Flatscreen question

[Davis83]

got a new 47" tv for our livingroom. Was wondering what a "soundbar" would do for us? anybody got one?

We have a 2 story house - livingroom is cathedral ceiling - sound from the tv seems to radiate everywhere except sitting in front of the tv! I mean, I can hear it great when I'm on the balcony overlooking the livingroom, but seem to always be turning it up when I'm sitting level with it.

Will a soundbar help?

A good HTIB would be a better bet.

Sounds like the speakers might be backward firing, but either way a soundbar would definitely help... TV speakers these days suck, if only because the cases are so slim that there is no room for them. Keep in mind that it will need a power outlet and that the TV will need to have audio outputs (almost all do); you can also get soundbars that come with subwoofers, which are great for filling out sound, esp. in your type of room.
