Can anyone recommend an inexpensive sound bar?

Mar 5, 2013 3:27 AM

I'm looking to get an inexpensive (read under $150) to get a little better sound and evenness to the sound from my also inexpensive TV. Just wondering if anyone has seen any deals on any or knows of any that they would recommend? And yes, I did see the Woot Plus deal in the Tech section.

No personal experience, but based on the reviews, this one is decent at $100.

If you're on a bigger budget, have the space, and don't mind having to hookup some components, then go separate with some bookshelf speakers and a $19 Lepai amp. $50 total using these + cables will sound much much better than the TV's built-in speakers already.

I have the Vizio one that every online outlet has for $60 refurbished and let me say it is way better than my LCD's speakers, but it is very picky. The part that holds the optical connector in broke within 2 months (more of my kids fault though) and the remote is a complete disaster, but if you don't use the remote and don't have destructive kids it works fine.

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
