That Bose system looks huge. Anyway found the Yamaha sound bar with the wireless sub for 279 if your going spend a touch more

I feel there's better out there for the same budget imo BOSE have failed a little with this unit and I believe it's down to price as only their high market equipment sound good. I would look elsewhere and as mentioned the Yamaha make very good units.

At the end of the day it's a sound bar so therefore will never be as good as a amp and speaker set up. However like you say you only want to improve the TV built in speakers so firstly you need to think what TV you're going to buy first as they may be adequite for what you want?!?

Sounding better than the average flatscreen isn't hard. The average flatscreen speakers are fkin terrible!

I had a Toshiba with built in Onkyo speakers, they were pretty epic for built in speakers. But they got used for about 5 minutes lol.

Tried the Roth BAR3 this week. All the AV nerds and review sites say it's amazing for the money.

No it's not. It's sh*t. It's like I've strapped a crap speaker to the wall and put 5 pairs of socks over it, then added some dodgy DSP settings from a 90's Aiwa hifi.

So ... Philips to try next methinks, or one of the Samsung ones. I just want optical in and Bluetooth, plus a wireless sub!

Roth stuff is a bit cheap and nasty usually always on sale in our Costco
