Phillips HTL2163B or something around that price.Well they look good, i am tired of cables and want to try them.

I don't know if you noticed but that thing is huge and are intended for tv setup. But if you like the style of soundbar and want to try them then go ahead. To answer your question it's not a good buy and I don't think anyone on this sub would recommend them over speakers setup.

Sound bars are absolutely awful. They have the worst sound quality of any speaker I've ever heard. It's generally a wide box full of tweeters and all the mid-tones and low frequencies are sent to the subwoofer. You're better off purchasing anything from JBL with a small amplifier.

 

$70 Speakers: http://www.amazon.com/JBL-Loft-Bookshelf-Speakers-Pair/dp/B00DKPJSIM/

$10 Speaker Wire: http://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-16-Gauge-Speaker-Wire-Feet/dp/B006LW0WDQ

$30 Amplifier: http://www.amazon.com/Lepai-LP-2020A-Tripath-Class-T-Amplifier/dp/B0049P6OTI

$10 Cable: http://www.amazon.com/BlueRigger-3-5mm-Stereo-Audio-Cable/dp/B008UG6GCC

 

That's about $120 and it will be significantly better sound quality, and probably cheaper, than most sound bars.

 

Some $500+ sound bars might sound better, but $500+ speakers would destroy them.

This, or find used parts on craigslist.

There are some good deals.
