link) - Bacon Jul 15, 10:34 1
        
        Nice! -- nm - Mop Jul 15, 10:48
    - On the waiting list though so fingers crossed -- nm - Bacon Jul 15, 10:29
You guys just convinced me that I need to get a sound bar. :-) - Krusty Jul 15, 10:24 5
- I'd get one with a subwoofer if it's the main tv. We picked one up at walmart for under $100 at Christmastime. - spamlet Jul 15, 10:26 2
  - Thanks. I'll see what's on sale around the holidays but I'll make sure to get one with the subwoofer. - Krusty Jul 15, 10:28
  - This bar has two subs inside of it. -- nm - Bacon Jul 15, 10:27

  - Heh. :-) -- nm - Krusty Jul 15, 10:29
It's better than your TV speakers but doesn't require wiring your living room. - Mop Jul 15, 10:21
My living room isn't really conducive to a surround set-up, and my wife will only tolerate so much gadgetry. This does have an excellent surround - emoticripple Jul 15, 10:21
It's good enough and you don't have wires going everywhere. -- nm - spamlet Jul 15, 10:19
