Well, advice then? I know sound is extremely important but I'll put my hand up and admit I don't know much about specific brands and technical specs.

Buy a home audio/ theatre magazine

Jus buy headphones and watch Kino on PC

I felt like I gave a good suggestion

>terrible streams

If you get a sound bar it makes no sense to get more speakers later, sound bars simulate surround sound.

Get an AV receiver, good subwoofer, center and LR speakers for a start. Yamaha is a nice brand.

Don't. Get an Onkyo Dolby Atmos/DTS:X 11.2 receiver instead and buy five speakers and one subwoofer then fill in the blanks when your budget increases.

Anyways, who Dolby Atmos/DTS:X 11.2 master race here?

idiot.

Well there's a lot to said in this field.
But I wouldn't expect much from a soundbar.
Having that many drivers in a small width is no real benefit.


I personally have a pair of dynadio bm5mkii''s
They aren't made for movies in the sense that it's only 2 drivers (4 if you include tweeters).
But they can be eerie to watch movies with.
I was watching the hobbit a few years ago, and when gandalf opened Baggins door and walked in on the right hand of the screen it legit sounded like someone opened my door and walked in.

Thanks for the replies.

Just spent an hour trawling the Whirlpool forums and have a much better idea now.

It's a daunting barrier to entry though trying to understand what's good vs what's not. The dopey bitch at JB who kept herding me back to the Bose wasn't a big help.

Too loud for me. I won't be able to hear myself think

Please don't waste your money on soundbars.
Please don't waste your money on anything from Bose.

What is your budget? What is your playback device? If torrents, which encodes are you mostly downloading? Is your room even suitable for a surround sound setup?

You said nothing.
Also you're better off asking this question in /g/ than here, most people here watch movies on a 13 inch Toshiba laptop with one earbud on on a random stream with 96kbps audio.
