Soundbar Solution
In this series of blogs I am going to be looking at Soundbar options as a home entertainment system. I’ll explain my situation and why it
seems to be the best solution followed by a few options and which best suits my
environment. I’ll try and talk you
through it as best I can so you can apply it to your own situation.
What’s that racket?
I don’t know about you but my partner and I like different
movies, also I stay up later and tend to watch the movies when she goes to bed
and in our apartment the walls are not sound proof. She likes soppy dramas and
romantic stuff, I’m more of an action man; you know big CGI, gunfights, loud
noises but very quiet dialogue during the down time and there lies the
rub.
To hear the voices and small talk
between the action scenes the volume needs to be cranked up, then when The
Avengers ‘assemble' and head into battle the whole room starts to shake, my
girlfriend comes storming out of the bedroom and I get in trouble.
So I began looking for something that will
decrease the discrepancies between the dialogue and action scenes providing an
overall better sound as we all know the speakers facing out the back of the TV
are made to be annoying and not productive as I don’t sit behind the TV....
The obvious solution would be a 5.1 home entertainment system
with speakers around the room, but as we rent our apartment we can’t run cables through
the walls or ceiling and I get a bad look with even the mention of cables lying
around the room so the solution has to be very minimal.
Which do you prefer? A Soundbar on the wall vs. a traditional speaker setup
In steps the Soundbar, which should in fact
provide a surround sound atmosphere with fuller sound catering to all types of
entertainment not just my movies, while having minimal cables floating around
our lounge creating less clutter.
So
there you have it the Soundbar is the solution for me.
The next step is finding the right Soundbar........ Stay
tuned!
