Sound bars that sit directly under the TV have become more popular than full surround sound “home theatre in a box” systems. Part of the reason is that people don’t want to deal with all the wires and setup required with a special receiver, five speakers, and a subwoofer. Sound bars have also greatly improved their ability to create a virtual surround experience. Because they generally won't give quite as good a surround experience as discrete speaker systems (5.1 or higher), buying higher quality sound bar systems will get you pretty close. Precision Acoustics has a couple of great quality sound bar and subwoofer combinations that won’t disappoint.
Money is an object, but you don't want to compromise on sound? Tall order, but not impossible. For proof, there's no need to look any further than Canada’s Precision Acoustics for your home (and car) audio needs.
